Its true; part of the reason I love my Trionic rollator 12er is because it just looks cool! I know, I know, that sounds so superficial—yet, it is important. I'm an active 53 year old with two teenagers, and I've had multiple sclerosis (MS) for over twenty-five years. When I walk around with my Trionic, it gets all of the attention instead of my wonky legs!! But that is not all… this rollator has so much more to offer than good looks. The Trionic rollator is solid and stable yet light enough for me to easily lift it in and out of the car! The Trionic rollator has brakes that work in the rain! From the tires—to the brakes—to the styling and fine construction, I feel good pushing this baby around! That good feeling keeps me pushing!
“The Trionic rollator has brakes that work in the rain!”
It was 1991, and I was 26 years old when the doctor told me that the optic neuritis and the tingling in my extremities would likely go on to become MS. “Get yourself a wheelchair picked out and start preparing for disability,” he told me… but I'm kinda stubborn, so I responded by becoming as active as possible.
Why? Because I just wanted to move while I still could. I stopped using elevators - stairs for me! We lived in Marin county, just north of San Francisco, at the time, and I immediately stopped driving to work and began commuting on my mountain bike.
Within a year, I was able to ride up Mt. Tamalpais in Marin! That's a 2,000 foot (610 meters) climb straight up! Turns out all the top research shows exercise is the best thing a person with MS can do to prevent progression of the disease! Lucky me!!
It's twenty-seven years later, and slowly but steadily, my mobility has become more limited. Today, I am grateful to live in a small coastal town in Northern California north of San Francisco. Unfortunately, our little town is tough going for a conventional rollator—some of our “sidewalks” are grass!
We have
some cobblestone streets and many gravel trails… the Trionic handles it all easily. Yes, I have MS, but life is still full of adventure! I'm not done living. I still
have much to explore — I still have much to give! With my Trionic, I can enjoy the gravel paths along the coast. With my outdoor rollator from Trionic, I can explore the botanical
gardens with my kids. With my Trionic, I can go all over Mendocino Village… with my Trionic rollator, I can live! — Check them out!
Thanks for the helping hand,

Buying a ROLLATOR…
Did a brochure request which arrived promptly from Sweden - why can’t local companies manage this!
Realised I would be a questionable size in terms of fitting their machines. So I rang and got through almost immediately and had an extremely inform…
Exactly as advertised, speedily dispatched, affordable…
I ordered four inner tubes for 12 inch Veloped wheels, priced in GBP. They arrived from Sweden after only a few days, with no import duty to pay, all at an affordable price. They work perfectly within the existing tyres. Pleased with the result.…
Everything is great…
I don't have any photos yet, but other than that, everything is great.…
Very satisfied…
The manoeuvrability and quality of the components are excellent. The Walker, with its large tyres, is much easier to steer than a conventional model, especially on uneven terrains such as pavements or gravel paths. The high axles on the rear wheels i…
So good we bought a second one…
We bought the Veloped Sport as we live on a farm and have horses and were very pleased with it and felt safe using it. But we found it a bit large for some situations like hospital appointments and getting it in the car. So bought the walker as well.…
Based on excellent experiences with the Veloped and the Walker…
Based on my excellent experience with the Veloped, I also bought the Walker for my mother to use in the city. So far, my mother is completely satisfied with both mobility aids. Both walkers are robust, well-designed and make a very good impression.

Good concept for replacement…
I needed to replace a brake lever because the thread for the clamping screw was worn out. I looked for the instructions on this site and have to say it was super simple to replace the lever. Simply remove the handle, pull off the brake lever, remove …
Veloped Sport…
I am very satisfied with the Veloped Sport and can now go on longer rounds through the woods and on more challenging terrain without any problems.
I can only recommend this product!…
My Veloped/ Walker 12 has everything...…
I have two little dogs who are older, just like their owner. So, I was looking for something that would suit the three of us.
It had to be all-terrain and have a large basket.
I searched the internet and found what I was looking for at the Swedis…
