What was your concern with this review?
I now own three rollators. This is my first one from Trionic. The first rollator from another company sounded like clanging metal as I walked along. It also got caught on all the broken pavements where I live and was therefore unstable. The second one from another company didn't make the awful noise but still got caught on all the dodgy pavements where I live. Then the frame would tip forward and slam back down onto my shins. I got fed up with being bruised by the very equipment that was supposed to help me stay on my feet. Clearly where I live is so badly maintained that I needed an all-terrain utter monster of a rollator just to walk along the pavements.
The Veloped Trek did not disappoint. It laughs in the face of upturned paving slabs and stupid drop kerbs that haven't been made properly. Bonus-because it has wheels bigger than my head, I can take it into the woods. (Which appear to be flatter than the pavements!)
The only downside is that I sometimes lurch from side to side and as it's a three-wheeler, it sometimes lurches with me, but it is still stable enough for me to recover. I do need narrower hips to sit comfortably in the seat, but I'm working on that!
Trionic Walker, a great device!!!…
Just a great device, the 'Trionic Walker', which I ordered the end of June 2015 in Uppsala. Two days later, the Walker was already there. Due to a herniated disc which I had suffered in a fall from a bicycle, walking was always more difficult because…
Brilliant!…
I have MND and walking has become more difficult - mainly due to the worry of tripping and balance. Since I have had the walker, I have been able to enjoy going for walks again and can walk much faster with the walker for support. The walker is so …
Excellent Product, well thought out…
This is an excellent product, once you have got over the price! There is not another like it on the market. The pneumatic tyres make a huge difference, especially on rough or non-existent roads. It's actually worth it. The brakes are not the best, th…
Finally a safe companion…
Now that I have been able to walk without difficulties with my walker for two months, I would like to thank you once again for this great invention. People keep being amazed and ask me about my walking aid and I can only recommend it. Interested peop…
OVER THE MOON…
I was cautious to buy due to the price. I tried others in the shop (UK) and was appalled by the wobbly feelings they induce in me.
I wanted something stable, easy to take on the UK (stagecoach) buses and would accommodate my arthritic Pomeranian.…
Veloped Trek for Snowdon!…
I recently purchased my first Veloped and it has helped immensely in improving my fitness and mental health by getting me outdoors more often. I have Parkinson’s disease and am getting fit ready to walk up Snowdon with it in a few months time for cha…
Anne Mears…
I love the fact that I can walk in the countryside again and not be fazed by rough terrains like large gravel, grass paths and uneven surfaces. It means I can get away from cars and houses and surround myself with greenery. This lifts my spirits and …
I'll just tell you about my experiences :))…
Everything positive has already been said in earlier reviews, so I'll concentrate on my experiences here on Coastal Lancashire, with its paths through sand dunes and pine forests.
About me: I'm 84 and had a very active, not to say athletic, lifest…
