New grips

Rating:

What was your concern with this review?

The new grips fit & work perfectly. I found they were easy to install but I do have some mechanical skills.

I have owned my 12er for about six years and have completed 5 Marathons (26.2 mi) with it. I estimate I have walked nearly 3,500 miles with it and it is beginning to show some wear, thus the need for new grips.

I have a set of 14” wheels that I snap on when actually doing the marathon. Most of the rest of time I use the 12” wheels because they are somewhat easier to hoist in and out of the car. However, the 12” tires are quite worn so replacement time draws near.

The walker has made it possible for me to travel all over the world including such diverse places as the cobblestone streets of Europe, the islands of the Galápagos and the trails of Africa. It has definitely been a life changer!
I am having trouble getting the brakes properly adjusted after replacing a brake cable.

    Thanks to its large pneumatic tyres, the Walker helps me to get easily over the cobblestones on the streets and pavements in my neighbourhood, Niederschönhausen (Berlin-Pankow). And other unevenness are also well cushioned.

    This walker is everything I hopped it would be. It makes access to rough uneven terrain easy because of the inflatable tyres.. For me with arthritic shoulders I find it makes walking using this walker virtually pain free. It attracts interest from ot…

  • Walking whereever you want…

    There are many little towns in Germany, where the pavements are cobblestone. The Trionic Veloped makes it easy to walk around. The wheels are the best you can have, also for walking in the woods and fields.…

  • Technic of folding and holding…

    I have to go through three tight doors to come into my apartment. To keep the Veloped folded, I am holding it together with a small bungee cord. Is there a better idea?

    At the locker, the small cover is sadly not holding and slides always to the s…

    My Trionic 14 walker has been a revelation in terms of mobility. I has enabled me to get out and about and is easily transportable in the car. From being able to cover a few hundred yards (slowly) I am now regularly walking around the park and thorou…
