I am delighted with my Trionic Walker which is superior to the other products I have used.

It was delivered fully operational, stable in use and the pneumatic wheels ensure comfort for the wrists and arms. I have so far used it in an urban environment and it has coped well with all kerbs and uneven surfaces.

The Trionic 14er has enabled my wife to make great progress in her rehabilitation following a stroke. She has confidence in its stability and steering and this has given her the confidence to get out and walk. Worth the investment without reserve.

Great health and pleasure benefit
Due to an increasing neurological problem, I could only walk about 100 m before having to stop and sit down. On my first outing with the Walker, I could easily do a 400 m distance without the need to stop. I have gradually been able to increase my distance to 4 km with one stop. I have been using the Walker on rough country tracks as well as on smooth paths in parks. It is a great health benefit and I can go back to places that had become impossible for me to get to.

I can just manage lifting it into the rear of my car with the wheels on.
It is very well made and easy to adjust.
I am really pleased that I bought it.

We had a good coverage of snow in Berkshire today. I was able to walk to work with support of the Trionic Veloped.

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, lifestyle, so it was a bitter pill to swallow when I developed a balance problem and lost a lot of muscle strength.
Nevertheless, I am determined to continue being as active as possible! So I bought a Trionic Veloped Trek with the 14-inch wheels and all-terrain tyres.
After a cautious initial practise on local urban pavements and navigating the interiors of shops large and small, my next test was to get on and off our MerseyRail trains (still operating very old rolling stock on this line, with a high step up or down). I found a technique: brakes on, pull back to lift front wheel off ground, brakes off and roll in.
I was ready for the pine forest trails; no problems here though long uphill slopes were of course hard work. Going downhill I found tricky as the Veloped tended to yaw as it's not possible to apply both brakes evenly. (Same problem in the city on extended station and department store ramps – a light touch is needed).
I decided to test 'The Beast' by going off-trail, into the pine woods. This offered an altogether tougher challenge; the slopes I could manage with care (not to tip over sideways!) But narrow paths filled with pine cones were hard, even for the 24” wheels, probably because the cones are loose.
The biggest challenge by far is to get through loose sand. Long stretches of loose sand (sand traps!) were very hard indeed for me on one walk but another day I managed a short section to get onto the firm sand of the beach and was rewarded with long stretches of easy walking and glorious views!
I wish I could take some photos of this trip!
On public transport: I've had no problems storing the Trek on our local bus routes but would hesitate to take it on busier city routes.
One note of caution: When putting small items into the pocket at the back of the basket, it's very easy to miss and not realise it's dropped on the floor. Also, the 'rain cover' gets tangled with small items like keys. I haven't worked out how this rain cover is to be firmly fastened at the front when in use.
And so far, I haven't found a use for the extra storage bags provided with the Trek, so I probably should have bought the Tour version, which is a Trek without the extra bags. (I was put off by the illustration, yet they are both the same; the Trek photo just looked more like me).

The Veloped Trek has enabled me to visit the beach regularly- something I hadn’t been able to do for a long time. I have also been to an outdoor festival and was able to travel around the fields to see the stalls and the bands in the music tents. The rough terrain mode is really good- also being able to fold up the Veloped to get through narrow spaces,for instance, in restaurants, has been fantastic. Many people have inquired about the Veloped and have been fascinated by the engineering. The Veloped has made lots of friends in Wales already. Really pleased to have it, and it’s definitely changed things for me by giving me more access to the outdoors and boosting my confidence.

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 the corresponding rear wheel, hold the brake cable straight, align the slot of the black locking screw so that the cable can be inserted/removed and finally unhook the pin on the lever. Pull the brake cable a little if necessary. Then just reassemble in reverse order.
