Hello! How can we help you?

How do I adjust the brake cable tension on my Veloped/Walker?

To ensure that you can use your Veloped/Walker safely, with time you need to adjust the brakes as they get worn. Adjusting the brakes does not require any tools and you’ll also find instructions in your manual.

Just follow these simple steps: 

Step 1. Adjust the adjustment screw on the brake lever with your fingers. If you screw the adjustment screw counter-clockwise (outwards) you tighten the brake, and if you screw the adjuster screw clockwise (inwards) you loosen the brake.

Step 2.After you have adjusted the brake tension with the adjuster screw, fix it in place by screwing the black nut clockwise until it stops against the main body of the brake lever.

Step 3. Test the brake function to ensure that you can both engage the motion brake and also the parking brake. If the lever has to be pulled a long way or the parking brake no longer holds, the brake cable has usually stretched: turn the adjuster screw a little more counter-clockwise and lock it with the nut. On the Walker you can also make the parking brake engage more firmly by removing the rear wheel and turning the cable adjusting screw at the wheel clockwise. If the brake is still weak, the cable may need replacing or the brake rubber or hub brake may be worn. If a brake lever is broken, send a photo, your address and your phone number to support@trionic.com. As a rule of thumb, the brakes need adjusting about every two years.

    I have found the Trionic Walker excellent, as I have numb fingers tips, I am able to collapse the handle down with the clip locks, which has helped in keeping my independence.

  • Very good choice for a disabled girl, almost 9 years old...!…

    We bought the Trionic Veloped to our daughter. She is nine years old this summer so Veloped is not really suited for her size yet. But, we still think it works very well in terrain and that was exactly what we were searching, for such a long time!
