Hello! How can we help you?

How to adjust the Trionic Walker Syncro Steering?

Does it appear that there is a misalignment of the front wheels? It might have happened after the walker was folded for transportation and stored in the boot of the car. Even if you regularly transport the walker this way but have never had this trouble before, it might happen due to the unfolding procedure.

Though the inner tolerance of the front frame tube prevents the timing belt from changing its position, it looks like the timing belt has slipped over a couple of teeth and the front wheels are no longer parallel.

The headsets (bearings) of the front wheel forks work exactly like a modern Aheadset on a bicycle. If you are hesitant, please turn to a bicycle shop or someone familiar with modern bicycles, and they can explain how the Aheadset works.

By using a 5 mm Allen key as the only required tool, you can get the timing belt centred again as shown in the following video:

It is vital that the big centre pulley is centred both sideways and lengthwise.

To prevent this from happening again, please keep in mind that when the Walker is folded, the syncro belt is slackened, and the front wheels can turn into different positions not being parallel.

 

When unfolding the Walker, please always do as follows:

1. Grab the handles and unfold the frame as far as possible.

2. Grab the right handle and lift the right front and rear wheels off the ground a little.

3. While holding them lifted, press down on the left rear corner of the seat to lock the Walker in walking mode (with your left hand).

 

If done as of above, the unfolding is easier as the right wheels do not slide along the ground (increased friction), and the right front wheel is free to turn into its aligned position. This makes it easier for the latch to engage/lock.

    I've only had my Veloped a week, and every day I've taken small excursions around the city and the running track… After TBE and meningitis, my balance is not as it used to be, on top of that I have foot arthrodesis that hasn't healed, so in 3 years I…

  • Fantastic product!…

    The Veloped Tour is the Rolls Royce of rollators (infact it isn't correct to call it a rollator-its so much more) I thought long and hard about making this purchase as it isn't cheap but am so glad that I decided to buy it. For someone like me who ha…

  • Amazing!!…

    Here the Trek 14er comes in. Unlike regular rollators, it's designed to cope with rough/uneven terrain, it's sturdy enough to support me, yet still lightweight enough for me to lift in and out of my car etc. It has a seat for when I have to stop and …

  • 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…
