Once a healthy, well-trained surgeon, now using a walker for daily activities
Magnus Legert is a former elite tennis player who worked as an orthopaedic surgeon. Life, however, took an unexpected turn. From being a healthy 50-year-old, he now lives with ataxia and is highly dependent on a walker. Rehab is an important part of Magnus' everyday life and without good assistive devices, this wouldn't be possible. Here, he shares his story in the hope of helping more people achieve freedom of movement.

86-year-old veteran climbs Pen y Fan with a walker
Ian Waddell, who turned 86 on March 4, 2024, has severe osteoarthritis and can't walk without two crutches or his walker. "The cardiologist team told me the closest I should ever get to a mountain is looking at a picture of it," he said. But I told them, 'Well, I am doing it anyway.'" As a veteran or former Parachute Regiment Soldier, Ian loves the outdoors and doesn't want to become a person who stays at home and watches TV all day because of his condition.

After the coma: Kenny Noyes aims for the half marathon in Barcelona
During a race weekend in July 2015, the professional motorcycle racer Kenny Noyes had a nasty crash that almost killed him. He suffered a traumatic brain injury and was in a coma for over a month – but fortunately, woke up. For the past 8 years he has been working daily and lately he has been improving with the help of the Trionic Veloped. Next year he plans to compete with it in the half marathon of Barcelona.

  • Field report after one year of use…

    The advert and description in the brochure is 100% true. Nothing is exaggerated. Disadvantageous or not optimal are the tyres. The air escapes too fast. A severely handicapped person will then usually find it very difficult, because a petrol station …

  • THE best…

    All round great/ fantastic unit. Easy to use, and gets around shops etc with very good manoeuvring. Folds up small. Very happy. I find it's pretty good off-road too.

  • It has been a couple of months now since I first got my Veloped Trek.…

    After a few weeks of use, my foot no longer hits the front wheel and the problem I had with navigating the unit in tight corners in the climbing mode has ceased. I suppose it was simply a matter of accustoming myself to the unit that resolved these m…

  • So, so happy…

    I am so happy with my veloped, it's made walking so much easier. I enjoy being in the countryside , in the woods and tracks. With the usual walker with four corner wheels I found it difficult with stones and roots and branches but the veloped just gl…

  • My new Trionic walking partner…

    I had read positive reviews on the Trionic Sports Veloped after research on a suitable walking aid. I have been using Norwegian walking poles but my osteoporosis and arthritis were limiting my walking. I ordered one through Mobility Smart in Preston …

  • Sturdy Product -…

    Since I got a new car I was finding it more difficult to get the walker in and out of the boot area. Keeping the walker inside the cover has made moving it much easier. It also means any muck on the wheels doesn't transfer to the car before I get th…

  • I bought the Walker 11 years ago…

    Dear Sir or Madam, they asked for a review of the Trionic Walker, but I only ordered 2 inner tubes. I bought the walker 11 years ago and am still enthusiastic about it today. It can cope with almost any terrain, runs easily thanks to the large pneuma…
