What was your concern with this review?
My Rolls Royce – a.k.a. Walker 12 – and me have now together undergone the ultimate test, namely the Stockholm winter 2018-2019 with snow plowing à la Stockholm municipality.
The sidewalks and walkways have either been covered in either 10 centimeters of snow slush or ice rink-style ice with caked-in tennis balls. Pedestrians have generally preferred walking in the actual streets to be able to get around, or clamped onto the building walls for support.
But not us! We have been able to navigate the sidewalks without any problems. The mobility in the cross leads to constant ground contact with all four wheels and adding the width of the Rolls to that, there has been no risk whatsoever of slipping or falling down.
We met a fellow sister among us walker-users, in a parking lot in the wet snow. She was dragging her walker, dragging because the wet snow had built up in front of the brake clamps and made it impossible for the wheels to rotate. Thankfully, the Walker 12 has disc brakes, so anything like that could never happen. The brakes always work in all conditions.
With the dogs in tow, I have walked along Lidingöloppet – a track in Lidingö – in loose and trampled snow. It works, even though it's strenuous, but would be completely impossible with another walker. The fact that there are ball bearings on the hubs and that the wheels are relatively big is probably part of the secret. The width of the walker is probably also a help.
If I could wish for anything, it would be a bigger loading space, but one can't have everything. I have acquired a roomy sport bag which fits the size of the seat perfectly, and I can keep it there fully packed when I walk, and when I need to sit, I just lift it off. With a strap around it, it holds steady.
I am more than happy with my purchase of Walker 12. It's a lot of money, but it's not the same thing as being expensive. If I keep another 10 years – and the Rolls also keeps that long without needing repairs – it will have cost me 83 SEK a month. I am so happy that I found and had the chance of getting it.
A life saver!…
Firstly, the customer service has been faultless, from the advice when ordering my Trionic Veloped, to the immediate response when, after daily use for over 5 years, I needed to order a new seat and basket.
I have little to no balance, as well as …

Bought this for my husband with Parkinson’s who had lost confidence with walking. Now wants to go out for a walk daily, and feels safe. The quality of the product is excellent. Delivery was excellent and only had to lift it out of the box, open it up…
Perfect for gravel roads…
Purchased this for my 88 year old mother. It works perfectly in our rural area. She can now navigate gravel roads with the large tires (the small plastic wheels on her old walker kept getting stuck). It looks good too! She enjoys the positive comm…

Since I have this rollator, I could cry with happiness. I walked around with the wrong one for three years and ruined my right hand.
The walker arrived and UPS even helped me with the box. I opened the box without any problems, overturned it and s…

The first thing I bought was the Veloped Tour version for my mother and I was very pleasantly surprised! The quality is a laugh compared to the rollator you are currently using. Now I have commissioned the second one for my father. I will definitely …

Excellent product and very good pre-sales support. My only issue is I wish the seat was a little wider or that I was a little narrower!…
My travel walker…
I bought the Trionic Veloped a few years ago for the outdoor use, specifically to walk my dog over rough terrain. After my dog and I got a bit older (almost 15 and 70 years old), I also bought the Walker 9er to be used indoors and as a 'travel walker…

I am currently mostly housebound due to recovering from broken ankle and ribs! Also the recent weather has not helped as it has been wet and at times icy!
I have made about six or seven short walks from the house to local to our local roadway, wea…
