What was your concern with this review?
This is my second Walker 9er. We gifted the first one to a dear friend who was unable to buy her own and after a trial run it was clearly just what she needed to become more mobile. She is in her nineties and would agree with all my comments in this review.
So I made the purchase of walker number 2 and delivery was early, taking four days instead of the scheduled seven from Sweden to UK. The walker is a sturdy yet surprisingly light item. It looks as though it should be heavier. The wheels have solid rubberised tyres which have some bounce and make a soft ride. I use it mainly for indoors and shopping around the supermarkets. It has height adjustable handles and has provision for a seat backrest, but I found that the backrest was not very durable on the first walker and although Trionic replaced it under the guarantee the replacement did not last long, so I now use the new one without backrest. Quite honestly I found the walker more comfortable without it.
The two things which set the Trionic walker apart from any others that I have seen are the front wheel alignment mechanism and the hub braking system. The wheel alignment prevents ‘shimmying’ and is a marvellous invention. The brakes are smooth, powerful and easily adjustable. Occasionally the cables can snag on nearby furniture but that is not a real issue. However, a design that puts the cables inside the frame would be a great improvement both for convenience and streamlined appearance.
The walker stows easily in our ‘average’ saloon car. The supplied user guide shows how it folds easily and stresses the importance of locking the frame open to preserve the integrity of the wheel mechanism before use.
I also have a walker 14er for mainly outdoor use in town and on light, off-road situations. Plus, I have a veloped 14er for all-terrain walking. Based on my experience with these two larger models I would not recommend the walker 9er for rough terrain.
One criticism I often hear is that the Trionic range is expensive. Sorry, but you get what you pay for. Yes, the walker is not cheap but the quality of the item and the after sales service make it excellent value for money. Also, in UK, it is exempt from Value Added Tax.
Very satisfied. It works really well!…
We bought the Veloped for our son. He has problems with balance and endurance as he walks. And we all like to be out in nature. With his new aid, he is much more independent, and much safer on the road. It works really well!…
It shines on all Terrains…
Despite Corona! Ordered on Monday (June 22nd, 2020) in Uppsala, and on Friday (June 26th, 2020), my 14-inch Trionic Walker was at my doorstep. Also, thanks to the excellent logistics from UPS.
In the meantime, I have truly tested the Trionic Walke…
From the neighbor to your own Veloped…
Saw it at my neighbor's house and bought it because I was impressed by every aspect. It looks great, handles well (the brakes and function)—which is difficult to grasp for someone with dementia (in our case), but otherwise the brakes work perfectly. …
A whole new quality of life for my husband with Parkinson's disease…
Last week my husband asked me for a rollator that he had otherwise strictly rejected. On the Internet I quickly came across the company Trionic. The communication with Mr. Kindberg via chat and phone was great. Ordered on Tuesday and assembled on Thu…
Superb product.…
I love my Veloped Sport 14er M. Without it I would struggle to even go out. Yes, they are expensive, but what price do you put on your health? I mostly use it to walk round our town but I have used it in my local wood where it was great. I recent…
Excellent product…
This has been a life-changer for me. I suffer from a back problem, which seriously restricted my walking. Using the Trionic Trek I can comfortably walk about 2 miles. I take the occasional rest using the seat which is a bonus. The design and finish o…
Streets paved with old cobblestones…
My husband had fallen a few times in the last few months, but he still refused to use a rollator. That's why I looked around for a better one than the ones usually offered in German medical shops. I found the Walker and suggested it to my husband. He…
Very good rollator…
Has proven itself in many situations on a wide variety of surfaces.
The large pneumatic tyres give a good driving experience and it is comfortable for the hands.
The only thing we would still miss is a lock when you fold the rollator and want to st…
Rollator Ease…
As I already have a Trionic Veloped Tour for use locally and use it regularly when shopping or for photograpy treks, I wanted something new and smaller for travel. The Rollator Walker 14er is perfect for holding camera equipment, traversing outdoor …
