What was your concern with this review?
I have decided to give myself some time before leaving a review, as I wanted to really road test it so I could be thorough.
I have had this item for about a month now & have used it in different environments. First though, getting this into my car;
I have the 12" wheels, which are much bigger than my previous rollators wheels, the fold is also different. I have a VW Golf SV & tbh, I was worried I'd never get it in the boot. I have managed but I've not used the parcel shelf since using the walker as I can't get both in at the same time. So be aware of the size of you have a small boot.
This is incredible on grass & uneven surfaces. I hardly notice I'm pushing it on grass, it just glides along effortlessly. I go to a park with my children & our dog, so walking on grass is the norm there. There are lots of dips & bumps but this walker just glides over them with ease. I barely noticed there were dips & bumps it's so smooth. On cobbles it's not quite so smooth but it is far far smoother than a traditional rollator, you're not shaken to your core, which is good. You don't get jerked around or bone rattled, which is also good. This is handy as I live in an area that has cobbled streets to navigate.
I wanted to test the walker on sand & as my sister was visiting, we decided to take her to the beach. This is far superior to a traditional rollator on sand. I was able to get right down to the shore line. The only thing it couldn't tackle was very loose soft sand, he wheels just dug in & I couldn't move it. My husband wondered if you did broader wheels? It would be good if you did, even if it's just the front wheels.
All in all, I really do enjoy this rollator. It's comfortable to sit on, it's smooth & effortless to move. It's very sturdy, which is something I really appreciate, because I have a risk of falling, I can steady myself with this, with just one hand on the walker, which I fine incredibly reassuring. I am very pleased to have purchased this. My only issues are, the break lock is difficult to use if you have weak wrists. I sometimes struggle as I have hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome & some days my fingers & hands are too weak & hypermobile to get the break on. The other is the colour...why does the small only come in red? I would love it in green. Also, why isn't there a strap to keep it in its folded position? That would be handy.
Is it worth the money? Yes. Absolutely. For quality, stability, manoeuvrability, style, weight...all of that is worth the money.
Finally a safe companion…
Now that I have been able to walk without difficulties with my walker for two months, I would like to thank you once again for this great invention. People keep being amazed and ask me about my walking aid and I can only recommend it. Interested peop…

The Trionic Veloped Rollator changed my life. I thought I would never be able to take walks again, but the Trionic changed that. Not only can I go on long walks, but I am able to hike many of the mountain trails that I love. I'm not saying I can go r…
Trionic for security and fun times.…
We bought both the 12” & 9” Walkers, for walks outside and another for visits to doctors' offices, restaurants, etc. Both are great with exceptional stability. You do not need two, but it is a luxury to have them. One for walks outside on all surface…

I have tried the conventional walkers, but none of them compares to the Trionic Walker. This is by far the best in the market; glides over all terrains with the greatest of ease. I would and have recommended this item to all my friends. Thank you so …

My Trionic has changed my life.
I love the outdoors, and a recent holiday to Dorset meant that i could walk places with my partner that I've not been able to access in years, because of my arthritis, and other walkers were not up to the job. The …
Great…
Keeps the walker clean and tidy. My husband refuses to use it so at least I know it is out of the way and not gathering too much dust. Probably use it myself one day…
All my expectations were met…
The Veloped was delivered in a short time. The handling of the Veloped is self-explanatory and very simple. I am thrilled at how quickly I was able to get moving outside again! In the end, the walks were torturous and now they are fun again. The Velo…
Walker 14, the more autonomy…
My husband has serious balance problems due to a progressive neuropathy, walking with a cane is too hesitant to take walks, the Walker 14 from Trionic solved this problem because it also allows to take stony and grassy paths. Even if the price is hig…
My Veloped Trek is a Life Saver…
My Veloped Trek arrived yesterday. I couldn’t wait to try it out. Managed a good walk down to our village, up and down kerbs no problem at all. I have not been able to do that walk without severe pain for a few years. I feel liberated and can’t wait …
