Made for Walking

The people behind Trionic.

A small Swedish team with a big footprint. Two of us invented the Veloped at engineering school twenty years ago — and we still build every rollator the same way: hands on, opinionated, and obsessed with where the product can take you.

The team

Three people, one product family.

Stefan Kindberg

Johan's co-inventor and partner, met at KTH. Together they developed and patented the climbing wheel at the heart of the Veloped. Stefan owns manufacturing and production — and through the company's hardest years, kept engineering and relocating the build until it worked. He now works remotely from the French Alps.

How we work

Small team, clear lanes.

Twenty years in, the division of labour is simple and deliberate — one side owns how it's made, the other owns how it reaches you.

Made right

Stefan owns manufacturing and production. The product is assembled in a contracted factory and finished — textile, brakes and grips — in Uppsala, so quality is checked close to home before it ships.

Sold direct

Johan owns design, marketing and sales. We sell directly to the people who use our rollators — so real feedback, reviews and thank-you letters shape what we build next. Every photo we publish is a real user.

"Had I known how much work it would be, I might have chosen something else — but I regret nothing."
— Johan Kuikka, co-founder
Made for Walking

The whole story behind the team.

From a seven-week summer studio to a near-death business crisis and a comeback — read how these three came to build the Veloped.

  • Walker 14 Simply great…

    After 10 years on a Veloped, I have now switched to the Walker. It's easier to transport in the car. As expected, it was a very good decision, I can go anywhere with it, whether on cobblestones, fields or forest paths, it's pure joy! I'll still be u…

  • Trionic Veloped…

    This all-terrain walker allows me to walk, which I hadn't thought possible for a long time. At the turn of the year, I tested it extensively on the North Sea island of Baltrum, and I'm thrilled. Whether it's a hike on the beach or a photographic bird…

  • The Veloped is the best thing I...…

    Veloped is the best thing that could have picked me up! It's quality of life! I can go away with it as usual, at my pace over hill and valley, as I am used to with my dogs. Thanks to the stability and security I have gained, I am relaxed on the walk,…

  • Very good quality…

    Expensive but worth the quality of life it brings. As opposed to an ordinary walker. The first day I walked 5 miles around an indoor shopping mall. I was tired at the end of it. But something I could never have done before. I have used it on rough gr…

  • Great experience all the way around!…

    I've taken my trek miles on the desert and it'll go anywhere. The training is bringing me to the point where I can walk without it. Even when I had flats from goathead thorns--the bane of all OTR cyclists--they were easily fixed at a bike store. Trio…

  • Perfect solution…

    This Veloped does exactly what it promises. Top quality, easy to handle, quick to (dis)assemble for transport, very safe and suitable for off-road use. I am completely satisfied. Thank you for it!

    Nice greetings,

    Ilona & Hans-Jürgen Gleitsmann…

    From my first online chat to taking my Veloped Trek outside the Team at Trionic have been excellent. The support and guidance given; the speed of responses; and the delivery of the Trek make me wish all Companies would take lessons!

  • Walker…

    Beautiful walker. It runs very smoothly, and it is fantastic for walking. I can recommend this device any time. I would say that every part is worth its price. The only thing that bothers me is that the cork handles are always sticky to the touch. Wh…
