Hello! How can we help you?

What is the best basic rollator technique?

1. Before you start
The first step is to adjust the height of your Trionic Walker. Let your arms hang freely – adjust the grip bar so that the rubber grips are set at wrist height. Adjust the front wheel according to your choice of walking terrain. For Trionic Walking in city areas or amongst a lot of people, the climbing/easy steering mode is the better choice. If you are heading for uneven roads or off-road, the climbing/suspension mode is the better choice. Always remember to push the seat forward for maximum walking space.

2. Exercising
Walking close to, more or less within, your Trionic Walker keeps your back straight. Try to relax and trust the off-road abilities of your Walker and lift your eyes from the ground. Now you have a much better walking posture, and you can also better enjoy the beautiful scenery. By varying your hand position on the grip bar during your walking session, you avoid static load. Brake slightly while descending in order to prevent the Trionic Walker from rolling away from you.

3. Walking pace
Practice Trionic Walking for periods between 15 minutes and 2 hours at a time. Keep a brisk walking pace and remember that your intensity and heart rate should allow you to hold a conversation. If you lose your breath you are walking too fast, and you should slow down for the best fat-burning and fitness effect. Always take a break and sit down to rest if you suddenly feel increasingly tyred.

Remember to check the tyres for correct air pressure every 3–4 weeks. The recommended air pressure is 1.5–2.0 bar, but if you do a lot of off-road walking, consider lower pressure for increased comfort.

  • Excellent piece of kit…

    I bought the Walker to compliment the Veloped I already own. I use the veloped for fishing and shooting and "rough" walking. The Walker on the other hand I'm using on tarmac and designated walk ways. I find the Walker very stable and with 14" whee…

  • Rollator Walker 12er…

    Good morning, at first I ordered the Walker 14er, but this rollator with the large tires is much too big to be transported in my Opel Mokka. Now I use the Walker 12er and I am very happy with it.…

  • I am extremely happy with my 'Terminator', thank you.…

    As you may remember I needed to adapt it to have forearm rests instead of handles and found the charity organisation 'Remap' here in the UK who were able to take the forearm rests from an old rollator (an indoor Topro) and put them on my lovely new T…

    I usually walk along the road in the dark evenings, so what better idea than to buy these led front lights?…

  • Great health and pleasure benefit…

    Due to an increasing neurological problem, I could only walk about 100 m before having to stop and sit down. On my first outing with the Walker, I could easily do a 400 m distance without the need to stop. I have gradually been able to increase my di…

  • A WONDERFUL PURCHASE…

    In common with one of your other reviewers, I suffer from peripheral neuropathy, resulting in a severe loss of sense of balance. Since the delivery of the Walker 12er several weeks ago my life has improved immensely. I now find that walking, which I …

  • The best walker out there…

    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 …
