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.

Very pleased with the Veloped Sport; it copes brilliantly with the rough paths and the autumn leaves in the local park.

Being clearly visible is about safety…
The rear lights can be easily seen from a distance and significantly increase safety in the darkness. Time will tell whether the stretchy fastening tape will hold up well in the long term.…
New lease of life…
I am 84, and have a crooked spine as a result of a motor accident five years ago, which means that it is painful for me to hold myself upright. I had not been able to take my daily walk for the last few months, and I had been unable to stand and chat…

I love my veloped because I go out a lot with my dogs, they can sit in it, the two are older and sometimes they don't want to walk anymore, then they can sit in it, I attached a basket with tension straps to the seat, the second dog can sit in it and…

I am very pleased with this product. Walking on uneven surfaces is much easier.…
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…
Genial…
I am completely satisfied with my Veloped. From the first day it felt familiar and increased my ability to move.
I couldn't help but test the Veloped in the most difficult terrain conditions. A very steep narrow forest path with deeply washed-out…
Top quality…
I live in an area with lots of cobblestones big and small. There are also nice paths to walk on, but unfortunately some of them are very rough and with my normal rollator I constantly had arm and neck pain.
The TRIONIC Sport has solved my problem.…

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!
