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 satisfied…
I already had the previous model, which lasted more than 10 years and was used constantly.
The new one is just as perfect for me and allows me to go for walks with my dog as well as work.…
Very good choice for a disabled girl, almost 9 years old...!…
We bought the Trionic Veloped to our daughter. She is nine years old this summer so Veloped is not really suited for her size yet. But, we still think it works very well in terrain and that was exactly what we were searching, for such a long time!

This walker has given me my life back……
I have really bad balance and my walker with 12” wheels gives me a great feeling of stability. I also obedience train a golden retriever and this walker has made it easier to walk on grass with her. The other thing it is so much easier due to its lig…
Works perfectly…
The Veloped bottle holder is easy to mount. All bottles and cans fit in it. I've already had up to 0.75 l bottles in it. A small thermos flask also works. You don't need any special bottles.…
I went to the seaside with my Veloped…
I went to the seaside for the first time with my Veloped in Texel. With the Veloped I was able to walk on the beach in the deep sand, which would not have been even contemplated with other devices. It was tiring, but doable. I was also able to get ve…

Great, our Veloped Trek :-)❣️…
It was shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition!
It's very stable/robust and we feel completely safe with it when we go walking on uneven (forest) trails.
It's not cheap, but if you're looking for a really stable rollator, I can only reco…
Trionic Walker…
We are delighted with the 12er S Walker. Well designed and beautifully made. The 4 wheels with linked steering give great stability yet have good maneuverability. We originally intended to buy the 14er with even bigger wheels as our drive has some de…
