  • Veloped Sport 14er M…

    I do enjoy my Trionic Veloped. However, I think the seat depth could be improved by making the rear verticals slightly further back (which would probably involve major costs!). Also, I do not find the front wheel combination very helpful and have con…

    I have finally found the perfect wheeled walker! The Trionic Veloped Tour 14er M. It is adjustable to be tall enough for me, which make a nice change, I am 6 foot and in the past walkers have felt too low, what totally blew me away was being able to …

    Due to ongoing health problems, Maurice (as my 12er has been dubbed) and I have not had as many outings as I would have wished but on each occasion, he has not let me down on the rough, uneven ground, whereas my conventional Rollator would balk at th…

    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 …
