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.

Johan Kuikka

Co-founder · Manufacturing & production

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

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.

Recenzije proizvoda    

  • Briljantan proizvod…

    Bilo je pravo olakšanje izaći na selo i ponovno biti aktivan. Lako se nosi s različitim terenima, a potpora koju pruža omogućuje mi da lako hodam uspravno, za razliku od prije kada sam mogao prijeći samo vrlo kratke udaljenosti bez potrebe da negdje …

  • Izvrsna pomoć pri mobilnosti…

    Omogućilo mi je da hodam na način koji povećava moj korak i brzo se dovodim u bolju fizičku kondiciju. Mogu hodati u uspravnijem položaju koji mi ne iritira leđa kao prethodni hodalac. Nevjerojatno je kako se guma za penjanje u prednjim prostorijama …

  • Veloped 14er je sada moj suputnik na putovanjima…

    Veloped 14er je stigao danas poslijepodne! Odmah sam trenirao cirkulaciju na izletu od 2 km; podešavanje visine gornje ručke savršeno odgovara mojim potrebama. Izvrsna dokumentacija na web stranici uvelike je olakšala narudžbu.

    Imam 92 godine i ja…

  • Ova hodalica mi je vratila život……

    Imam jako lošu ravnotežu, a moja hodalica s kotačima od 12 inča daje mi odličan osjećaj stabilnosti. Također treniram zlatnog retrivera i ova hodalica mi je olakšala hodanje po travi s njom. Druga stvar je što ju je puno lakše podići u auto jer je la…

  • prekrasan pribor, šteta što ga nisam mogao iskoristiti.…

    Nisam mogao promijeniti smjer i rikvercirati iz svog (uskog) hodnika jer su kotači istovremeno dodirivali oba zida.…

  • NAJBOLJI…

    Sve u svemu odličan/fantastičan uređaj. Jednostavan za korištenje, kreće se po trgovinama itd. s vrlo dobrim manevriranjem. Sklapa se u mali komad. Vrlo sam zadovoljan. Smatram da je prilično dobar i za terensku vožnju.

    Također imam Trionic Velope…

  • Walker navlaka za kišu…

    Neophodan komad potreban za održavanje predmeta u košari suhima kada je to potrebno.…

  • Konačno stabilan rollator…

    Konačno stabilan rollator koji je dovoljno velik, ne zaglavljuje se svugdje i ima dobre kočnice. Moj muž je olakšan i uživa u sigurnijem hodanju s njim. Nažalost, nekoliko je puta pao s prethodnim standardnim rollatorima, npr. zaglavio se u jarku. To…

  • Čudesno…

    Bio sam pomalo skeptičan oko trošenja toliko novca, ali kako kažu, dobiješ ono što platiš.
    Pao sam nekoliko puta s malim kolicima na kotačima koja su se zaglavila u šljunku i srušila me s ručki.
    Ne mogu zamisliti da će se to sada dogoditi. Bez prob…
