I was lucky enough to pick up one of these secondhand and I’m delighted with it, the pneumatic tyres are so welcome as they soak up the road impact on my Arthritic hands and shoulders. I find the two wheels a bit troublesome to change from but mine is an early model things may have changed and the step up feature is also great. I find it easy to make smaller for my car and it’s light and easy to manoeuvre into the back of my hatchback. I can rave on about this for ever, it’s changed my life I can cope with countryside, beach and woodland and can now go on most of the walks with my family! Last but not least the after care service I have received from the company is second to none, honouring the lifetime guarantee!
I tried this one. It's really great to go on a track with obstacles, but it is not easy to make it turn as you want because of these 2 huge wheels in front. Probably with only 1 wheel would be easier to turn. AND it is terrible in "inside" spaces like buildings, office, appartment and similar. I would say that this one only for outside active walking. It means it's necessary to have another one for everyday walking. At least for me.
I was OT, how do older ppl get this up hills or up several steps to get in/out of the house? Also, what if you have to walk to shopping? Can you get it around inside shops?
Now if it could be altered so that it was a lot like a kids riding toy with pedals it would help someone like me. I can stand and walk a little but it is agonizing to do so. I need to sit a LOT and sitting in something I could also pedal might be the thing. I need something too I might be able to adapt to marching in a band.
I like everything about this but I would like to see some extendable handlebars so that a tall person, such as my Dad was with his long leg stride, would be able to walk and not have to crouch over it to avoid hitting the seat or other cross pieces in front of the forward leg movement.
I have to agree, the handlebars do extend on this but not enough, I am about to suggest this too the designer, I think this is a one man company I have corresponded with him on serveral issues and he’s always been really helpful
Was hoping to hear stats on weight and height. Width. How much it weighs is particularly important for people that need to put it into a vehicle. I hope they come out with one that has wheels that do not need air.
I’d check that out further if I were you; I have a Renault Megan and it fits into mine with space, what she did not show on the video is that all the wheels come off fairly easily and, folded down, the main frame is quite small, I wouldn’t be without mine now it has liberated me, changed my life!

@@peterraikman I would like to say that its incomparable to conventional rollators with hard plastic wheels. The tires have puncture protection but they're not puncture proof. There's always a risk of getting a flat but its not common at all.
@@rogersmoot6194 I decided to buy one of these three years and it has been excellent allowing me to go for walks everyday I don't know what I would have done without it however I have to say that I do struggle getting it in and out of the car it is possible to to do this but you need to lower the arms before you try and put it in anywhere which means that you must make sure that it is well the best thing to do is to make sure that the arms are right down at the bottom before you try to lift them up otherwise they will stick and nothing you do will make them move.
I found it very easy to use on wet sand, a little sticky on the dry stuff but not impossible. It glides over small rocks and shingle, there is just no comparison to any other walkers this is the Rolls Royce of walkers.
crabby golfer I Yes the rolleez are definitely designed for the sand, I guess it’s six of one and half a dozen of another, the Trionic isn’t designed for soft sand but it does cope with rocky outcrops and pebbles though.
You lost me on the price! But....if a rich uncle passes and leaves me his fortune, I'll have one if the handles go high enough, maybe in several colors.
At 2:47 she stands in walking position with her hands on the bar and there is the very same problem as with all the others we've checked out: It forces you into a hunched--over pushing position because your legs can't move forward, so you'll bend over! All wheeled walkers should have a simple option to flip the seat up so the user can actually walk _inside_ the walker, not behind it. At 7:13 you can see how far behind the walker she's walking and how far she needs to stretch her arms -- but a person with back problems can not walk in that position! So unless you're young and healthy, don't waste your money on such a bad design.
Bocephus Easterling III actually if you check the website the fabric seat slides forward to allow a natural posture walking gait. She just did not show that in her video.
They have Velopeds to fit people to 6' 9"/ The difference is in the diameter of the wheels. The actual stated range or the 12 model is 4' 11" to 6'. The 14 stated range is 6'1" to 6' 9" so, there are Velopeds for 6' footers+. www.trionic.com/en/
Karen Koch there’s always a catch 22. Getting on ‘bus or train would open life and travel much more but these obstacles seem to still be in place in society
@@sunshinerythym finding correct aids is so hot and miss. Already on my 5th walker, but live in hopes they improve designs. Scandinavian models seem to lead the way. happy walking for you 🙂
THey are about $1200-$1300 depending on the style. Here's a link. We have a demo unit we are selling for $1000. It's never been used for anything but tradeshows.
This looks like too much work. All elderly or physically compromised people I know would be very frustrated by the size (especially as not a bariatric), tyres that can get a puncture and the fiddly mucking around for setting it up. Yank and clip and pull and slid etc etc. If you only set it up once and went maybe but to put in your car.
You're right it isn't for the elderly. It's for active people who want to go in the woods, through the fields and on the beach but need a walker. This walker is built for fun.
This is really designed for those of us lucky enough to be reasonably fit and active even if debilitated by physical problems, I agree it is a challenge but it’s worth it for me for the freedom I get.....
Capri Dragon I have to say I am both elderly and have chronic arthritis, I admit it is a little bulky to manoeuvre but it’s also light I find if I life the front wheels onto the back of my car and just push the rest travels into the car easily. It’s not perfect but it does expand the world for people like me so I find it’s well worth the effort.
Very nice, however for ~$1400.00, I'll give it a miss. There are many good devices on Amazon for ~$200.00 just as useful. I bought 3 different ones for under $400.00.
No thanks, I'll pass on this one. Way to complicated for my taste, with severe arthritis i dont see myself getting much of a benefit from this type of walker. I will stick with my traditional rollator, folds up nicely, easy to put in and out of car. I have no trouble going over our gravel driveway and didn't break the bank to buy it.
