“I have a 14″ fusion with hardware in my back and I need a walker to get around. I was frustrated with the comfort of traditional walkers and the limitations of only walking on sidewalks. I wanted to be able to go off-road and experience nature again. The Trionic walker is a miracle gift for me. I was in a wheelchair before my 2nd fusion surgery last March, 2010 and I started to build up my walking ability from that point forward. That is when the traditional walker failed me. With the Trionic I have been continuing to move forward; grass, gravel, dirt, mud and bison trails. I have hiked in Yellowstone off the beaten path, Colorado and of course here in Wisconsin. The reason I am writing is because people ask me about my machine EVERYWHERE; airports, doctors’ waiting rooms, on the trail, etc. I have to say that it is easy for me to talk positively to these folks about Trionic. I have pictures of the different places I have been if you are interested. I am on medical leave right now and in the process of transitioning into permanent disability. I love your product and I like sharing my experiences with other people who are interested in the walker! I am a violinist/orchestral director/teacher for my professional job”

Let us know if you want to talk further! Contact Trionic for my contact information.

Hi Johan and Stefan,

Iceland was great! In the picture I’m about to cross Sfartifoss…

Thank you for all the information on the Trekking-kit and the extra side-bag. It was very helpful! The size of the additional bag is excellent for my camera tri/monopod. So I would like to order the Trek-kit, extra bag and a bottle holder.

May I ask you to send this as soon as possible, because on the 19th of April I go to Spain for a 2-week holiday. I know from experience your service is always quick, but it would be great to use the new accessoires for my photo equipment on my holiday. We will stay in a nature reserve; hiking, birdwatching and of course shooting photos!

I’m sending you a picture of me and my dogs hiking off road on trails for the first time in several years!

The new part arrived yesterday; I put it in myself in about 5 minutes, thanks to your excellent pictorially-accompanied directions. And viola! My Trionic is wonderful again. The new tube assembly works wonderfully and indeed makes putting the front wheel in much easier. I keep my Trionic in the back of my Toyota Prius with the front wheel off, so I am constantly putting it on/taking it off. Thank you again for expediting the replacment part!

I’ve already taken it for a hike again, although it was a short one as I recently fractured a bone in my foot. However, the Trionic makes walking even with this latest injury much easier.

I have been continuing to enjoy my Trionic and I am looking forward to many years of enjoyment with it. I anticipate referring many [more] people to you.

I remain a fan and a happy colleague!

With affection,

North Wales, October 2008:

Hi you all,
Today we set off up the track and then onto the grassy slope. It was great and I was going faster than some of the group who were really slow. My Veloped travelled over tarmac, grass, rock, shale, small rocky bits and bare earth. I hiked all the way up and over Conwy Mountain. I‘d done about 4,5 kms and climbed 200 m. I was delighted! I could never have done this without my Veloped. Even better was the fact that I wasn‘t even tired.

Best regards,
Hilary Ambrose, Southport, England

For 2010 Hilary has planned new adventures. She’ll be back shortly with more tales from her hiking tours.
