Hello! How can we help you?

Do you have a curb assistant?

Walking outside is rarely a journey without obstacles. The obstacles can for instance be grass, pot-holes, roots, gravel, stone-paved streets, cobblestones, snow, or sand. But the hardest obstacles and most frequent might be curbs of different sizes. 

How do you then overcome them all? If you have a rollator with smaller wheels, you have a much bigger problem climbing obstacles. Because the size of the wheels makes a huge difference. Then a low threshold in a doorway might be an obstacle too high to pass. The rollator comes to a full stop and you might risk falling over. 

To overcome the thresholds or curbs, traditional rollators have the option to add a small curb assistant – tilting aid, which is a type lever mounted on the inside of one of the rear wheels. It is a device, which helps you climb obstacles, where you suppose to balance on one foot and with the other one place the foot by the rear wheel and stop the wheel from rolling while you ascend the front wheels over the curb. A balancing act that could be quite dangerous, since there is a risk of falling over. 

We don't offer that solution to our products since we deem them too dangerous to use outdoors. Especially when our Walkers are better curb climbers since they have bigger wheels and the passes thresholds with ease. 

If you like to pass a curb with the Walker that might be too high, yes, the walker comes to those too. But they need to be over 5–6 cm to cause a problem. Then we recommend walking all the way up to the obstacle and brake with both rear wheels while titling the walker backward until the front wheels are above the obstacle. Then loosen the brakes and roll forward while the Rollator tilts back with the wheels on the obstacle. Then continue to walk as you were before. That is safer than standing on one leg trying to engage the titling aid in a risky type of circus number.

Our Veloped rollators have the Trionic Climbing wheel, which climbs curbs up to 13 cm/5 inches with ease. So you can safely walk on your journey without coming to a full stop.

  • Easier, more daily fun…

    They have really thought of the user! Everything is well thought out and with my Veloped, I dare to get out socially and not opt out of some activities. Safer, happier, which also means I need less help from people around me! Highly recommended!…

  • I am very pleased with it.…

    I recently bought a Walker 12er, and after using it for several weeks I can tell you that I am very pleased with it. The walker feels so much more stable than my previous one and is certainly more comfortable to use due to the large wheels with the i…

  • Great product…

    I have the Walker 14er and love it for walking the dog as it goes anywhere. Bought this one to use when I go out shopping, etc. and am so pleased with it as I feel much safer when I use it. I do find it a little bit heavy but thoroughly recommend it…

  • Life-quality…

    With the Veloped, I have gained in Life-quality. It allows me more freedom of movement without joint pain and gives me much more confidence than a conventional walker. I can walk in the woods again, go to the beach and finally go again with my feet i…

  • Walking out is FUN again !!…

    A beautifully designed and engineered product, and being so robust gives so much more confidence in comparison to lesser competitors. After a few months of lockdown, I can now get the exercise I need - and really enjoying it.

    Thank You for such an…

    The pump fits the tyres perfectly and inflates them with minimal effort.

    Folded up, the pump can be stored in any backpack or can be attached directly to the Veloped with the supplied material. In this case, it is not the pump that is attached, b…

  • NOT like an old device…

    I'm extremely happy with the Sport Rollator. I use it for roller skating near our canal, and it works great. I haven't roller skated in 10 years and have the rollator as a safety feature for support.
    And the device doesn't look like a piece of equip…

  • Finally one that does what it should.…

    I now own three rollators. This is my first one from Trionic. The first rollator from another company sounded like clanging metal as I walked along. It also got caught on all the broken pavements where I live and was therefore unstable. The second on…
