What was your concern with this review?
My Rolls Royce – a.k.a. Walker 12 – and me have now together undergone the ultimate test, namely the Stockholm winter 2018-2019 with snow plowing à la Stockholm municipality.
The sidewalks and walkways have either been covered in either 10 centimeters of snow slush or ice rink-style ice with caked-in tennis balls. Pedestrians have generally preferred walking in the actual streets to be able to get around, or clamped onto the building walls for support.
But not us! We have been able to navigate the sidewalks without any problems. The mobility in the cross leads to constant ground contact with all four wheels and adding the width of the Rolls to that, there has been no risk whatsoever of slipping or falling down.
We met a fellow sister among us walker-users, in a parking lot in the wet snow. She was dragging her walker, dragging because the wet snow had built up in front of the brake clamps and made it impossible for the wheels to rotate. Thankfully, the Walker 12 has disc brakes, so anything like that could never happen. The brakes always work in all conditions.
With the dogs in tow, I have walked along Lidingöloppet – a track in Lidingö – in loose and trampled snow. It works, even though it's strenuous, but would be completely impossible with another walker. The fact that there are ball bearings on the hubs and that the wheels are relatively big is probably part of the secret. The width of the walker is probably also a help.
If I could wish for anything, it would be a bigger loading space, but one can't have everything. I have acquired a roomy sport bag which fits the size of the seat perfectly, and I can keep it there fully packed when I walk, and when I need to sit, I just lift it off. With a strap around it, it holds steady.
I am more than happy with my purchase of Walker 12. It's a lot of money, but it's not the same thing as being expensive. If I keep another 10 years – and the Rolls also keeps that long without needing repairs – it will have cost me 83 SEK a month. I am so happy that I found and had the chance of getting it.
Excellent Walker…
This walker really does work exceptionally well. Very pleased with it. It lives in the back of our SUV and is used any time Ann has to walk more than a short distance.
It doubles up as a seat with the right height to get in and out of as opposed…

The people at Veloped have been patient, kind and thorough throughout the process of deciding which one to buy and then starting to use it. I cannot rate them highly enough! And the machine is excellent. No adverse comments at all; just what I wanted…
Perfect aid for rehab…
First impression: very sturdy private jet construction handsomely finished. Frame does not wiggle and feels very rigid. My only questionmark is that the wheels are not made of metal but kinda plastic. The hub caps loosen easily, need some superglue. …

Good products, long life, sturdy and durable. Good design features.…

We are delighted with the 12er S Walker. Well designed and beautifully made. The 4 wheels with linked steering give great stability yet have good maneuverability. We originally intended to buy the 14er with even bigger wheels as our drive has some de…
Remarkable...…
Sturdy, beautiful, simple to "assemble" (just attach the wheels) and a pleasure to use; enables me to walk my dog endlessly, whether on city streets or down country lanes, and even on the beach, in spite of the arthritis that has limited much of my d…
