I am 68 years old and was a long-distance walker/hiker/backpacker until last Fall 2019, when on a 100 mile/161 kilometer hike, my right hip went out. Walking was painful and difficult. I could barely walk a block. Covid-19 came and treatments became limited or non-existent.
Longing to walk again in town and on mountain trails, I discovered the all-terrain Veloped Trek online. It arrived three weeks ago. It was simple to attach the wheels. Amazingly the Veloped Trek takes just enough pressure off my hip to begin walking again. I have been walking in town on a variety of surfaces: smooth sidewalks and uneven sidewalks; streets with cracks, bumps, and holes; gravel and small rocks; grass and dirt; and up and down curbs, and I have slowly increased distances. Today I walked 2 miles/3.2 kilometers. This is the perfect remedy for my hip. I especially like how it allows me to walk standing straight, not bent over, and the basket and gear are perfect for future picnics and further hikes.
Initially, two repairable problems presented themselves. I had two flat tires within the first week due to goathead stickers which are common here in the desert. This was easily fixed with the popular green goop used in bicycle tires. All four tires received the treatment and I have had no further flats. Also, I found the seat uncomfortable. This problem was resolved by partially inflating a long, rectangular, inflatable camping pillow/cushion, folding it into thirds and placing it in between the two seat layers. It is a soft seat now. It was an easy solution.
Overall, I am pleased with the Veloped Trek. It is sturdy and sporty-looking, and it has brought the joy of walking back into my life. Thanks to Oshin and Stefan who kindly assisted me as I made my purchase. The Veloped Trek is the best ever. Joyce, Alamogordo, New Mexico

The best outdoor rollator on the market…
The admittedly high expectations of the Veloped (see previous reviews) were easily fulfilled. No other rollator I know is as stable, safe and reliable as the Veloped and so qualified for use in the countryside, woods and forests.
However, the high s…
The Veloped is a great invention...…
The Veloped is a great invention and fills the gap that other conventional rollators cannot. The large smooth-running wheels and the twin wheel in the front make the ride wonderfully easy and provide support and, most importantly, allow you to walk m…

I purchased a Veloped Trek with 14-inch wheels. The delivery was prompt and it was well-packed. The assembly was simple. I have used the Veloped on different surfaces: grass, rough tracks, and paths through a wood. I have a balance problem and it has…
Worth Every Penny - Best "Walker" on the Market…
I had been looking for a walker with larger, rubber tube tires forever it seemed. The small, hard, plastic tires on all walkers are only good for very short distances on even surfaces. Then I saw this product and I chatted and spoke to the company …
A very good back support…
Thanks to the back support, you sit very comfortably on the Walker.…
Best friend…
I miss my super strong legs, being able to walk many kilometers in forest terrain without getting tired. Being able to go for long, long walks with my dog. Being able to walk with long strides and enjoy nature.
I will never walk that fast again, but…
