Product Review

Is great to drive, but it is sometimes difficult to use

What was your concern with this review?

My father (79 years old) has become severely visually impaired after a stroke and, unfortunately, has a disturbance in the perception on the left half of his body. He is very happy driving the Walker, thanks to the very large tires, and he also likes its elegant look. Although he rarely goes out when there is little light, I like that, thanks to the many reflectors, he is well visible in the dark.

He already had an outdoor model with the Dietz Taima XC, but he had had problems with the wobbly front wheels...

The driving characteristics of the Walker deserve five stars or even more. From my father's point of view, however, I must report that there are potential improvements for users with limitations.

For example, it happened that, while lifting the walker, it folded slightly on itself and the strap between the front wheels also came off. Fortunately, a passer-by was able to give him a hand.

Even using the parking brake is a problem for my father. I must continually re-explain to him how to use the little red lever.

The handles are not completely fixed, so they often tend to move slightly inwards or outwards.

At these points, unfortunately, the Walker lags behind conventional models. There is still room for improvement. A clearly audible click or a signal would help to figure out when the rollator is properly folded and when it is ready to be driven.

  • Mr Lawrence Urquhart…

    I wrote a favourable review about your service and administration. I don’t know if you received it.

    Medical issues have prevented my active use of the product since then but I like the look and feel of the walker so look forward to the Spring !…

  • The Veloped is the best thing I...…

    Veloped is the best thing that could have picked me up! It's quality of life! I can go away with it as usual, at my pace over hill and valley, as I am used to with my dogs. Thanks to the stability and security I have gained, I am relaxed on the walk,…

  • Very satisfied. It works really well!…

    We bought the Veloped for our son. He has problems with balance and endurance as he walks. And we all like to be out in nature. With his new aid, he is much more independent, and much safer on the road. It works really well!…

  • Becoming Independent…

    I bought my Veloped in July 2021 and I have never looked back. Having suffered with a back and balance problem for several years, walking with the Veloped keeps my back straight and I am no longer concerned about my balance as the frame gives me conf…

  • Strongly to recommend.…

    Finally, my husband and I can walk on uneven paths. The Veloped is really worth the money. It's a bit difficult to take it with you in the trunk to go to a doctor’s visit, but we have a small walker for that.

    We don't want to be without our Velope…

  • Super Walker!…

    Dream device! I get everywhere with this Walker. Obstacles are no problem! It is not exactly inexpensive, but I would buy it again.…

  • My husband is completely satisfied and can highly recommend the Waker 12…

    We do a lot of walking in the woods on uneven ground. We have to remove the rear wheels because our boot is small. This is very quick to do. Thanks to all the developers of the Walker.…

  • Perfect solution…

    This Veloped does exactly what it promises. Top quality, easy to handle, quick to (dis)assemble for transport, very safe and suitable for off-road use. I am completely satisfied. Thank you for it!

    Nice greetings,

    Ilona & Hans-Jürgen Gleitsmann…
