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

Rating:

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.

    I'm glad I discovered the Veloped Sport. I knew I was going to love it the first 6 meters I tried it. We have a front drive of gravel. My older traditional rollator just could not be used in the loose gravel, the Veloped was no problem.

    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…

    It is brilliant. I am the envy of everyone who sees it. I broke two of the other types before getting the Trionic. It gives me the confidence to get out and live the life I wanted to. Thanks.…
