What was your concern with this review?
I have a rare neurological condition Hereditary Spastic Paresis which causes muscle stiffness, balance issues, and consequently mobility problems. I have used walking poles for the last couple of years but when I walk I no longer enjoy my surroundings as I am so busy looking at the ground and concentrating so I don't fall. I thought long and hard about buying a walker as it felt like giving in but I was equally fed up of hanging off my husband or treating a walk like a battle to stay upright rather than an enjoyable experience. After much research, I came across the Veloped and ordered it in July.
I can honestly say it has changed my life, I am learning to enjoy my walks and not stare at the ground constantly. I am getting used to steering it, I prefer 2 wheels down as it feels more stable and there is a definite knack to turning it in that mode, but the more I use it the better I get.
I am now walking every day and on the 8th of Oct, I start a 100-mile walking challenge to be completed in 4 weeks for MND research. I need to walk 3.2 miles every day over that period to reach my target which will be hard, I would never have considered this without my Veloped. I seriously cannot recommend the Veloped enough, I've got all the gadgets for it and love it. It has definitely been a big investment but worth every penny, life-changing in such a good way.

Finally…
The Veloped allows me to go out again.
It is stable and has maximum off-road mobility. Very important for me is the possibility to rest now and then.
I would definitely buy it again.
The cane holder is very practical.…

Very well made, easy to use.
Add on weights on the rear maybe a good idea, sometimes too easy to move with brakes on.…

Outstanding customer service. I contacted the company as a patient of mine had broken her walker. Johan was so helpful, worked out what needed to be replaced and sent the replacement free of charge. Thank you

Superb Machine…
Fed up with supplied walker I invested in the Veloped to have better stability and easier movement over uneven ground. Also require it for fishing trips (fly-fishing on rivers) where I can take over rough ground. It allows me to get more exercise too…
Technic of folding and holding…
I have to go through three tight doors to come into my apartment. To keep the Veloped folded, I am holding it together with a small bungee cord. Is there a better idea?
At the locker, the small cover is sadly not holding and slides always to the s…
