Veloped - An Absolute Necessity!

Rating:

What was your concern with this review?

In 2011, I was cycling to the bus station to take a bus into Manchester where I worked. I was hit by a car driven by a 74-year-old man who wasn’t looking for a cyclist (I had right of way!) and he struck me as he turned in front of me. My head struck his windscreen and I was thrown over his car. Luckily it happened in front of a CCTV camera because he would have lied to the police and blamed me. I was badly injured and spent 8 months in two hospitals and a rehabilitation centre.

I could not go back to work and cannot work again as a result of my injuries. A serious head injury meant that my walking was very unsteady and still is. It wasn’t until I found the Veloped online and bought one (the Veloped Tour, I think), that I was able to go out again.

By this time, I had a dog and we began to go out together, once a day, in the mornings, for a walk. I live in the Peak District National Park where there are plenty of hills and slopes. There are no pavements for me to use but I have used the Veloped where I’ve had to go up and down pavements. It is so easy to use when there is no dropped kerb, thanks to the patented double wheel at the front. It certainly makes life easy for me.

I love using my Veloped because it makes walking much easier for me. It has plenty of space for me to carry things like a box of tissues for myself, a water bottle for my dog, binoculars for cuckoo and other bird-spotting, a mosquito net for help with midges, waterproof gloves, etc. I’ve bought rear lights for the Veloped so that I can be seen if a car approaches. I have my front light which lets me be seen by cyclists too. Having a Veloped to use really makes living life better. I would recommend having a Veloped to anyone who needs it.

    I have suffered from peripheral neuropathy for over 5 years, which makes it difficult for me to walk. Indeed, my daughter was appalled to see how unstable I was even with a stick and said that I should get aid with wheels. I tried what was available …

  • My travel walker…

    I bought the Trionic Veloped a few years ago for the outdoor use, specifically to walk my dog over rough terrain. After my dog and I got a bit older (almost 15 and 70 years old), I also bought the Walker 9er to be used indoors and as a 'travel walker…

    I have been meaning to write for some time to thank you for all the help my Veloped gives me - I use it for hanging out the washing and fetching peat from the shed as well as walking on the mostly rough terrain here on the Isle of Barra in the Wester…

  • Lockdown…

    The lock is strong and secure. It took me a little while to use it correctly as it has a very strong wire and it can be a bit stiff to manoeuvre in place. Now I am used to it and I appreciate how safe it keeps my Tourer.…

  • Brilliant walker…

    Can’t believe that this walker has made such a difference to my life. I can walk over uneven ground, cobblestone paths and rough ground without needing to push any harder than on even terrain, thus avoiding painful arms and shoulders. The walker is r…

  • My Veloped makes me safe…

    Great to be able to take brisk walks with my Veloped in the green area close to my neighborhood. To get there, I pass street crossings, where the Veloped smoothly climbs up and down the curbs. Since the Veloped is easy to "fold" and load in the trunk…
