Veloped - An Absolute Necessity!

Rating:

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.

  • Fantastic product!…

    The Veloped Tour is the Rolls Royce of rollators (infact it isn't correct to call it a rollator-its so much more) I thought long and hard about making this purchase as it isn't cheap but am so glad that I decided to buy it. For someone like me who ha…

  • I have had my Trionic Veloped for two years now and I am very satisfied …

    It is easy to manoeuvre, stable, holds a lot and it looks cool. I have tried other walkers with puncture-free tires, but I get muscle pain in my arms from them. I do not get that with the air tires of the Veloped. The rollator works great in the wood…

  • Great Mobility Aid…

    Has allowed me to walk in a fashion that increases my stride and I am quickly getting in better physical condition. I can walk in a more upright position which doesn't irritate my back like a previous walker did. It is amazing how the climbing tire i…

    After our 86-year-old mother's walking radius decreased due to unsteady gait, and she could only move around outside the home with an escort, she considered – albeit very ambivalently – a mobility aid. A "regular" walker was out of the question for h…

  • A big piece of extra freedom…

    I am very satisfied with the Veloped Trek!
    My shoulders and arms, which used to get all the shocks from every unevenness of the ground with a quite good but common rollator, could now relax. It is also very smooth, and walking is no longer so strenu…

  • The latest 5 star walker…

    The Trionic 12er is a very stylish and sturdy successor for my husband's previous walker. It looks weightier in design than previous models but is in fact unbelievably light in handling.

    Its pneumatic tyres provide a very smooth walk and allow ea…
