Product Review

Good product, but be careful downhill

What was your concern with this review?

This is an excellent rollator for mobility outdoors. I am an MND sufferer who struggles for balance while walking. Before using this product, I normally relied on hiking sticks when venturing outdoors. This rollator has given me more confidence when on long walks in varying terrain, and has also given my wife more relief in not having to always be by my side to ensure I don't fall!

The product is very easy to assemble and to disassemble, and therefore to transport. I was also able to carry it overseas on a flight to Australia recently. I purchased a purpose-made bag in which the disassembled rollator could be easily kept in the hold.

If I have one criticism, it is that when going downhill, the rollator's weight and momentum means that it sometimes gets away from me, so that I have to brake and my feet had to catch up with it on several occasions. Maybe a built-in slowing anti-gravity mechanism could be attached in future designs?

But overall, this is a super product to help liberate mobility compromised people and enable them to live a healthy life outdoors!

  • Fantastic product!…

    I'm very unsteady on my feet, but thanks to the Veloped Trek 14er M, walks in the woods are possible again and they're really fun. My dog is also thrilled that she can now explore the woods, which is her favourite activity. We are both delighted.

  • 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…

  • Both Trionic buys have been absolute godsends.…

    Just a few words of praise for my Trionic Walker.

    I fell Friday week ago and broke my hip. I am 67 and have Post Polio Syndrome. I own both Walker and Veloped but following surgery and half hip replacement my Walker has really come into its own. M…

  • It shines on all Terrains…

    Despite Corona! Ordered on Monday (June 22nd, 2020) in Uppsala, and on Friday (June 26th, 2020), my 14-inch Trionic Walker was at my doorstep. Also, thanks to the excellent logistics from UPS.

    In the meantime, I have truly tested the Trionic Walke…

  • The Veloped Has Changed My Life - Yippee!…

    My bicycle accident, four years ago, left me with such poor balance, that I struggled to walk with a stick. In fact, I found myself very reluctant to walk even short distances. There is the standard red rollator, something many elderly people have, b…

    I have waited to write this review as i wanted to experience my husband using it for a few weeks. We are absolutely delighted with it. my husband, once an active even hyperactive runner, cyclist and mountain climber is now quite disabled. he was unab…

  • Love it!…

    I already own a Veloped that I bought second-hand and use daily at our local country park so know how good the quality is and how useful they are. I wanted a smaller walker that would fit in the footwell of the car with the seat flipped up so I can t…

  • Recommended…

    My used Veloped has a non-original wheel. This wheel has a broken valve. I ordered an original tube and replaced it myself. I've never done that before; I'm 68 years old, and I did it alone. I was very proud of myself.…

  • Overall, I am satisfied.…

    I am 86-year-old and weigh 58 kg.
    The device looks good (to be envious), is well thought out and easy to assemble. What struck me:
    The heavy strain on the arm muscles
    - on uneven forest paths,
    - on inclines (effort needed to push uphill and to h…
