What was your concern with this review?
I thought for a long time about buying a Veloped and I decided to take the risk! I wanted it for my vacation in Spain: dry, rocky, stony, and mountainous terrain. Total fiasco! It is not suitable for all terrains as advertised. Difficulty: unable to pass on wet sand and gravel. Narrow paths, footbridges and bridges are impassable because the Veloped is too wide. Going up, down the stairs and overcoming the curbs is impossible, even pushing a little doesn't help. In the mountains, with a side slope, the Veloped is difficult to steer: the front wheels drift and it takes a lot of strength and effort to stay on track and to avoid ending up in the ditch. Driving both front wheels is extremely difficult because the steering is too hard and therefore impossible. I am not very strong physically and I am severely disabled, I was hoping for more relief, instead I reach my physical limits.
The handlebar of the Veloped is too short, not even a dog leash or a shopping bag can be hung on it. The basket is also too small!
Engaging the parking brake is very cumbersome, in fact you need both hands. In the mountains: hold the walker, hold the dog's leash, then put on the brakes too!
Transportation: it is too big for a normal car, then you no longer have space for your vacation suitcases. Added to this is the constant assembly and disassembly of the Veloped, which is very difficult to follow without a person to assist you!
Suitable for flat countryside, but you won't need it there: I have a Topro outdoor walker, which isn't bad either.
Overall, I am very disappointed and sadly I would not buy it back as my wishes remained unfulfilled. It's really a shame!!
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…

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…

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…
