What was your concern with this review?
I'm a 62-year-old woman from the Netherlands and last year I suffered a CVA, which caused my right side to be permanently unusable. So since then, I have been stuck in a wheelchair.
During the last year, I went through therapy to try and recover some use/movement of my right arm and leg. During the therapy, I met a fellow patient who had a lot of benefits from a Trionic Veloped to help him walk again.
As it turns out, the Trionic Veloped is the only walker you can use with one hand.
Its all-terrain wheels make it possible to walk everywhere – on uneven pavement, curbs, and cobbles and get by with limited ability in one of the legs.
I asked for information directly from Stephan at Trionic, and he answered all my questions very kindly and directly over both mail and telephone. We were able to put together a Veloped Tour for me to try.
It arrived duly, perfectly packed, and turned out to be easy for me to assemble.
Then I went to work!
Over the past two months having worked with the Veloped, which I had named 'Thomas' (the tank engine), I can honestly say it has changed my world. From being someone in a wheelchair to someone who stands and engages with other people on their eye level again.
The Veloped has me walking upright again!
For shopping, a doctor's appointment, or just to go for a walk with friends for fun! In shopping centres, a park or sightseeing. I can take it into restaurants and theatres easily.
It will take from work from you, as you will have to practice on the Veloped daily, but you will find improvements in your capabilities daily.
For anyone living in the Netherlands, who wants to know and has one-sided paraplegia, I would be happy to share experiences. I am sure Stefan at Trionic can put us in contact.
Walker - from Sweden…
The Veloped Sport M 14er arrived in Travermünde on the Baltic Sea in early March 2021.
It enriched my life. By this I mean that I can walk again. I am an 80-year-old woman, and I would have liked to still be active and always around.
Thanks to th…
A well-designed device…
I can handle the rollator very well.
Suggestion for improvement:
A cover with a zipper for the basket so that the items taken along and after shopping, for example, are not visible.
And for the locking screws, an Allen key would be more practica…
Free with the Veloped…
Really! Finally, I can start walking again with my partner. The security that the Veloped gives me allows me to go to the beach and the lawns when I’m on vacation. At home, we walk along the river or in the forest. Enjoying nature together without he…
My new sense of balance…
My father-in-law is 86 years young and has visual and balance problems. When he walks (like a penguin), with his legs apart and with splayed arms, he has to concentrate very hard on his balance, which makes him so fatigued that he starts to falter af…
So, so happy…
I am so happy with my veloped, it's made walking so much easier. I enjoy being in the countryside , in the woods and tracks. With the usual walker with four corner wheels I found it difficult with stones and roots and branches but the veloped just gl…

I am so pleased with my Walker. I have used it every single day as I cannot walk without its help! Before I struggled along with two sticks.
Me and Louis (my beautiful whippet) go out twice every day on our walks with your wonderful product.
