What was your concern with this review?
I purchased my Veloped 14er in May and have found it to be a great product. The shipping was quick, the packaging sturdy and protective, and the Veloped came ready to go! I named her Vera.
Since the first day, the Veloped has transformed my life. I have a serious spinal condition that causes weakness in my legs and great difficulty in walking and Vera has helped me more than I imagined she could.
I didn’t want to look like an “old lady”, all hunched over with a typical walker – the Veloped encourages upright posture and feels supportive as you can push the seat forward over the basket and be “inside” the walking frame. This allows me to walk for fitness again, and to walk my dogs. A number of people have stopped me to say what an ingenious “rollator” it is and admire its quality and good looks.
I recently visited my daughter in Curaçao – the off-road walking conditions there are challenging – and the Veloped saw me through the walks we took with her three dogs. I was also able to go shopping and sightseeing for much longer periods of time than I have for some years, thanks to Vera’s support.
Travelling with Vera was a bit challenging but if everything is planned ahead, it’s doable. When flying, have the Veloped or its storage bag handle tagged at check-in and then fold it at the aircraft door for staff to put into the hold. You can ask for it to be tagged to be brought to the door of the aircraft at the end of the flight. I had a custom bag made for it to prevent damage (note: airlines do not care about fragile stickers so a custom bag is recommended – I suppose wrapping it in bubble wrap would protect it, too, but would be awkward to do at the aircraft door) and I spent a day before I left teaching myself how to fold the Veloped down and secure it in the said bag in under 4 minutes. This proved invaluable as I had 6 flights to take. If you are traveling alone and you would have trouble lifting 12 kilos, I would suggest booking assistance. Though I can do it myself, it was helpful to have ground staff assisting me with bagging the Veloped for every flight.
I can remove the front climbing wheel and place Vera into the back seat or rear space of our car without any trouble. If your car is very small, it might not be as easy, so check the dimensions before ordering.
I am grateful for being able to walk on uneven ground again, and am rebuilding my walking fitness – usually accompanied by my dogs.
Thanks to the team at Trionic!
A Winner!…
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 …

I am currently mostly housebound due to recovering from broken ankle and ribs! Also the recent weather has not helped as it has been wet and at times icy!
I have made about six or seven short walks from the house to local to our local roadway, wea…
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…
Veloped Jakt…
We are very grateful to the inventor of the Veloped Jakt!
As a farmer, I now also have the opportunity to look after our pastures and deal with the farm
and cope with the work!
Many thanks to those who built this model for rough terrain!!!!!!!!!!!…
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…
