What was your concern with this review?

The Veloped works great as a carrying aid when shopping and you have heavy groceries to bring home. In the store you don't need a shopping trolley; you just grab a basket and place it on the seat for the groceries, pay in the register and it carries it all home. There, the Veloped is a very handy and a great aid. However, we don't think it's fully functional as a walker for an elderly person.

It can feel wobbly since it doesn't have a wheel in each ""corner"", and it gets heavy when pushing uphill. Furthermore, we've tested the off-road driving, with all the wheels on the ground. Then turning gets difficult, and driving gets heavy for one who doesn't have so much own force to steer. The final verdict is that tie Veloped is best suited for someone who still has some balance and strength left.

All in all an excellent carrying aid for me who is in my 50's and has back issues and difficulties with heavy carrying, but not of any interest for my 95-year-old mother, who for the above-mentioned reasons prefers her regular walker.

  • Brilliant!…

    I have MND and walking has become more difficult - mainly due to the worry of tripping and balance. Since I have had the walker, I have been able to enjoy going for walks again and can walk much faster with the walker for support. The walker is so …

  • Don't think about it, get it.…

    I have used the Tour now for a couple of weeks. Am absolutely amazed at the difference it makes to walking. Have been using a standard 4-wheel walker and walking was very limited. After about a hundred yards or so the pain in my back was such that I …

  • Veloped Tour ;-)…

    I would just like to say what a life changer this Veloped has been for me. Having been diagnosed with spinal cerebellum Ataxia type 6 a few years ago, I now have very little balance.

    I can now walk independently using my Veloped with confidence a…

  • Mrs Lorraine Bone…

    The Veloped has been everything I hoped for. At only 59 I was keen to have something that looked modern and trendy whilst still providing me with the support I need when walking. I have used it for short trips to the shop and also on a riverside walk…

  • Trionic Veloped Trek…

    There is really only one thing to say about my Veloped Trek and that is FABULOUS. The design and engineering are just superb - you have thought of everything. My Trek has absolutely changed my life and although I have not had it very long, I am now a…

    The only thing I find annoying is the constant ticking/clacking from the front wheel steering area.…

  • The Veloped in south-west Germany (Black Forest)…

    I am very enthusiastic about my Veloped. As I am almost 87 years old and unfortunately can no longer walk in the woods with Nordic walking poles, my daughter was looking for a real alternative to the ‘normal’ walker and she found it very quickly, she…

  • Rollator Walker 12er…

    Good morning, at first I ordered the Walker 14er, but this rollator with the large tires is much too big to be transported in my Opel Mokka. Now I use the Walker 12er and I am very happy with it.…

  • A really great product…

    A stable and modern walking aid, could just as well be used by younger people with or without mobility issues. Works very well on ice and some snow. For us with lots of snow during winter, you might imagine putting skis under the wheels, or using the…
