What if I have trouble making turns and steering my Veloped?

The front climbing wheel offers two different settings with different characteristics:

  1. One wheel on the ground = Easy steering and climbing ability.
  2. Two wheels on the ground = Direction-steadiness (for running/very difficult terrain) and climbing ability.

Setting 'B' makes the Veloped difficult to turn.

If you prefer the easy steering mode, you can use the setting with only one wheel on the ground for all types of terrain.

Most certainly you have changed the setting and both front wheels are standing on the ground. Change the setting and make sure that the climbing wheel is set to easy steering mode.

It is vital that you do as follows to change to the easy steering mode:

  1. Turn the front wheel 180 degrees, so you have easier access to the adjustment handle.
  2. With your left hand, grab the left wheel and lift it off the ground.
  3. With your right hand, grab the red knob and pull it towards you.
  4. Push the 'triangular' adjustment arm as far to the bottom as possible. You should hear a 'clonk', metal against metal.
  5. Let go of the red knob and make sure that the adjustment arm is secured in its bottom position.
  6. There should be a gap of 1.5 cm between the first wheel (left) and the ground.

Here's a video showing the above:

If you do not lift the left wheel when changing the setting, the adjuster arm will not engage and both wheels remain on the ground.

  • 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…

  • Walker 12-inch wheels.…

    I have had my Walker for about 6 weeks. I am delighted with it. It is very well made, sturdy, folds well for putting into the car for transport and is not too heavy. The service I have received is excellent. I had major spinal surgery for cancer and …

  • From the neighbor to your own Veloped…

    Saw it at my neighbor's house and bought it because I was impressed by every aspect. It looks great, handles well (the brakes and function)—which is difficult to grasp for someone with dementia (in our case), but otherwise the brakes work perfectly. …

  • 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.…

  • 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…

  • Congratulations to the whole Trionic team!…

    What you have come up with is truly impressive. I can only recommend this walker! A few weeks ago I had an accident where my mobility has been compromised. Since I didn’t want to miss small hikes, I was looking for a stable walker. The Veloped Trek d…

  • Great product…

    I have the Walker 14er and love it for walking the dog as it goes anywhere. Bought this one to use when I go out shopping, etc. and am so pleased with it as I feel much safer when I use it. I do find it a little bit heavy but thoroughly recommend it…

  • The best set of wheels we could find.…

    My wife's Trionic, as I call it, has exceeded our expectations and has given my wife freedom to roam and has coped with rough and uneven ground as though it was flat! Plus whenever she wants to rest, finds the seat comfortable.

    We adjusted the h…

  • Never again without it!…

    In spring I was saying:
    If I can't walk better until autumn, I will buy an all-terrain rollator for the vacation in the mountains.

    My walking didn’t get better and my back was always crooked while walking. My son helped me with the search and the…
