How do I adjust the brake cable tension on my Veloped/Walker?

To ensure that you can use your Veloped/Walker safely, with time you need to adjust the brakes as they get worn. Adjusting the brakes does not require any tools and you’ll also find instructions in your manual.

Just follow these simple steps: 

Step 1. Adjust the adjustment screw on the brake lever with your fingers. If you screw the adjustment screw counter-clockwise (outwards) you tighten the brake, and if you screw the adjuster screw clockwise (inwards) you loosen the brake.

Step 2.After you have adjusted the brake tension with the adjuster screw, fix it in place by screwing the black nut clockwise until it stops against the main body of the brake lever.

Step 3. Test the brake function to ensure that you can both engage the motion brake and also the parking brake.

  • This review is totally voluntary!…

    I am 75 years old and I suffer from osteoarthritis, diabetes, and a heart issue. About six months ago, my wife and I decided to purchase a rollator from a well-known UK company. It was large and sturdy in design and I started using it and yes, it did…

  • A rollator that gives security…

    I use my wife's Walker 14er in addition to the rollator I have owned for years. The stable construction and large wheels of the Walker 14er give a completely different walking feeling, a new sense of safety. The bumpy cobblestones and uneven terrain …

  • Upsala…

    I can finally walk upright with my new walker and do not have to look at the ground to avoid potholes and the like. My young grandchildren call to each other to be quick to catch up with Oma. At 84 years old I find it a bit heavy to get into my boot,…

    Thank you!…

  • Pure relief!…

    I am the kind of person who likes to read reviews, but rarely gives any. But this time I want to share my enthusiasm with others. Due to my MS illness, I am pretty much dependent on a walking aid. So far, I have been using my walking sticks. Since we…
