What is a Veloped?

The Veloped is an ingenious Swedish invention, best described as a “walking tricycle.” It offers walking support, and you can head for the golf course, walking paths, hiking trails, your garden or the city streets.

The Veloped is tested and approved according to the international standard ISO 11199-2:2021, for a maximum user weight of 150 kg.

The Veloped is far superior to a rollator when it comes to walking outdoors. Instead of the “bone-shaking” and unpleasant ride of a rollator, the Veloped offers unbeatable comfort. You are no longer limited to walking on smooth and even streets only. The Veloped rides with ease and comfort on grass, gravel, cobbles, rock, snow and sand.

A Veloped is a 3-wheeler, but in fact, it has 4 wheels. Confusing? Let us explain.

The Veloped has a triangular frame with two rear wheels and the patented Climbing Wheel at the front. The Climbing Wheel's two front wheels sit on a bogie axle – a link arm that can pivot around its centre. Since the two front wheels slightly overlap, the Veloped can climb over obstacles, and the pivoting bogie axle gives a springy, suspension-like effect over bumps and uneven ground. The Veloped has no other suspension.

Since the Veloped, in effect, is a “3-wheeler”, it will always ride with full ground contact. Surely you have experienced what a nightmare a shopping cart is to push once you get out to the parking lot. The swivel wheels lift from the ground, they start spinning, and the cart heads off in every direction except the one you want it to go. Enter a “3-wheel” design, and suddenly, the problem is solved!

A Veloped has nothing but air-filled tyres.

With its Climbing Wheel, 3-wheel design and air-filled tyres, the Veloped will bring you wherever you would like to go. It’s a pleasure to drive, and the comfort is unbeatable.

The comfort benefits of a Veloped are obvious when comparing it with the harsh ride of a rollator, but to prove the point: Would you consider driving a car with solid tyres and no suspension?
