What was your concern with this review?
I have a rare neurological condition Hereditary Spastic Paresis which causes muscle stiffness, balance issues, and consequently mobility problems. I have used walking poles for the last couple of years but when I walk I no longer enjoy my surroundings as I am so busy looking at the ground and concentrating so I don't fall. I thought long and hard about buying a walker as it felt like giving in but I was equally fed up of hanging off my husband or treating a walk like a battle to stay upright rather than an enjoyable experience. After much research, I came across the Veloped and ordered it in July.
I can honestly say it has changed my life, I am learning to enjoy my walks and not stare at the ground constantly. I am getting used to steering it, I prefer 2 wheels down as it feels more stable and there is a definite knack to turning it in that mode, but the more I use it the better I get.
I am now walking every day and on the 8th of Oct, I start a 100-mile walking challenge to be completed in 4 weeks for MND research. I need to walk 3.2 miles every day over that period to reach my target which will be hard, I would never have considered this without my Veloped. I seriously cannot recommend the Veloped enough, I've got all the gadgets for it and love it. It has definitely been a big investment but worth every penny, life-changing in such a good way.

The Trionic 12er is a very stylish and sturdy successor for my husband's previous walker. It looks weightier in design than previous models but is in fact unbelievably light in handling.
Its pneumatic tyres provide a very smooth walk and allow ea…

My used Veloped has a non-original wheel. This wheel has a broken valve. I ordered an original tube and replaced it myself. I've never done that before; I'm 68 years old, and I did it alone. I was very proud of myself.…

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.

This is a review of the Trionic 12-inch rollator, not the Veloped. This rollator is what I needed! I am 54 with spastic cerebral palsy. I cannot walk independently at all, but I have a fair amount of upper body strength & some balance. The rollator i…

Recieved my trionic veloped trek yesterday, its a bit of a beast compared to usuall rollators but so much easier and more comfortable to use. Today i went on a 2hr walk with my old dog(who approves of the front basket when his little legs are tired),…
Love it!…
I already own a Veloped that I bought second-hand and use daily at our local country park so know how good the quality is and how useful they are. I wanted a smaller walker that would fit in the footwell of the car with the seat flipped up so I can t…

Hi,
I just got back from a walk here in Sundsvall close to the new E4 bridge by the bay.
The bridge won't be finished until 2014, so here there are temporary dirt roads mixed with paved segments. The Veloped worked just perfectly. I was out 45 minu…
