Veloped - An Absolute Necessity!

Rating:

In 2011, I was cycling to the bus station to take a bus into Manchester where I worked. I was hit by a car driven by a 74-year-old man who wasn’t looking for a cyclist (I had right of way!) and he struck me as he turned in front of me. My head struck his windscreen and I was thrown over his car. Luckily it happened in front of a CCTV camera because he would have lied to the police and blamed me. I was badly injured and spent 8 months in two hospitals and a rehabilitation centre.

I could not go back to work and cannot work again as a result of my injuries. A serious head injury meant that my walking was very unsteady and still is. It wasn’t until I found the Veloped online and bought one (the Veloped Tour, I think), that I was able to go out again.

By this time, I had a dog and we began to go out together, once a day, in the mornings, for a walk. I live in the Peak District National Park where there are plenty of hills and slopes. There are no pavements for me to use but I have used the Veloped where I’ve had to go up and down pavements. It is so easy to use when there is no dropped kerb, thanks to the patented double wheel at the front. It certainly makes life easy for me.

I love using my Veloped because it makes walking much easier for me. It has plenty of space for me to carry things like a box of tissues for myself, a water bottle for my dog, binoculars for cuckoo and other bird-spotting, a mosquito net for help with midges, waterproof gloves, etc. I’ve bought rear lights for the Veloped so that I can be seen if a car approaches. I have my front light which lets me be seen by cyclists too. Having a Veloped to use really makes living life better. I would recommend having a Veloped to anyone who needs it.

  • Walker - from Sweden…

    The Veloped Sport M 14er arrived in TravermĂŒnde on the Baltic Sea in early March 2021.
    It enriched my life. By this I mean that I can walk again. I am an 80-year-old woman, and I would have liked to still be active and always around.

    Thanks to th…

  • Expensive but unmatched performance…

    I already had a pretty good rollator with hard rubber wheels a little less robust build. But on rough surfaces like my street or even worse trails, all the vibrations go straight to my arms - very uncomfortable. The Veloped solves all that with a stu…

    I purchased this for my husband, but he will not use it, don't know why as he hardly walks anywhere as he is not very steady on his feet. Having said that I keep thinking I will make use of it myself. At the moment I have only moved it a short way, b…
