What was your concern with this review?
I thought for a long time about buying a Veloped and I decided to take the risk! I wanted it for my vacation in Spain: dry, rocky, stony, and mountainous terrain. Total fiasco! It is not suitable for all terrains as advertised. Difficulty: unable to pass on wet sand and gravel. Narrow paths, footbridges and bridges are impassable because the Veloped is too wide. Going up, down the stairs and overcoming the curbs is impossible, even pushing a little doesn't help. In the mountains, with a side slope, the Veloped is difficult to steer: the front wheels drift and it takes a lot of strength and effort to stay on track and to avoid ending up in the ditch. Driving both front wheels is extremely difficult because the steering is too hard and therefore impossible. I am not very strong physically and I am severely disabled, I was hoping for more relief, instead I reach my physical limits.
The handlebar of the Veloped is too short, not even a dog leash or a shopping bag can be hung on it. The basket is also too small!
Engaging the parking brake is very cumbersome, in fact you need both hands. In the mountains: hold the walker, hold the dog's leash, then put on the brakes too!
Transportation: it is too big for a normal car, then you no longer have space for your vacation suitcases. Added to this is the constant assembly and disassembly of the Veloped, which is very difficult to follow without a person to assist you!
Suitable for flat countryside, but you won't need it there: I have a Topro outdoor walker, which isn't bad either.
Overall, I am very disappointed and sadly I would not buy it back as my wishes remained unfulfilled. It's really a shame!!

Due to my illness, COPD, knee joint operations and balance problems caused by spinal surgery, I could only walk in a limited way in our large garden, which has no paved paths. I absolutely could not cope with a normal walker. Therefore, this model wa…

Due to the severe deterioration of my spine, I was no longer able to walk more than 100 meters or so. By chance I came across Trionic. The description convinced me and so I bought the product. After the fast delivery I was thrilled about my first "tr…
My Veloped makes me safe…
Great to be able to take brisk walks with my Veloped in the green area close to my neighborhood. To get there, I pass street crossings, where the Veloped smoothly climbs up and down the curbs. Since the Veloped is easy to "fold" and load in the trunk…

Since my severely disabled sister (spasticity) started using the Trionic Walker 12", sudden wheel locks on the numerous uneven road surfaces, as well as on sandy and grassy areas, are a thing of the past. It's safer for her and a great comfort for us…
