What was your concern with this review?
I'm a 62-year-old woman from the Netherlands and last year I suffered a CVA, which caused my right side to be permanently unusable. So since then, I have been stuck in a wheelchair.
During the last year, I went through therapy to try and recover some use/movement of my right arm and leg. During the therapy, I met a fellow patient who had a lot of benefits from a Trionic Veloped to help him walk again.
As it turns out, the Trionic Veloped is the only walker you can use with one hand.
Its all-terrain wheels make it possible to walk everywhere – on uneven pavement, curbs, and cobbles and get by with limited ability in one of the legs.
I asked for information directly from Stephan at Trionic, and he answered all my questions very kindly and directly over both mail and telephone. We were able to put together a Veloped Tour for me to try.
It arrived duly, perfectly packed, and turned out to be easy for me to assemble.
Then I went to work!
Over the past two months having worked with the Veloped, which I had named 'Thomas' (the tank engine), I can honestly say it has changed my world. From being someone in a wheelchair to someone who stands and engages with other people on their eye level again.
The Veloped has me walking upright again!
For shopping, a doctor's appointment, or just to go for a walk with friends for fun! In shopping centres, a park or sightseeing. I can take it into restaurants and theatres easily.
It will take from work from you, as you will have to practice on the Veloped daily, but you will find improvements in your capabilities daily.
For anyone living in the Netherlands, who wants to know and has one-sided paraplegia, I would be happy to share experiences. I am sure Stefan at Trionic can put us in contact.

My husband had fallen a few times in the last few months, but he still refused to use a rollator. That's why I looked around for a better one than the ones usually offered in German medical shops. I found the Walker and suggested it to my husband. He…

After extensively testing the Veloped Trek 14er M, I would like to describe my experience here. What really surprised me was the smoothness of the Veloped. Roots and branches are not an obstacle and can be easily driven over. The assembly and disasse…

Very well made, easy to use.
Add on weights on the rear maybe a good idea, sometimes too easy to move with brakes on.…
