My Fabulous Veloped

Rating:

I purchased my Veloped 14er in May and have found it to be a great product. The shipping was quick, the packaging sturdy and protective, and the Veloped came ready to go! I named her Vera.

Since the first day, the Veloped has transformed my life. I have a serious spinal condition that causes weakness in my legs and great difficulty in walking and Vera has helped me more than I imagined she could.

I didn’t want to look like an “old lady”, all hunched over with a typical walker – the Veloped encourages upright posture and feels supportive as you can push the seat forward over the basket and be “inside” the walking frame. This allows me to walk for fitness again, and to walk my dogs. A number of people have stopped me to say what an ingenious “rollator” it is and admire its quality and good looks.

I recently visited my daughter in Curaçao – the off-road walking conditions there are challenging – and the Veloped saw me through the walks we took with her three dogs. I was also able to go shopping and sightseeing for much longer periods of time than I have for some years, thanks to Vera’s support.

Travelling with Vera was a bit challenging but if everything is planned ahead, it’s doable. When flying, have the Veloped or its storage bag handle tagged at check-in and then fold it at the aircraft door for staff to put into the hold. You can ask for it to be tagged to be brought to the door of the aircraft at the end of the flight. I had a custom bag made for it to prevent damage (note: airlines do not care about fragile stickers so a custom bag is recommended – I suppose wrapping it in bubble wrap would protect it, too, but would be awkward to do at the aircraft door) and I spent a day before I left teaching myself how to fold the Veloped down and secure it in the said bag in under 4 minutes. This proved invaluable as I had 6 flights to take. If you are traveling alone and you would have trouble lifting 12 kilos, I would suggest booking assistance. Though I can do it myself, it was helpful to have ground staff assisting me with bagging the Veloped for every flight.

I can remove the front climbing wheel and place Vera into the back seat or rear space of our car without any trouble. If your car is very small, it might not be as easy, so check the dimensions before ordering.

I am grateful for being able to walk on uneven ground again, and am rebuilding my walking fitness – usually accompanied by my dogs.

Thanks to the team at Trionic!

    I absolutely love my new Trionic Trek because it has given me back some independence. I can now access town and it skips over kerbs beautifully. So much so that you wouldn’t even know the kerb is there. I love that it is easy to switch it from city m…
