What was your concern with this review?
For a long time, I have not been able to take part in the hikes through our city forest with my beloved Nordic Walking group. I am too insecure even with 2 sticks (artificial knee joint, severe osteoarthritis on the other knee, polyneuropathy! - I am 77 years old).
Now I have the Veloped-Tour with 14er tyres!
(So far, I do not get the whole 1,5-hour tour - but I am slowly getting closer).
It is a revelation - even with the greatest expectation, I could not have imagined it to be so well off-road and safe.
Paths full of roots both uphill and downhill are not a problem. I walk safely, upright and with a view of my surroundings, sometimes chatting with fellow travellers.
I am free again! (a very happy feeling).
Actually, my review would end here
- But I still list the "important" things for me:
• Weight - without wheels no problem, I can easily get it into the car by myself (my trunk is higher, ancient SUV!)
• Wheels - easy to remove and attach with almost just one movement
• Folding mechanism - easy to use - simple to store, fits in lifts, cars, buses, and trains
• Seat - comfortable, good even for longer breaks (with backrest easy to put up)
• Handle height - quickly adjustable with one movement (higher position is better when going downhill)
• Off-road/city mode can be adjusted quickly and easily - works great
• Basket - holds everything important (including medium-sized purchases – and with my Veloped I could even transport very heavy things, up to 150 kg).
"I love my rhino (after rhinoceros): head (wheel) down and run full power!"
And finally:
• Very, very friendly consultancy in German; by phone with Stefan Kindberg
• Delivery: Ordered Tuesday afternoon, arrived Friday noon
Do I need to mention that I will of course order future items again from TRIONIC without thinking twice?

Excellent…
This is the best walker I've had. Love that it doesn't "shimmy" when I walk. Also, the brakes hold so much better than the pressure style.…
Essential for urban hiking…
So much easier to use than the 12 er. The fact that it can climb most curbs in Boston is nothing short of genius! The 14 inch wheels make on and off-roading such a breeze and a very smooth ride throughout! I go about 7 miles a day on my Veloped, and …
Works exactly how it was designed…
I bought the rain cover not to protect the Veloped from getting wet, rather to keep debris that could collect on it inside the garage.…
Very satisfied. It works really well!…
We bought the Veloped for our son. He has problems with balance and endurance as he walks. And we all like to be out in nature. With his new aid, he is much more independent, and much safer on the road. It works really well!…
FREEDOM!…
I searched the web and contacted Australian mobility aids companies trying to find an 'off road' rollator for my husband to use it around the house paddock on the farm. While he has a quad bike, ute and tractor for getting around, the farm, he'd had …
Mrs V Potts…
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…
Super Walker!…
Dream device! I get everywhere with this Walker. Obstacles are no problem! It is not exactly inexpensive, but I would buy it again.…
I am happy…
I am still practising. It works quite well on both paved and unpaved paths. I'm happy to have it, because it is safe.…
