    A good purchase…

    I have had my Veloped since Christmas 2021. I unpacked it and assembled it by myself. Since then, I've walked many kilometres through the forest, over hills and valleys. If it doesn't rain, I walk 4-5 km every day without fatigue and without stopping…

    Never again without it!…

    In spring I was saying:
    If I can't walk better until autumn, I will buy an all-terrain rollator for the vacation in the mountains.
