Veloped - An Absolute Necessity!

Rating:

In 2011, I was cycling to the bus station to take a bus into Manchester where I worked. I was hit by a car driven by a 74-year-old man who wasn’t looking for a cyclist (I had right of way!) and he struck me as he turned in front of me. My head struck his windscreen and I was thrown over his car. Luckily it happened in front of a CCTV camera because he would have lied to the police and blamed me. I was badly injured and spent 8 months in two hospitals and a rehabilitation centre.

I could not go back to work and cannot work again as a result of my injuries. A serious head injury meant that my walking was very unsteady and still is. It wasn’t until I found the Veloped online and bought one (the Veloped Tour, I think), that I was able to go out again.

By this time, I had a dog and we began to go out together, once a day, in the mornings, for a walk. I live in the Peak District National Park where there are plenty of hills and slopes. There are no pavements for me to use but I have used the Veloped where I’ve had to go up and down pavements. It is so easy to use when there is no dropped kerb, thanks to the patented double wheel at the front. It certainly makes life easy for me.

I love using my Veloped because it makes walking much easier for me. It has plenty of space for me to carry things like a box of tissues for myself, a water bottle for my dog, binoculars for cuckoo and other bird-spotting, a mosquito net for help with midges, waterproof gloves, etc. I’ve bought rear lights for the Veloped so that I can be seen if a car approaches. I have my front light which lets me be seen by cyclists too. Having a Veloped to use really makes living life better. I would recommend having a Veloped to anyone who needs it.

    I have had my Veloped Sport for four months. I don't use it in normal daily life because I force myself to walk around hands-free. Due to many operations, it is difficult for me to keep my upper body upright. It is tiring and requires an extreme amou…

    Outstanding customer service. I contacted the company as a patient of mine had broken her walker. Johan was so helpful, worked out what needed to be replaced and sent the replacement free of charge. Thank you

    I have found the Trionic Walker excellent, as I have numb fingers tips, I am able to collapse the handle down with the clip locks, which has helped in keeping my independence.

    I received my Veloped on time in a very sturdy packaging and tried it out with my wife in Trier the following weekend.

    It is a wonderful device, the developers have come up with some great solutions that you won't find on any other walker (this is…

  • Walker…

    I love my new walker. It is great going over grassy and rocky areas.
    The only issue that I have is when I put it into the back of my Subaru Impreza. It is somewhat hard to put it in and lay it down. Any suggestions?…

  • Trionic Walker 12er…

    My 87 year old mother is thrilled with her new walker. Instead of rattling along uneven footpaths and struggling up and down kerbs she now glides effortlessly over all the bumps and up high kerbs. Nothing like this wonderful walker is available in Ir…
