What was your concern with this review?
I thought for a long time about buying a Veloped and I decided to take the risk! I wanted it for my vacation in Spain: dry, rocky, stony, and mountainous terrain. Total fiasco! It is not suitable for all terrains as advertised. Difficulty: unable to pass on wet sand and gravel. Narrow paths, footbridges and bridges are impassable because the Veloped is too wide. Going up, down the stairs and overcoming the curbs is impossible, even pushing a little doesn't help. In the mountains, with a side slope, the Veloped is difficult to steer: the front wheels drift and it takes a lot of strength and effort to stay on track and to avoid ending up in the ditch. Driving both front wheels is extremely difficult because the steering is too hard and therefore impossible. I am not very strong physically and I am severely disabled, I was hoping for more relief, instead I reach my physical limits.
The handlebar of the Veloped is too short, not even a dog leash or a shopping bag can be hung on it. The basket is also too small!
Engaging the parking brake is very cumbersome, in fact you need both hands. In the mountains: hold the walker, hold the dog's leash, then put on the brakes too!
Transportation: it is too big for a normal car, then you no longer have space for your vacation suitcases. Added to this is the constant assembly and disassembly of the Veloped, which is very difficult to follow without a person to assist you!
Suitable for flat countryside, but you won't need it there: I have a Topro outdoor walker, which isn't bad either.
Overall, I am very disappointed and sadly I would not buy it back as my wishes remained unfulfilled. It's really a shame!!
Amazing!!…
Here the Trek 14er comes in. Unlike regular rollators, it's designed to cope with rough/uneven terrain, it's sturdy enough to support me, yet still lightweight enough for me to lift in and out of my car etc. It has a seat for when I have to stop and …

My review: this is now my third walker and at the same time my best. Since I have two dogs, I am going outside at least three times a day,
I only drive off-road, that means on rough and difficult field and forest paths, it also goes only up and down…

Perfect - this has given me my life back and most of my independence. Cleo the cocker loves it as well cos we can go off-road walking in some pretty rough terrain with the larger wheels and pneumatic tyres. No more rattling and bouncing. Kerb and …

She is much admired particularly by me. She offers so much more stability over sticks, beautifully designed and made, the only thing I have added is a strap to clamp her together when manoeuvring in and out of the car. Looking at the brochure I was w…
Easier, more daily fun…
They have really thought of the user! Everything is well thought out and with my Veloped, I dare to get out socially and not opt out of some activities. Safer, happier, which also means I need less help from people around me! Highly recommended!…

Due to Spinal Stenosis and nerve damage, my balance is not good and have a tendency to fall a lot. I discovered the Trionic 3 years ago and have enjoyed walking my dogs on all sorts of terrain with no falls and have been able to enjoy the scenery ins…
