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!!
Very satisfied…
The manoeuvrability and quality of the components are excellent. The Walker, with its large tyres, is much easier to steer than a conventional model, especially on uneven terrains such as pavements or gravel paths. The high axles on the rear wheels i…

Bit the bullet and bought the stool
Bit the bullet and bought the stool as the seat on the Veloped doesn´t suit me and I could use it else where too.
It is expensive, but must say I’m impressed. Feels a bit like riding a horse, so encourages be…
For any age, this is the Walker to choose.…
I am delighted with my 12er. Try to use it everyday. I am 88 and In a walking for Health Group. So many other walkers have asked all about it.( Men taking notice of the Soldering, Brakes and Tyres ) Ive done quite a bit of " Off roading" it went well…
Able to walk outdoors again…
The Trionic Veloped Sport was an excellent purchase. Because of cerebellar ataxia, I am no longer able to walk without a rollator. This device allows me to walk outdoors again, which is huge! It is worth every cent.…
Excellent customer service…
On the rare occasions I have had to contact this company they have been so helpful. Advising me how to remove parts etc. Their customer service really is 100 per cent.…
Thank you…
Received my Trionic this week and am very impressed, improved my mobility.…
Tires…
The tires arrived very quickly, I mounted them and immediately I walked again.
I bought the Veloped first - Perfect! Later I bought the Walker to match it - Equally perfect, but I prefer the Veloped because it is longer in front and with it, I can r…
A real all terrain walker…
I have finally found the perfect wheeled walker! The Trionic Veloped Tour 14er M. It is adjustable to be tall enough for me, which make a nice change, I am 6 foot and in the past walkers have felt too low, what totally blew me away was being able to …
Very stable even on bumpy terrain…
The Walker is very helpful on cobblestones and forest paths, yet still relatively light, and a bit bulky in the car boot.…
