What was your concern with this review?
I'm a 62-year-old woman from the Netherlands and last year I suffered a CVA, which caused my right side to be permanently unusable. So since then, I have been stuck in a wheelchair.
During the last year, I went through therapy to try and recover some use/movement of my right arm and leg. During the therapy, I met a fellow patient who had a lot of benefits from a Trionic Veloped to help him walk again.
As it turns out, the Trionic Veloped is the only walker you can use with one hand.
Its all-terrain wheels make it possible to walk everywhere – on uneven pavement, curbs, and cobbles and get by with limited ability in one of the legs.
I asked for information directly from Stephan at Trionic, and he answered all my questions very kindly and directly over both mail and telephone. We were able to put together a Veloped Tour for me to try.
It arrived duly, perfectly packed, and turned out to be easy for me to assemble.
Then I went to work!
Over the past two months having worked with the Veloped, which I had named 'Thomas' (the tank engine), I can honestly say it has changed my world. From being someone in a wheelchair to someone who stands and engages with other people on their eye level again.
The Veloped has me walking upright again!
For shopping, a doctor's appointment, or just to go for a walk with friends for fun! In shopping centres, a park or sightseeing. I can take it into restaurants and theatres easily.
It will take from work from you, as you will have to practice on the Veloped daily, but you will find improvements in your capabilities daily.
For anyone living in the Netherlands, who wants to know and has one-sided paraplegia, I would be happy to share experiences. I am sure Stefan at Trionic can put us in contact.
Good concept for replacement…
I needed to replace a brake lever because the thread for the clamping screw was worn out. I looked for the instructions on this site and have to say it was super simple to replace the lever. Simply remove the handle, pull off the brake lever, remove …

I bought this for my 82 yr old mother. She loved to walk in the countryside and on wooded paths, but concern about balance had really slowed her down and she complained she could only walk 1 mile and needed to take breaks. I gave her the Veloped as…
Absolutely delighted with my Veloped and worth every penny.…
Beautifully made and well designed.
I broke my back nearly two years ago . I also have polymyalgia, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and liver disease so was quite inactive even before then.
I am still building up my stamina, but c…
Veloped Trek for Snowdon!…
I recently purchased my first Veloped and it has helped immensely in improving my fitness and mental health by getting me outdoors more often. I have Parkinson’s disease and am getting fit ready to walk up Snowdon with it in a few months time for cha…
Walker 14er…
Delivery very poor. Incompetent driver failed first ‘attempt’ and couldn’t find my door bell, simple enough; on his second ‘deliver without fail’ journey. Miserable performance by your delivery team!…
Awesome, awesome, amazing…
I've had it for a few days now and I'm absolutely amazed. It grinds through and over everything. I can cross the hills here in the Veluwe and through mud puddles. The Veloped is a real Rollator, expensive, but worth so much more if you can go out. Yo…
Out n about pram wheels…
Fits fine on out n about pram wheels. Not perfect but working well now for a couple months.
The tyre profile is slightly narrower and with deeper tread than the default ones. Doesn't seem to be causing any performance issues! Slightly more mud comin…

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.
Well done, Lads. I hope you keep going strong with your Walkers.

I've now completed a longer journey with my Veloped and had the opportunity to test it thoroughly. We spent 14 days at the Baltic Sea. Walks on the beach and on varying pavement were no problem. Transporting it by bus was also straightforward. I don'…
