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.
Veloped Tour ;-)…
I would just like to say what a life changer this Veloped has been for me. Having been diagnosed with spinal cerebellum Ataxia type 6 a few years ago, I now have very little balance.
I can now walk independently using my Veloped with confidence a…

Love it, kerbs no problem, hills no problem. I have had trouble with a kissing gate!! Thought I might be stuck in it, collapsed it and took it through like an upside down tripod. Have fixed 2 cable ties 4 cane holder.…
Fantastic service!…
I'm thrilled that TRIONIC offers every spare part for my VELOPED. And that's not all – they even provide a video showing how to install it.
Everything worked perfectly. Our German companies could definitely learn a thing or two from this service!

The company sells one of the absolute best walkers I have ever tested.…
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!…
The Veloped 14er is now my travelling companion…
The Veloped 14er arrived this afternoon! I immediately trained my circulation on a 2 km excursion; the upper handle height adjustment fits my needs perfectly. The excellent documentation on the website made it very easy to set up the order.
