Too big for urban environment

Rating:

I bought a Veloped with 14-inch wheels. As an off-road walker, it is the best.

But it is simply too large for an urban environment. I have major problems going through store doors with it. Using it on an urban sidewalk also is not easy due to its extra width.

While the unit folds up for storage and transport, it tends to open up. I had to create my own velcro latch to keep it closed.

Part of me would return it due to the size, except it is the only walker I found that works well on sand.

    My mother (87) is happy. Thanks to pneumatic tyres and big wheels, she can finally take part in city life again. Other (usual) walkers had caused severe pain in her shoulder.…

  • Finally more freedom of movement and safety…

    After several health challenges, I find walking difficult, especially on uneven surfaces. I hardly ever went outside anymore. I particularly missed walking in the woods. Now my family has ordered me the Veloped Sport. At last I can go for a walk out…

  • Excellent customer service…

    I messed up the thread for the clamping screw on the brake lever. Customer service helped me in a very friendly and reliable manner. After a few days I received a replacement screw, but unfortunately the thread in the hole of the lever was worn out.

  • Essential for urban hiking…

    So much easier to use than the 12 er. The fact that it can climb most curbs in Boston is nothing short of genius! The 14 inch wheels make on and off-roading such a breeze and a very smooth ride throughout! I go about 7 miles a day on my Veloped, and …

  • The Walking Marvel…

    I sympathized with the Trionic brand for a long time, and now when I've got one, I'm an enthusiastic Veloped fan; running is fun again despite being overweight and lazy!…
