Too big for urban environment

Rating:

What was your concern with this review?

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.

  • Like winning the lottery!…

    Due to my illness, COPD, knee joint operations and balance problems caused by spinal surgery, I could only walk in a limited way in our large garden, which has no paved paths. I absolutely could not cope with a normal walker. Therefore, this model wa…

  • 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 …

  • Brilliant!…

    The Veloped Sport is an absolutely brilliant machine which has completely changed my life.
    I had another make of four wheeled walker, which was not comfortable to use and if I hit a small obstacle it felt as though I would go over the top of it.

    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…

  • PERFECT…

    Perfect, because you can walk upright and avoid walking with a bent back. The back improves the more you walk.
    A tip: When folding the Veloped, there should be a latch that keeps the frame locked in a folded state.
