What was your concern with this review?
I spent many, many hours at the Trionic facebook group, asking questions, reading all member comments about every aspect of the Veloped. I placed my order for the 12" Tour version based on those glowing and also quite candid reviews. As it transpired, every good thing posted about the Veloped turned out to be true. This rollator was easy to assemble, and i am tragically bad at assembling, it is solid, and stylish, balances beautifully over (for me) tricky terrain. It has made my fuller outdoor life possible. I can't recommend it more highly, even at the breathtaking Australian price of $3000. I would also like to mention the superb after-sales service of the Aussie Trionic rep David Zohs. I emailed the dumbest questions ( where is the lock I ordered? Oh, there it is, factory attached!). David followed up by phone immediately, twice. Such impressive support means a lot when you live in my far-away country. Six stars to Trionic support.
For anyone reading this review, I suggest that you build up your use of the Veli more slowly than I did. I raced around for two hours on the first day, and my underused shoulder and leg muscles complained bitterly the next. I needed a more sensible, realistic approach, more like 15 minutes a day for two weeks to achieve some appropriate fitness to be comfortable.
Complaints: None. If I had any suggestion, it would be a gear change option to slow down the Veli on hills. The brakes work brilliantly, but going downhill, it would be nice to have gear traction.

Truly an outstanding mobility aid. Very well constructed. It will truly allow you to go anywhere. It is happy on tarmac, trail and off-trail. It has enabled me to participate again in the weekly 5 K parkrun.…

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…

This is the best walker I've had. Love that it doesn't "shimmy" when I walk. Also, the brakes hold so much better than the pressure style.…

Since I got a new car I was finding it more difficult to get the walker in and out of the boot area. Keeping the walker inside the cover has made moving it much easier. It also means any muck on the wheels doesn't transfer to the car before I get th…

My second walker to use at home. Fits through all doors.
Best quality. I am very satisfied.…
The Veloped, my support in life…
I absolutely love it. It makes me dare get out for walks. I have balance difficulties, but the Veloped makes me not afraid of falling anymore. The fact that it's also good-looking doesn't make matters worse either.…

I am currently mostly housebound due to recovering from broken ankle and ribs! Also the recent weather has not helped as it has been wet and at times icy!
I have made about six or seven short walks from the house to local to our local roadway, wea…
