Hello! How can we help you?

What if I have trouble making turns and steering my Veloped?

The front climbing wheel offers two different settings with different characteristics:

  1. One wheel on the ground = Easy steering and climbing ability.
  2. Two wheels on the ground = Direction-steadiness (for running/very difficult terrain) and climbing ability.

Setting 'B' makes the Veloped difficult to turn.

If you prefer the easy steering mode, you can use the setting with only one wheel on the ground for all types of terrain.

Most certainly you have changed the setting and both front wheels are standing on the ground. Change the setting and make sure that the climbing wheel is set to easy steering mode.

It is vital that you do as follows to change to the easy steering mode:

  1. Turn the front wheel 180 degrees, so you have easier access to the adjustment handle.
  2. With your left hand, grab the left wheel and lift it off the ground.
  3. With your right hand, grab the red knob and pull it towards you.
  4. Push the 'triangular' adjustment arm as far to the bottom as possible. You should hear a 'clonk', metal against metal.
  5. Let go of the red knob and make sure that the adjustment arm is secured in its bottom position.
  6. There should be a gap of 1.5 cm between the first wheel (left) and the ground.

Here's a video showing the above:

If you do not lift the left wheel when changing the setting, the adjuster arm will not engage and both wheels remain on the ground.

  • The Veloped – an ingenious device – we love it!…

    After our 86-year-old mother's walking radius decreased due to unsteady gait, and she could only move around outside the home with an escort, she considered – albeit very ambivalently – a mobility aid. A "regular" walker was out of the question for h…

  • FREEDOM!…

    I searched the web and contacted Australian mobility aids companies trying to find an 'off road' rollator for my husband to use it around the house paddock on the farm. While he has a quad bike, ute and tractor for getting around, the farm, he'd had …

  • My Rolls Royce…

    My Rolls Royce – a.k.a. Walker 12 – and me have now together undergone the ultimate test, namely the Stockholm winter 2018-2019 with snow plowing à la Stockholm municipality.

    The sidewalks and walkways have either been covered in either 10 centime…

  • My Veloped Trek is a Life Saver…

    My Veloped Trek arrived yesterday. I couldn’t wait to try it out. Managed a good walk down to our village, up and down kerbs no problem at all. I have not been able to do that walk without severe pain for a few years. I feel liberated and can’t wait …

  • Walker 12…

    I bought the Veloped Tour 1.5 years ago and I'm very happy with it. The only problem was that the trunk of our car was too small. So I bought a travel rollator (it's not that expensive). We went to the North Sea and the travel rollator didn't meet my…

  • The assembly was easy and quick…

    The first ride with the Veloped was fantastic. We were able to walk with my mother again on paths in the forest, which was where we had last walked together years ago. This was simply not possible with the standard walker. There were also no problems…

  • I’m thrilled with this!…

    Transformed my life! Yes, I did get out before but was very unsteady and was always concerned that I might need to sit down and there was nowhere to sit (unfortunately I can’t sit on the ground!). Now I no longer have these concerns! My confidence ha…

  • Top quality…

    I live in an area with lots of cobblestones big and small. There are also nice paths to walk on, but unfortunately some of them are very rough and with my normal rollator I constantly had arm and neck pain.

    The TRIONIC Sport has solved my problem.…
