What was your concern with this review?
I am 68 years old and was a long-distance walker/hiker/backpacker until last Fall 2019, when on a 100 mile/161 kilometer hike, my right hip went out. Walking was painful and difficult. I could barely walk a block. Covid-19 came and treatments became limited or non-existent.
Longing to walk again in town and on mountain trails, I discovered the all-terrain Veloped Trek online. It arrived three weeks ago. It was simple to attach the wheels. Amazingly the Veloped Trek takes just enough pressure off my hip to begin walking again. I have been walking in town on a variety of surfaces: smooth sidewalks and uneven sidewalks; streets with cracks, bumps, and holes; gravel and small rocks; grass and dirt; and up and down curbs, and I have slowly increased distances. Today I walked 2 miles/3.2 kilometers. This is the perfect remedy for my hip. I especially like how it allows me to walk standing straight, not bent over, and the basket and gear are perfect for future picnics and further hikes.
Initially, two repairable problems presented themselves. I had two flat tires within the first week due to goathead stickers which are common here in the desert. This was easily fixed with the popular green goop used in bicycle tires. All four tires received the treatment and I have had no further flats. Also, I found the seat uncomfortable. This problem was resolved by partially inflating a long, rectangular, inflatable camping pillow/cushion, folding it into thirds and placing it in between the two seat layers. It is a soft seat now. It was an easy solution.
Overall, I am pleased with the Veloped Trek. It is sturdy and sporty-looking, and it has brought the joy of walking back into my life. Thanks to Oshin and Stefan who kindly assisted me as I made my purchase. The Veloped Trek is the best ever. Joyce, Alamogordo, New Mexico

I wrote a favourable review about your service and administration. I don’t know if you received it.
Medical issues have prevented my active use of the product since then but I like the look and feel of the walker so look forward to the Spring !…

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.

Veloped is the best thing that could have picked me up! It's quality of life! I can go away with it as usual, at my pace over hill and valley, as I am used to with my dogs. Thanks to the stability and security I have gained, I am relaxed on the walk,…
Works perfectly…
The Veloped bottle holder is easy to mount. All bottles and cans fit in it. I've already had up to 0.75 l bottles in it. A small thermos flask also works. You don't need any special bottles.…

I am tall and the Walker 14er gives me much more stability and confidence when walking.
Much more stable when working on uneven ground. Whilst more expensive than other products, it is a much superior product.
I would recommend to anyone considerin…

I bought my Veloped in July 2021 and I have never looked back. Having suffered with a back and balance problem for several years, walking with the Veloped keeps my back straight and I am no longer concerned about my balance as the frame gives me conf…
