The Veloped Trek is the best ever . . .

Rating:

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

  • Happy with the Veloped Trek 14 L…

    We bought the Veloped Trek 14 L recently. It was great how quickly it was delivered and my husband was able to put it together without any problems.
    As he has a lower leg implant, he can't normally walk very long without the need to rest repeatedly …

  • Enthusiasm on 3... 4 wheels ;-)…

    I am also an enthusiastic user of Veloped Sport.
    Due to cancer, I had to rely on a mobility aid very early on. I also got a dog for mental and physical support. For both of us to be able to walk not only in the village but above all in nature, it w…

  • Absolutely love my new Trionic 4 wheel……

    It’s so easy to walk with, the 14inch wheels are great for the smaller curbs.
    I like the way that the two front wheels are always together, it makes a huge difference.
    I would certainly recommend this product.

  • Absolutely delighted with my Veloped and worth every penny.…

    Beautifully made and well designed.

    I broke my back nearly two years ago . I also have polymyalgia, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and liver disease so was quite inactive even before then.

    I am still building up my stamina, but c…

  • Suggestion…

    Good morning,
    I am very happy to write to you. As you know my wife sees only 5% per eye and, after the initial difficulties, now she gets along very well with her walker. Sure, someone always must be there, but that has nothing to do with this great…

  • New life…

    Bought this for my husband with Parkinson’s who had lost confidence with walking. Now wants to go out for a walk daily, and feels safe. The quality of the product is excellent. Delivery was excellent and only had to lift it out of the box, open it up…

  • Perfect for gravel roads…

    Purchased this for my 88 year old mother. It works perfectly in our rural area. She can now navigate gravel roads with the large tires (the small plastic wheels on her old walker kept getting stuck). It looks good too! She enjoys the positive comm…

  • Walker 12''…

    Exactly what I have been looking for. Exceptional build quality. The larger pneumatic tyres make it so easy and comfortable to walk with.…

  • Mr Lawrence Urquhart…

    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 !…
