What was your concern with this review?
I bought a Veloped Tour (with 12-inch wheels) online from Trionic in May 2020 for my 86-year-old father. To everyone’s delight, my father was immediately able to walk much faster, much further, and much more easily than before.
One of the specific difficulties had been the very uneven ground all around my parents’ house, especially gravel paths. Trying to go for a walk on gravel with a “conventional” rollator was very hard work and very frustrating. In contrast, the Veloped has been able to handle rough terrain with ease, right from the first outing. My father finds it extremely easy to use and to push, and can now walk without stopping for an astonishingly long time. Instead of being confined to the small patio/terrace by the house, he can now go and explore all around.
When I asked my father for his review, his comments were, “everyone admires the design”, “easy and pleasant to use”, “a quality product”, “easy to fold” (and easy to squeeze to make it go through narrow doors). As an engineer, my father especially admired the design of the brakes. He asked whether the Veloped could be turned into a wheelchair (it can't), but I suspect this is because he can now walk much further than before, and maybe would rather not have to walk all the way back! Maybe this is an idea for the “next generation” of Velopeds? In the meantime, my father uses the seat when he needs to rest, and finds it quite comfortable.
My father also mentioned that he would have appreciated a small (bicycle) pump as part of the package, in case the tires need to be inflated. However, this has not been an issue so far (and pumps are readily available from other family members, or I believe as a separate accessory from Trionic).
Overall, I am thrilled to see the immediate positive difference that the Veloped has made in my father’s life. I feel the Veloped is allowing my father to rediscover his adventurous self, and enabling him to “boldly go where no rollator has gone before”!
I would like to add that it has been a pleasure to communicate with Trionic (Stefan), who has always responded to my enquiries (by phone or email) with speed, technical knowledge, and efficiency. At first, I thought Trionic was not responding to emails, but their initial responses had been misdirected to my “junk” mail.
One last comment: the Veloped was delivered to Belgium by UPS (courier service), which allows package tracking and should normally result in prompt delivery. However, my parents’ house is a bit hard to find, and in the end, my family had to collect the 18kg box from the UPS distribution centre. So if you place an order, I would suggest including plenty of details to help UPS find the delivery address for this very special package.

New lease on life…
My Veloped has given me a new lease on life! It’s so much safer and easier than using my walker, and allows me to navigate all kinds of terrain too, including trails. I feel comfortable being more independent and also never worry about getting stuck …
Great walker! Trionic is the brand I recommend!!…
I’ve been using my walker since June 2025 and it has helped immensely. It is a workhorse! I can take it across lawns, curbs and gravel without hesitation that stopped my two former walkers cold. There is no better feeling than to SIT safely and comf…
Great health and pleasure benefit…
Due to an increasing neurological problem, I could only walk about 100 m before having to stop and sit down. On my first outing with the Walker, I could easily do a 400 m distance without the need to stop. I have gradually been able to increase my di…
Based on excellent experiences with the Veloped and the Walker…
Based on my excellent experience with the Veloped, I also bought the Walker for my mother to use in the city. So far, my mother is completely satisfied with both mobility aids. Both walkers are robust, well-designed and make a very good impression.

Very good quality…
Expensive but worth the quality of life it brings. As opposed to an ordinary walker. The first day I walked 5 miles around an indoor shopping mall. I was tired at the end of it. But something I could never have done before. I have used it on rough gr…
Fantastic…
Wonderfully easy to push and a real help in getting exercise. Love it! Colin…
Great choice…
The purchase was quick and easy, fast delivery and super easy assembly.
Highly recommended to all those who love to go for walks in the woods and fields!…
Marvellous…
I was bit sceptical about spending this much money but as they say you get what you pay for
I had fallen over a couple of times with a small wheel trolley that had got stuck in gravel and jarred me off the handles
Can't see that happening now I…
Remarkable...…
Sturdy, beautiful, simple to "assemble" (just attach the wheels) and a pleasure to use; enables me to walk my dog endlessly, whether on city streets or down country lanes, and even on the beach, in spite of the arthritis that has limited much of my d…
