Product Review

Is great to drive, but it is sometimes difficult to use

What was your concern with this review?

My father (79 years old) has become severely visually impaired after a stroke and, unfortunately, has a disturbance in the perception on the left half of his body. He is very happy driving the Walker, thanks to the very large tires, and he also likes its elegant look. Although he rarely goes out when there is little light, I like that, thanks to the many reflectors, he is well visible in the dark.

He already had an outdoor model with the Dietz Taima XC, but he had had problems with the wobbly front wheels...

The driving characteristics of the Walker deserve five stars or even more. From my father's point of view, however, I must report that there are potential improvements for users with limitations.

For example, it happened that, while lifting the walker, it folded slightly on itself and the strap between the front wheels also came off. Fortunately, a passer-by was able to give him a hand.

Even using the parking brake is a problem for my father. I must continually re-explain to him how to use the little red lever.

The handles are not completely fixed, so they often tend to move slightly inwards or outwards.

At these points, unfortunately, the Walker lags behind conventional models. There is still room for improvement. A clearly audible click or a signal would help to figure out when the rollator is properly folded and when it is ready to be driven.

  • Truly superior…

    Our son is very happy with this high-quality rollator. The very good brakes in combination with the large pneumatic wheels give him much more safety than he had with previous rollators. The handles are also much better than on his former ones. The sy…

  • Mrs Lorraine Bone…

    The Veloped has been everything I hoped for. At only 59 I was keen to have something that looked modern and trendy whilst still providing me with the support I need when walking. I have used it for short trips to the shop and also on a riverside walk…

  • Mrs V Potts…

    I purchased this for my husband, but he will not use it, don't know why as he hardly walks anywhere as he is not very steady on his feet. Having said that I keep thinking I will make use of it myself. At the moment I have only moved it a short way, b…

  • A rollator for life…

    A rollator for life. I found it for my daughter. It's called Walker 14 and it's impressive, big tires, not wheels!
    The one that circumnavigates all cliffs, came to my mind immediately.
    But it also has room for all that solidity and precise tinkerin…

  • Real quality of life improvement…

    This rollator is infinitely better designed and made than my previous one, and well worth the much higher price...

    I can use it on uneven ground for walks on fields and river banks, and I am finding I take bigger steps and stand more upright, thus…

  • Fits perfectly…

    The pump fits the tyres perfectly and inflates them with minimal effort.

    Folded up, the pump can be stored in any backpack or can be attached directly to the Veloped with the supplied material. In this case, it is not the pump that is attached, b…

  • This walker has given me my life back……

    I have really bad balance and my walker with 12” wheels gives me a great feeling of stability. I also obedience train a golden retriever and this walker has made it easier to walk on grass with her. The other thing it is so much easier due to its lig…
