What was your concern with this review?
I have a rare neurological condition Hereditary Spastic Paresis which causes muscle stiffness, balance issues, and consequently mobility problems. I have used walking poles for the last couple of years but when I walk I no longer enjoy my surroundings as I am so busy looking at the ground and concentrating so I don't fall. I thought long and hard about buying a walker as it felt like giving in but I was equally fed up of hanging off my husband or treating a walk like a battle to stay upright rather than an enjoyable experience. After much research, I came across the Veloped and ordered it in July.
I can honestly say it has changed my life, I am learning to enjoy my walks and not stare at the ground constantly. I am getting used to steering it, I prefer 2 wheels down as it feels more stable and there is a definite knack to turning it in that mode, but the more I use it the better I get.
I am now walking every day and on the 8th of Oct, I start a 100-mile walking challenge to be completed in 4 weeks for MND research. I need to walk 3.2 miles every day over that period to reach my target which will be hard, I would never have considered this without my Veloped. I seriously cannot recommend the Veloped enough, I've got all the gadgets for it and love it. It has definitely been a big investment but worth every penny, life-changing in such a good way.

I got this for my dad. He’s over 80yo and can still walk well with the assistance of a cane but uses one for safety. He loves his 14” walker for its comfortable seat, great breaks, and air-filled tires and suspension system that greatly reduce vibrat…

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…
Great product…
I have the Walker 14er and love it for walking the dog as it goes anywhere. Bought this one to use when I go out shopping, etc. and am so pleased with it as I feel much safer when I use it. I do find it a little bit heavy but thoroughly recommend it…
The Veloped in south-west Germany (Black Forest)…
I am very enthusiastic about my Veloped. As I am almost 87 years old and unfortunately can no longer walk in the woods with Nordic walking poles, my daughter was looking for a real alternative to the ‘normal’ walker and she found it very quickly, she…

I have an incurable neurological……
I have an incurable neurological disorder that affects (mostly) my balance. I cannot walk at all without hanging on to something. Having led a very active life (I'm now 76) this was obviously a serious setback. After using my first (borrowed) walk…
Gave me my independence back!…
The Trionic 14” wheel walker has given me back the independence I had lost for years. For years I had to hold on to others if there was uneven ground, gravel or sand to walk on and just avoided those surfaces as I need to stop and sit regularly and i…
No problems at the beach…
Hi, I'm Tom (37) from Veenendaal (the Netherlands).
I have always been fit and healthy until 2 years ago. An accident at work put an end to that. I am now in an inexplicable pain that can’t be explained. After using some granny rollators, I found …
FANTASTIC!!…
I purchased the Veloped because I have significant issues with balance and instability in my knees due to arthritis that result in a high risk for falling. These issues had severely limited me from outdoor activities like going to the beach just enjo…
