It has made my world bigger!

What was your concern with this review?

I'm a 62-year-old woman from the Netherlands and last year I suffered a CVA, which caused my right side to be permanently unusable. So since then, I have been stuck in a wheelchair.

During the last year, I went through therapy to try and recover some use/movement of my right arm and leg. During the therapy, I met a fellow patient who had a lot of benefits from a Trionic Veloped to help him walk again.
As it turns out, the Trionic Veloped is the only walker you can use with one hand.

Its all-terrain wheels make it possible to walk everywhere – on uneven pavement, curbs, and cobbles and get by with limited ability in one of the legs.

I asked for information directly from Stephan at Trionic, and he answered all my questions very kindly and directly over both mail and telephone. We were able to put together a Veloped Tour for me to try.

It arrived duly, perfectly packed, and turned out to be easy for me to assemble.
Then I went to work!

Over the past two months having worked with the Veloped, which I had named 'Thomas' (the tank engine), I can honestly say it has changed my world. From being someone in a wheelchair to someone who stands and engages with other people on their eye level again.
The Veloped has me walking upright again!

For shopping, a doctor's appointment, or just to go for a walk with friends for fun! In shopping centres, a park or sightseeing. I can take it into restaurants and theatres easily.

It will take from work from you, as you will have to practice on the Veloped daily, but you will find improvements in your capabilities daily.

For anyone living in the Netherlands, who wants to know and has one-sided paraplegia, I would be happy to share experiences. I am sure Stefan at Trionic can put us in contact.

    The Trionic 12er is a very stylish and sturdy successor for my husband's previous walker. It looks weightier in design than previous models but is in fact unbelievably light in handling.

  • Trionic 9er…

    The 9er is extremely helpful and. Manoeuvrable around the the house, helping to take the weight off my severely arthritic ankles and feet. If I am outside and chat to anyone it is wonderful to be able to sit down on the built in seat.

  • Great for accessibility…

    My Veloped Trek has begun to change my life. My service dog and I can go for long walks or short ones. When I feel the most off balance, I use the Veloped because it provides me more stability than other walkers.

  • 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…

  • The best walker out there…

    I have tried the conventional walkers, but none of them compares to the Trionic Walker. This is by far the best in the market; glides over all terrains with the greatest of ease. I would and have recommended this item to all my friends. Thank you so …
