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.

I would recommend the Veloped to anyone who wants to stay active in the outdoors. It is very well built and operates exactly as I expected.

I am delighted with my Trionic. I am 97 yrs old and can no longer walk unaided but the Trionic enables me to walk every day for up to 1.5 miles. It is so easy to prepare for going out, in particular going to my local shops. My daughter takes me to a …

Last week my husband asked me for a rollator that he had otherwise strictly rejected. On the Internet I quickly came across the company Trionic. The communication with Mr. Kindberg via chat and phone was great. Ordered on Tuesday and assembled on Thu…
Freedom machine…
Bought for my mother who had cancer which was moving into the spine. She was never happy with anything but this machine was different. She called it her freedom machine and she went from not walking anywhere to walking to the local farm shop across g…
I'm absolutely delighted with my Walker.…
The design is perfect, I think, most importantly because it allows me to walk in an upright posture, thus easing lower back & shoulder pain. Its very sturdy construction has helped my balance a lot, & I feel much more secure when out walking, & able …
Finally one that does what it should.…
I now own three rollators. This is my first one from Trionic. The first rollator from another company sounded like clanging metal as I walked along. It also got caught on all the broken pavements where I live and was therefore unstable. The second on…
Genial…
I am completely satisfied with my Veloped. From the first day it felt familiar and increased my ability to move.
I couldn't help but test the Veloped in the most difficult terrain conditions. A very steep narrow forest path with deeply washed-out…
