What was your concern with this review?
I purchased my Veloped 14er in May and have found it to be a great product. The shipping was quick, the packaging sturdy and protective, and the Veloped came ready to go! I named her Vera.
Since the first day, the Veloped has transformed my life. I have a serious spinal condition that causes weakness in my legs and great difficulty in walking and Vera has helped me more than I imagined she could.
I didn’t want to look like an “old lady”, all hunched over with a typical walker – the Veloped encourages upright posture and feels supportive as you can push the seat forward over the basket and be “inside” the walking frame. This allows me to walk for fitness again, and to walk my dogs. A number of people have stopped me to say what an ingenious “rollator” it is and admire its quality and good looks.
I recently visited my daughter in Curaçao – the off-road walking conditions there are challenging – and the Veloped saw me through the walks we took with her three dogs. I was also able to go shopping and sightseeing for much longer periods of time than I have for some years, thanks to Vera’s support.
Travelling with Vera was a bit challenging but if everything is planned ahead, it’s doable. When flying, have the Veloped or its storage bag handle tagged at check-in and then fold it at the aircraft door for staff to put into the hold. You can ask for it to be tagged to be brought to the door of the aircraft at the end of the flight. I had a custom bag made for it to prevent damage (note: airlines do not care about fragile stickers so a custom bag is recommended – I suppose wrapping it in bubble wrap would protect it, too, but would be awkward to do at the aircraft door) and I spent a day before I left teaching myself how to fold the Veloped down and secure it in the said bag in under 4 minutes. This proved invaluable as I had 6 flights to take. If you are traveling alone and you would have trouble lifting 12 kilos, I would suggest booking assistance. Though I can do it myself, it was helpful to have ground staff assisting me with bagging the Veloped for every flight.
I can remove the front climbing wheel and place Vera into the back seat or rear space of our car without any trouble. If your car is very small, it might not be as easy, so check the dimensions before ordering.
I am grateful for being able to walk on uneven ground again, and am rebuilding my walking fitness – usually accompanied by my dogs.
Thanks to the team at Trionic!
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…

Beautiful walker. It runs very smoothly, and it is fantastic for walking. I can recommend this device any time. I would say that every part is worth its price. The only thing that bothers me is that the cork handles are always sticky to the touch. Wh…
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…
Superb product.…
I love my Veloped Sport 14er M. Without it I would struggle to even go out. Yes, they are expensive, but what price do you put on your health? I mostly use it to walk round our town but I have used it in my local wood where it was great. I recent…

Excellent design and build. Very easy to adapt handgrips angles and height for maximum comfort and tailored "fit".
Handles superbly, especially over uneven surfaces. The seat is comfortable to sit on and slides horizontally along the frame so that…
Perfect even on uneven ground…
My parents (both over 90 years old) are just learning to appreciate the new Walkers. The large wheels, in combination with the attachment of the steering wheels via toothed belts, allow for safe walking even on our uneven outdoor natural stone floori…
Upsala…
I can finally walk upright with my new walker and do not have to look at the ground to avoid potholes and the like. My young grandchildren call to each other to be quick to catch up with Oma. At 84 years old I find it a bit heavy to get into my boot,…
