12er M/L REVIEW

Rating:

I got my Rollator back in May of this year.

On the plus side the vehicle is wonderfully made --- design, materials, craftsman, elegant looks. My primary requirements are: 1) a high quality elite machine, 2) exceptional wheels and brakes, both running brake and emergency brake, 3) an exceptional seat and backrest 4) pneumatic tires,, 5) comfort, both when walking and when seated.

I would grade the vehicle as follows: Requirements 1), 2), and 4) --- A++. I would grade 3) --- D. The seat is just too small to be useful. My cheap DRIVE Rollator has a larger seat that is safer and more comfortable. I think it would be easy to incorporate a proper size seat into the design of this machine. I would likewise grade 5) as a D. I rest my arms on the handlebars when I am seated. The brake hardware
on the top side of the bars makes resting the arms there very uncomfortable. I think a simple design change could also solve this issue.

Before it could be corrected a fistula in my lower back damaged or killed some nerves in my lower back. As a result my legs are partially crippled and loaded with neuropathy. As a result I have no walking balance. The vehicle really supports and helps me walk fairly normally.
I am going to try to modify the Walker to see if it can
meet my needs. In the meantime, it is sidelined, and I am looking for a new Walker. .

Sorry to grade the Walker with 4 Stars. When you fix these problems on new designs, I will change my rating.

    Very pleased with the Veloped Sport; it copes brilliantly with the rough paths and the autumn leaves in the local park.

  • Rain cover…

    What should I review?
    The cover is fine and stays secure even in thunderstorms and rain. Leaving it for days under the scorching sun is not good - there is a risk that it will crack.…

  • Not wanting to use a traditional walker…

    I'm a 73-year-old male. I have a long history of back problems. Until my most recent injury, I enjoyed long daily walks. I found that when using a grocery cart while shopping the support it gave me significantly reduced my discomfort.

    Very satisfied with my new walker, good functions and sturdy when walking.
    Folds up with ease but doesn’t stay together particularly well when lifting into the car.

  • Excellent…

    This is the best walker I've had. Love that it doesn't "shimmy" when I walk. Also, the brakes hold so much better than the pressure style.…
