What was your concern with this review?
First impression: very sturdy private jet construction handsomely finished. Frame does not wiggle and feels very rigid. My only questionmark is that the wheels are not made of metal but kinda plastic. The hub caps loosen easily, need some superglue. I know that most shopping trolleys have plastic wheels instead of metal wheels, but I am not totally convinced about the durability of a rollator of this kind. Well, time will tell.
The problem with the frontwheels section adjuster is that it tended to slide either in the upper or lower position, as the pull-out lock did not stay put well. As I mainly use the Veloped in neutral position, I drilled a hole in the sliding adjuster to secure it with a bolt, which works perfectly. I would suggest Trionix design/engineering simply remove the terrain slider from the manufacturing at all, or simplify the adjuster not using a slider but a simple handle. Less is more.
As for the overall experience, the outward camber of the rearwheels making the overall balance more stable. Good for rally, or just for crosswind landing after a turbulent flight :-)
I removed the sliding seat in order to make room for a removable shopping-basket or photocamera backback. The walking-stick holder is very handy for transporting a camera tripod.
I have learned that making turns by using the arms like on a steeringwheel is not as easy as simply turning the body between the rearwheels. I keep the frontwheels in the middle neutral position between offroad and city, for a relaxed steering experience both in the shopping mall, on the sidewalk, and in the forest.
This Veloped is for me the perfect rehab aid to improve walking again.
The Veloped does attract headturns from curious insta people. I no longer limp with a stick, and so I started walking from day-1 with this machine. It is fun, looks cool, no longer disturbed by my disability, doesn't look like a budget walker, rather a super modern extension that leaves all rollators far back in the future.
Happy Customer…
Good Morning, just thought I would let you know how your product has made my Dad's life so fulfilling.
He is 93 years old, hearing impaired and has very little sight due to macular degeneration. He has also suffered two recent strokes. So things lik…
Worth Every Penny - Best "Walker" on the Market…
I had been looking for a walker with larger, rubber tube tires forever it seemed. The small, hard, plastic tires on all walkers are only good for very short distances on even surfaces. Then I saw this product and I chatted and spoke to the company …
Amazing !!!…
This thing is everything you advertise it to be. I haven’t had a stroll in the woods in over four years, my favorite place. This thing has done more for my depression and peace of mind than it has done for increased mobility. It is so sturdy it gives…
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…
My new sense of balance…
My father-in-law is 86 years young and has visual and balance problems. When he walks (like a penguin), with his legs apart and with splayed arms, he has to concentrate very hard on his balance, which makes him so fatigued that he starts to falter af…
Best friend…
I miss my super strong legs, being able to walk many kilometers in forest terrain without getting tired. Being able to go for long, long walks with my dog. Being able to walk with long strides and enjoy nature.
I will never walk that fast again, but…
Love it!…
I already own a Veloped that I bought second-hand and use daily at our local country park so know how good the quality is and how useful they are. I wanted a smaller walker that would fit in the footwell of the car with the seat flipped up so I can t…
A WONDERFUL PURCHASE…
In common with one of your other reviewers, I suffer from peripheral neuropathy, resulting in a severe loss of sense of balance. Since the delivery of the Walker 12er several weeks ago my life has improved immensely. I now find that walking, which I …
