Hello! How can we help you?

What if I have trouble making turns and steering my Veloped?

The front climbing wheel offers two different settings with different characteristics:

  1. One wheel on the ground = Easy steering and climbing ability.
  2. Two wheels on the ground = Direction-steadiness (for running/very difficult terrain) and climbing ability.

Setting 'B' makes the Veloped difficult to turn.

If you prefer the easy steering mode, you can use the setting with only one wheel on the ground for all types of terrain.

Most certainly you have changed the setting and both front wheels are standing on the ground. Change the setting and make sure that the climbing wheel is set to easy steering mode.

It is vital that you do as follows to change to the easy steering mode:

  1. Turn the front wheel 180 degrees, so you have easier access to the adjustment handle.
  2. With your left hand, grab the left wheel and lift it off the ground.
  3. With your right hand, grab the red knob and pull it towards you.
  4. Push the 'triangular' adjustment arm as far to the bottom as possible. You should hear a 'clonk', metal against metal.
  5. Let go of the red knob and make sure that the adjustment arm is secured in its bottom position.
  6. There should be a gap of 1.5 cm between the first wheel (left) and the ground.

Here's a video showing the above:

If you do not lift the left wheel when changing the setting, the adjuster arm will not engage and both wheels remain on the ground.

  • Great Ferrari among the rollators…

    My mother, 84 years-old, can finally walk on the streets of the city again without pain in her shoulders and wrists. She doesn't feel the cobblestones at all. Overcoming train tracks is now child's play. With her previous rollator, which was not a st…

    After buying a Veloped Tour in 2014 I had no hesitation in purchasing the 9 er Rollator to help support me around the home. It is much sturdier than other walkers I have tried giving me the support to help with my balance and walking which is affecte…

  • 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 …

  • The Veloped, my support in life…

    I absolutely love it. It makes me dare get out for walks. I have balance difficulties, but the Veloped makes me not afraid of falling anymore. The fact that it's also good-looking doesn't make matters worse either.…

    After a few weeks of use, my foot no longer hits the front wheel and the problem I had with navigating the unit in tight corners in the climbing mode has ceased. I suppose it was simply a matter of accustoming myself to the unit that resolved these m…

    I’m 69. Sadly, cancer attacked my spine. I lost the ability to walk, had lots of treatment at Clatterbridge Liverpool, and then home physiotherapist visits. I’m now walking slowly.

    Had several walkers, none worked for me, but this one, on the cont…

  • Walker 12…

    I bought the Veloped Tour 1.5 years ago and I'm very happy with it. The only problem was that the trunk of our car was too small. So I bought a travel rollator (it's not that expensive). We went to the North Sea and the travel rollator didn't meet my…
