Is great to drive, but it is sometimes difficult to use

What was your concern with this review?

My father (79 years old) has become severely visually impaired after a stroke and, unfortunately, has a disturbance in the perception on the left half of his body. He is very happy driving the Walker, thanks to the very large tires, and he also likes its elegant look. Although he rarely goes out when there is little light, I like that, thanks to the many reflectors, he is well visible in the dark.

He already had an outdoor model with the Dietz Taima XC, but he had had problems with the wobbly front wheels...

The driving characteristics of the Walker deserve five stars or even more. From my father's point of view, however, I must report that there are potential improvements for users with limitations.

For example, it happened that, while lifting the walker, it folded slightly on itself and the strap between the front wheels also came off. Fortunately, a passer-by was able to give him a hand.

Even using the parking brake is a problem for my father. I must continually re-explain to him how to use the little red lever.

The handles are not completely fixed, so they often tend to move slightly inwards or outwards.

At these points, unfortunately, the Walker lags behind conventional models. There is still room for improvement. A clearly audible click or a signal would help to figure out when the rollator is properly folded and when it is ready to be driven.

  • Excellent piece of kit…

    I bought the Walker to compliment the Veloped I already own. I use the veloped for fishing and shooting and "rough" walking. The Walker on the other hand I'm using on tarmac and designated walk ways. I find the Walker very stable and with 14" whee…

    I’m 37 with primary progressive multiple sclerosis. I’ve been using rollator walkers for 3-4 years. They are great for indoors but lack completely when the ground is anything but smooth.

    To stay mobile, I need to walk regularly. I searched for a …

  • For my 95 Year Old Mother…

    I purchased the Veloped Trek 14er for my mother, who is 95, and recently moved to our rural home where there are no paved walkways. The Veloped had enabled her to manoeuvre over loose gravel and grass ground independently. I like everything about it;…

    My husband has osteoporosis of the spine. Purchasing the Trionic Veloped has made a wonderful difference to both our lives. My husband can now step out and walk in a much more upright position. I no longer have the anxiety that he may fall, or that w…

  • “To Boldly Go Where No Rollator Has Gone Before”…

    I bought a Veloped Tour (with 12-inch wheels) online from Trionic in May 2020 for my 86-year-old father. To everyone’s delight, my father was immediately able to walk much faster, much further, and much more easily than before.

    One of the specific…

  • Great for all terrains…

    I have used Veloped (even gave it a personal name) on trails of various difficulties, and also, on different types of payment. The 14 inch wheels have no problems navigating larger rocks on trails or curbs in the city. I especially liked the front tw…

    Very good, in-depth and quick consultation in chat, always very friendly, quick delivery, easy to understand and punctual, all additional parts were mounted on the Veloped, only the tyres had to be attached. The Veloped is just great; my daughter onc…
