Trionic Veloped Sport

What was your concern with this review?

I have a rare neurological condition Hereditary Spastic Paresis which causes muscle stiffness, balance issues, and consequently mobility problems. I have used walking poles for the last couple of years but when I walk I no longer enjoy my surroundings as I am so busy looking at the ground and concentrating so I don't fall. I thought long and hard about buying a walker as it felt like giving in but I was equally fed up of hanging off my husband or treating a walk like a battle to stay upright rather than an enjoyable experience. After much research, I came across the Veloped and ordered it in July.

I can honestly say it has changed my life, I am learning to enjoy my walks and not stare at the ground constantly. I am getting used to steering it, I prefer 2 wheels down as it feels more stable and there is a definite knack to turning it in that mode, but the more I use it the better I get.

I am now walking every day and on the 8th of Oct, I start a 100-mile walking challenge to be completed in 4 weeks for MND research. I need to walk 3.2 miles every day over that period to reach my target which will be hard, I would never have considered this without my Veloped. I seriously cannot recommend the Veloped enough, I've got all the gadgets for it and love it. It has definitely been a big investment but worth every penny, life-changing in such a good way.

    I love my new walker. It is great going over grassy and rocky areas.

  • Great piece,…

    It's great to handle, but I should have measured the boot of my car beforehand, well, folding down the rear seats works too. Have I been travelling a lot? Unfortunately not, family matters on the one hand, staying in hospital on the other, etc. Next …

  • The best walker I've ever found.…

    My Walker is a high-quality product, which is very well thought out and easy to handle. Its robust appearance makes it seem very heavy, yet the opposite is true and one notices then that the construction is made of aluminium and is therefore very lig…
