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.
Walker 14er, the more autonomy…
My husband has serious balance problems due to a progressive neuropathy, walking with a cane is too hesitant to take walks, the Walker 14 from Trionic solved this problem because it also lets him take stony and grassy paths. Even if the price is high…
Superb Machine…
Fed up with supplied walker I invested in the Veloped to have better stability and easier movement over uneven ground. Also require it for fishing trips (fly-fishing on rivers) where I can take over rough ground. It allows me to get more exercise too…
Great service, fast delivery and a tremendous life changing product.…
I bought this after being introduced to it by a friend who had bought one. We both have MS and I have found the Veloped to be life-changing for me. I am more confident when walking both on and off road and I feel that I am getting a small amount of m…
Best Purchase…
This was money well spent. I use this every day and I can go anywhere with it. I have gone on remote trails and sandy beaches. Everywhere I go people ask about this Veloped. If you want your independence back, buy one of these.…
Thank you for giving freedom back to my husband…
My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2005 and as the symptoms progressed, his mobility and confidence to get out and walk diminished. He had been using ski-pole type sticks and although successful a few years ago, they no longer give enough …
Given me my life back…
I have the Veloped with two sets of wheels, 12” and 14”. I use the 12” for day to day & travel. It's a bit easier to get in and out of the car and tight spaces. The 14” are for serious walking including the four marathons, 8-10 half marathons and num…
Quality…
The Veloped is actually intended for my wife, but occasionally I use it too (92). Our satisfaction is probably best expressed by the fact that we will probably buy another one.
Sincerely,

Brilliant!…
The Veloped Sport is an absolutely brilliant machine which has completely changed my life.
I had another make of four wheeled walker, which was not comfortable to use and if I hit a small obstacle it felt as though I would go over the top of it.

Goethe garden house and my Trionic…
On August 28, 2021, I was in Weimar with my daughter, exactly on her and Goethe’s birthday! A beautiful path led to Goethe’s garden house. Because there were no seats nearby, that day I had to stop every few meters and gasp for air. How much I wished…
