Veloped - An Absolute Necessity!

Rating:

What was your concern with this review?

In 2011, I was cycling to the bus station to take a bus into Manchester where I worked. I was hit by a car driven by a 74-year-old man who wasn’t looking for a cyclist (I had right of way!) and he struck me as he turned in front of me. My head struck his windscreen and I was thrown over his car. Luckily it happened in front of a CCTV camera because he would have lied to the police and blamed me. I was badly injured and spent 8 months in two hospitals and a rehabilitation centre.

I could not go back to work and cannot work again as a result of my injuries. A serious head injury meant that my walking was very unsteady and still is. It wasn’t until I found the Veloped online and bought one (the Veloped Tour, I think), that I was able to go out again.

By this time, I had a dog and we began to go out together, once a day, in the mornings, for a walk. I live in the Peak District National Park where there are plenty of hills and slopes. There are no pavements for me to use but I have used the Veloped where I’ve had to go up and down pavements. It is so easy to use when there is no dropped kerb, thanks to the patented double wheel at the front. It certainly makes life easy for me.

I love using my Veloped because it makes walking much easier for me. It has plenty of space for me to carry things like a box of tissues for myself, a water bottle for my dog, binoculars for cuckoo and other bird-spotting, a mosquito net for help with midges, waterproof gloves, etc. I’ve bought rear lights for the Veloped so that I can be seen if a car approaches. I have my front light which lets me be seen by cyclists too. Having a Veloped to use really makes living life better. I would recommend having a Veloped to anyone who needs it.

    I am very pleased with the Veloped Sport; it has helped my walking and my back a lot. It is heavier than I had expected especially pushing it uphill. However, at 90, it has given me a new lease of life.…

  • Finally walking again…

    Since my mom got this walker, she's been going for walks again. It was one of the best investments she's ever made for her health. She's happy every time someone asks her about her walker and her range has expanded many times over.

  • Works exactly how it was designed…

    I bought the rain cover not to protect the Veloped from getting wet, rather to keep debris that could collect on it inside the garage.…

    I have two little dogs who are older, just like their owner. So, I was looking for something that would suit the three of us.
    It had to be all-terrain and have a large basket.

    I searched the internet and found what I was looking for at the Swedis…

  • 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 Trionic has changed my life.

    I love the outdoors, and a recent holiday to Dorset meant that i could walk places with my partner that I've not been able to access in years, because of my arthritis, and other walkers were not up to the job. The …

    I made the inaugural run recently in Cumbria on a fairly rough and, in part, sloping surface. It performed quite well although considerable effort was necessary to counter the tendency to veer in the direction of slope. However, given my physical dis…
