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 cannot thank you all enough for my new Veloped Tour. It has opened up many things which I have been unable to do for the past 2 years. The main thing being country walks & trails, walking more than 3-4 kilometres which may not seem a lot but not b…
Trionic Walker…
We are delighted with the 12er S Walker. Well designed and beautifully made. The 4 wheels with linked steering give great stability yet have good maneuverability. We originally intended to buy the 14er with even bigger wheels as our drive has some de…
I am extremely happy with my 'Terminator', thank you.…
As you may remember I needed to adapt it to have forearm rests instead of handles and found the charity organisation 'Remap' here in the UK who were able to take the forearm rests from an old rollator (an indoor Topro) and put them on my lovely new T…
Brilliant Product…
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…
I am delighted with my Trionic…
I am delighted with my Trionic. I am 97 yrs old and can no longer walk unaided but the Trionic enables me to walk every day for up to 1.5 miles. It is so easy to prepare for going out, in particular going to my local shops. My daughter takes me to a …
The assembly was easy and quick…
The first ride with the Veloped was fantastic. We were able to walk with my mother again on paths in the forest, which was where we had last walked together years ago. This was simply not possible with the standard walker. There were also no problems…
Excellent…
This is the best walker I've had. Love that it doesn't "shimmy" when I walk. Also, the brakes hold so much better than the pressure style.…
Great…
After transverse myelitis, among other things, my foot lift is disturbed, walking is now a conscious process and no longer an automatic one.
With this Veloped, I can finally walk again more safely. Great!…
