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.
Walker - from Sweden…
The Veloped Sport M 14er arrived in Travermünde on the Baltic Sea in early March 2021.
It enriched my life. By this I mean that I can walk again. I am an 80-year-old woman, and I would have liked to still be active and always around.
Thanks to th…
Happy with the Veloped Trek 14 L…
We bought the Veloped Trek 14 L recently. It was great how quickly it was delivered and my husband was able to put it together without any problems.
As he has a lower leg implant, he can't normally walk very long without the need to rest repeatedly …

I have had my Veloped Sport since mid April of this year and it has been fantastic! The ordering and delivery service was easy and quick and, when it arrived, we were immediately impressed with the design, construction and way in which it comes apart…

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…
Overall, I am satisfied.…
I am 86-year-old and weigh 58 kg.
The device looks good (to be envious), is well thought out and easy to assemble. What struck me:
The heavy strain on the arm muscles
- on uneven forest paths,
- on inclines (effort needed to push uphill and to h…
Excellent Walker…
This walker really does work exceptionally well. Very pleased with it. It lives in the back of our SUV and is used any time Ann has to walk more than a short distance.
It doubles up as a seat with the right height to get in and out of as opposed…
Walker 14er Happiness…
I bought the Walker 14er for my husband (who didn’t think his mobility was bad enough to warrant a walking aid. However, I thought differently.) After using it for less than five minutes he absolutely loved it and it’s changed his mobility completely…
Finally a stable rollator…
Finally a stable rollator that is big enough, doesn't get stuck everywhere and has good brakes. My husband is relieved and enjoys walking more safely with it. Unfortunately, he has fallen several times with previous standard rollators, e.g. getting s…
