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 wasnât 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 wasnât 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 Iâve 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. Iâve 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.

From the neighbor to your own Veloped…
Saw it at my neighbor's house and bought it because I was impressed by every aspect. It looks great, handles well (the brakes and function)âwhich is difficult to grasp for someone with dementia (in our case), but otherwise the brakes work perfectly. …
Excellent experience of Trionic and the Veloped Trek…
I have recently purchased a Veloped Trek directly from Trionic and have been delighted with the process and the product. Stefan at Trionic kept me updated about the shipping timescales, and the Veloped arrived on time, with full, clear, and easy to f…
Able to walk outdoors again…
The Trionic Veloped Sport was an excellent purchase. Because of cerebellar ataxia, I am no longer able to walk without a rollator. This device allows me to walk outdoors again, which is huge! It is worth every cent.…
Thanks…
Many thanks for making a truly great product, I have recently bought the 3/4 wheeled version and I have to say it has completely changed my life. I have used ordinary good quality rollators but could not take them for walks in the woods and sand, als…
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 set of wheels we could find.…
My wife's Trionic, as I call it, has exceeded our expectations and has given my wife freedom to roam and has coped with rough and uneven ground as though it was flat! Plus whenever she wants to rest, finds the seat comfortable.
We adjusted the h…
A great product.…
I am 93 and was always a lively walker until a problem with my legs occurred a few years ago. That resulted in my walking with a stick - not very satisfactory. Rollators are not so common in the UK, and when my Swedish relative suggested one, I r…
