Big disappointment!!!

What was your concern with this review?

I thought for a long time about buying a Veloped and I decided to take the risk! I wanted it for my vacation in Spain: dry, rocky, stony, and mountainous terrain. Total fiasco! It is not suitable for all terrains as advertised. Difficulty: unable to pass on wet sand and gravel. Narrow paths, footbridges and bridges are impassable because the Veloped is too wide. Going up, down the stairs and overcoming the curbs is impossible, even pushing a little doesn't help. In the mountains, with a side slope, the Veloped is difficult to steer: the front wheels drift and it takes a lot of strength and effort to stay on track and to avoid ending up in the ditch. Driving both front wheels is extremely difficult because the steering is too hard and therefore impossible. I am not very strong physically and I am severely disabled, I was hoping for more relief, instead I reach my physical limits.

The handlebar of the Veloped is too short, not even a dog leash or a shopping bag can be hung on it. The basket is also too small!
Engaging the parking brake is very cumbersome, in fact you need both hands. In the mountains: hold the walker, hold the dog's leash, then put on the brakes too!
Transportation: it is too big for a normal car, then you no longer have space for your vacation suitcases. Added to this is the constant assembly and disassembly of the Veloped, which is very difficult to follow without a person to assist you!
Suitable for flat countryside, but you won't need it there: I have a Topro outdoor walker, which isn't bad either.

Overall, I am very disappointed and sadly I would not buy it back as my wishes remained unfulfilled. It's really a shame!!

  • 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.

    It is brilliant. I am the envy of everyone who sees it. I broke two of the other types before getting the Trionic. It gives me the confidence to get out and live the life I wanted to. Thanks.…
