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!!

A life changer!…
An absolute life changer, it’s brilliant!
The only downside was the strap which we broke the first time out, but that was not the fault of the walker!!!…

The pump is great. Small and delicate, but works perfectly. I just had to change the color to suit my taste.…
There is nothing better.…
I wouldn't want to be without my Veloped anymore. I have trouble walking, and I also have COPD, so it helps me there too, as it's very smooth and maneuverable.…
Stable freedom of movement with optimal braking…
Without a walker or two-sided crutches, I am permanently bound to a location. I have tried several rollators over the years, such as the Nitro, the Topro Troja and the Alevo Carbon.
The biggest weakness of all rollators are the brakes.

After our 86-year-old mother's walking radius decreased due to unsteady gait, and she could only move around outside the home with an escort, she considered – albeit very ambivalently – a mobility aid. A "regular" walker was out of the question for h…
Does the job…
Easy to fit, does the job perfectly well.
Arrived promptly and well packaged.…
Very stable even on bumpy terrain…
The Walker is very helpful on cobblestones and forest paths, yet still relatively light, and a bit bulky in the car boot.…
Glad I bought it!…
I am very pleased with my Veloped walker. It is easy to walk with it in the woods and I am able now to walk places I could not walk before. Very happy with my purchase.
