Big disappointment!!!

Rating:

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!!

  • Game changer - simple as that…

    I’m a 56 year old, C5 incomplete with balance and endurance challenges. My wife and I live out in the country and honestly my ability to help her with the daily chores of country life since my trauma in July of 2020 has been almost nonexistent.

  • Free with the Veloped…

    Really! Finally, I can start walking again with my partner. The security that the Veloped gives me allows me to go to the beach and the lawns when I’m on vacation. At home, we walk along the river or in the forest. Enjoying nature together without he…

  • The best outdoor rollator on the market…

    The admittedly high expectations of the Veloped (see previous reviews) were easily fulfilled. No other rollator I know is as stable, safe and reliable as the Veloped and so qualified for use in the countryside, woods and forests.
    However, the high s…

    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.

  • A great product!…

    My Veloped was delivered very quickly, exactly as fast as advertised. Everything else is as well just as described. My multiple sclerosis limits my ability to walk, but my Veloped allows me to walk almost anywhere again. High sidewalks in the city or…

  • I feel safer and more independent!…

    I love my Veloped! I continue to go hiking and camping with my club (SCA). I can't hike like I did when I was younger but at least I can go farther with the Veloped on a reasonable trail. Never fails to move smoothly over rocks and bumpy ground.. …

  • Absolutely love my new Trionic 4 wheel……

    It’s so easy to walk with, the 14inch wheels are great for the smaller curbs.
    I like the way that the two front wheels are always together, it makes a huge difference.
    I would certainly recommend this product.

    The customer service I received was…
