What was your concern with this review?
I'm a 62-year-old woman from the Netherlands and last year I suffered a CVA, which caused my right side to be permanently unusable. So since then, I have been stuck in a wheelchair.
During the last year, I went through therapy to try and recover some use/movement of my right arm and leg. During the therapy, I met a fellow patient who had a lot of benefits from a Trionic Veloped to help him walk again.
As it turns out, the Trionic Veloped is the only walker you can use with one hand.
Its all-terrain wheels make it possible to walk everywhere – on uneven pavement, curbs, and cobbles and get by with limited ability in one of the legs.
I asked for information directly from Stephan at Trionic, and he answered all my questions very kindly and directly over both mail and telephone. We were able to put together a Veloped Tour for me to try.
It arrived duly, perfectly packed, and turned out to be easy for me to assemble.
Then I went to work!
Over the past two months having worked with the Veloped, which I had named 'Thomas' (the tank engine), I can honestly say it has changed my world. From being someone in a wheelchair to someone who stands and engages with other people on their eye level again.
The Veloped has me walking upright again!
For shopping, a doctor's appointment, or just to go for a walk with friends for fun! In shopping centres, a park or sightseeing. I can take it into restaurants and theatres easily.
It will take from work from you, as you will have to practice on the Veloped daily, but you will find improvements in your capabilities daily.
For anyone living in the Netherlands, who wants to know and has one-sided paraplegia, I would be happy to share experiences. I am sure Stefan at Trionic can put us in contact.
Simply superb!…
I have the Veloped 12 M and I'm extremely happy with it. I have muscular dystrophy, so walking is pure hell for me. We live in the countryside – country lanes, woods, and our garden are our home. Unfortunately, this is almost impossible for me with a…
Streets paved with old cobblestones…
My husband had fallen a few times in the last few months, but he still refused to use a rollator. That's why I looked around for a better one than the ones usually offered in German medical shops. I found the Walker and suggested it to my husband. He…
I am very satisfied…
I am very satisfied with the Trionic which I use everyday, both on ordinary roads, across fields, through woods, along paths with bumps and roots and so on, and it does its work with ease.…
Thoughtful walker for terrain and everyday use…
Trionic makes thoughtfully designed walkers adapted for terrain and everyday use.
Built-in features that make it easier to get over curbs, for example, are missing from other walkers, but Trionic has solved this in a smart way.…
Really helps me to get about outdoors.…
The only drawback is it is difficult for me to lock the seat in position. My husband has to do it for me. Without him, I would have to always have it set up and not folded.…
Excellent lights…

Trionic means freedom for me.…
As an enthusiastic walker who also likes to travel with my dog through woods and meadows, I had to give up this pleasure at some point because of my progressive muscle disease. A rollator I bought from another Scandinavian brand was able to maintain …
Outstanding…
Although the Veloped Tour is an expensive investment, it is well worth it.
It has given me mobility that no other rollator provides. I can now navigate uneven terrain, cobble stone streets, curbs and even pot holes with ease. I intend to take it wit…
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…
