What was your concern with this review?
First impression: very sturdy private jet construction handsomely finished. Frame does not wiggle and feels very rigid. My only questionmark is that the wheels are not made of metal but kinda plastic. The hub caps loosen easily, need some superglue. I know that most shopping trolleys have plastic wheels instead of metal wheels, but I am not totally convinced about the durability of a rollator of this kind. Well, time will tell.
The problem with the frontwheels section adjuster is that it tended to slide either in the upper or lower position, as the pull-out lock did not stay put well. As I mainly use the Veloped in neutral position, I drilled a hole in the sliding adjuster to secure it with a bolt, which works perfectly. I would suggest Trionix design/engineering simply remove the terrain slider from the manufacturing at all, or simplify the adjuster not using a slider but a simple handle. Less is more.
As for the overall experience, the outward camber of the rearwheels making the overall balance more stable. Good for rally, or just for crosswind landing after a turbulent flight :-)
I removed the sliding seat in order to make room for a removable shopping-basket or photocamera backback. The walking-stick holder is very handy for transporting a camera tripod.
I have learned that making turns by using the arms like on a steeringwheel is not as easy as simply turning the body between the rearwheels. I keep the frontwheels in the middle neutral position between offroad and city, for a relaxed steering experience both in the shopping mall, on the sidewalk, and in the forest.
This Veloped is for me the perfect rehab aid to improve walking again.
The Veloped does attract headturns from curious insta people. I no longer limp with a stick, and so I started walking from day-1 with this machine. It is fun, looks cool, no longer disturbed by my disability, doesn't look like a budget walker, rather a super modern extension that leaves all rollators far back in the future.
My Rolls Royce…
My Rolls Royce – a.k.a. Walker 12 – and me have now together undergone the ultimate test, namely the Stockholm winter 2018-2019 with snow plowing à la Stockholm municipality.

I cannot thank you all enough for my new Veloped Tour. It has opened up many things which I have been unable to do for the past 2 years. The main thing being country walks & trails, walking more than 3-4 kilometres which may not seem a lot but not b…

I love my veloped because I go out a lot with my dogs, they can sit in it, the two are older and sometimes they don't want to walk anymore, then they can sit in it, I attached a basket with tension straps to the seat, the second dog can sit in it and…
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.. …
Exactly what we were looking for!!…
The first thing I bought was the Veloped Tour version for my mother and I was very pleasantly surprised! The quality is a laugh compared to the rollator you are currently using. Now I have commissioned the second one for my father. I will definitely …
Thumbs Up for Veloped Trek…
I suffer from Kennedys Disease and my Veloped Trek has been invaluable to me. I have used it daily for the past 9 months and it has opened up the countryside to me. The Trek is an exceptionally well designed machine that works effortlessly over rough…
A winning vehicle through and through!…
This was said by the two-wheel specialist from Luneburg who recommended its purchase to me, and who emphasised the quality of the workmanship, the excellent braking system and the first-class components (brake levers, etc.).…
Quality…
The Veloped is actually intended for my wife, but occasionally I use it too (92). Our satisfaction is probably best expressed by the fact that we will probably buy another one.
Sincerely,

Thank you for sending the back cushion for my new Veloped. It fits perfectly between the brake levers and provides much-needed comfort when sitting on the lower back.
At this early stage, I am thrilled with how my Veloped makes walking more access…
