What was your concern with this review?
I have a rare neurological condition Hereditary Spastic Paresis which causes muscle stiffness, balance issues, and consequently mobility problems. I have used walking poles for the last couple of years but when I walk I no longer enjoy my surroundings as I am so busy looking at the ground and concentrating so I don't fall. I thought long and hard about buying a walker as it felt like giving in but I was equally fed up of hanging off my husband or treating a walk like a battle to stay upright rather than an enjoyable experience. After much research, I came across the Veloped and ordered it in July.
I can honestly say it has changed my life, I am learning to enjoy my walks and not stare at the ground constantly. I am getting used to steering it, I prefer 2 wheels down as it feels more stable and there is a definite knack to turning it in that mode, but the more I use it the better I get.
I am now walking every day and on the 8th of Oct, I start a 100-mile walking challenge to be completed in 4 weeks for MND research. I need to walk 3.2 miles every day over that period to reach my target which will be hard, I would never have considered this without my Veloped. I seriously cannot recommend the Veloped enough, I've got all the gadgets for it and love it. It has definitely been a big investment but worth every penny, life-changing in such a good way.
Thank you…

Walker…
I love my new walker. It is great going over grassy and rocky areas.
The only issue that I have is when I put it into the back of my Subaru Impreza. It is somewhat hard to put it in and lay it down. Any suggestions?…
Independence Restored…
The Walker arrived very quickly and ready to use straight out of the box.
The manoeuvrability, easy adjustment, comfort of the handles and especially the 14inch wheels have restored a level of independence and security that I thought was gone foreve…
Perfect even on uneven ground…
My parents (both over 90 years old) are just learning to appreciate the new Walkers. The large wheels, in combination with the attachment of the steering wheels via toothed belts, allow for safe walking even on our uneven outdoor natural stone floori…
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…
