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.
Very good…
The Walker 14er helps me a lot (balance disorder due to ataxia). Apart from the large tyres, which make it easier to overcome obstacles, I particularly like the flexible suspensions of the wheels on the left and right, which decisively improve the gr…
Finally…
The Veloped allows me to go out again.
It is stable and has maximum off-road mobility. Very important for me is the possibility to rest now and then.
I would definitely buy it again.
The cane holder is very practical.…
I have been meaning to write for some time to thank you!…
I have been meaning to write for some time to thank you for all the help my Veloped gives me - I use it for hanging out the washing and fetching peat from the shed as well as walking on the mostly rough terrain here on the Isle of Barra in the Wester…
Great experience all the way around!…
I've taken my trek miles on the desert and it'll go anywhere. The training is bringing me to the point where I can walk without it. Even when I had flats from goathead thorns--the bane of all OTR cyclists--they were easily fixed at a bike store. Trio…
A whole new quality of life for my husband with Parkinson's disease…
Last week my husband asked me for a rollator that he had otherwise strictly rejected. On the Internet I quickly came across the company Trionic. The communication with Mr. Kindberg via chat and phone was great. Ordered on Tuesday and assembled on Thu…

I am 75 years old and I suffer from osteoarthritis, diabetes, and a heart issue. About six months ago, my wife and I decided to purchase a rollator from a well-known UK company. It was large and sturdy in design and I started using it and yes, it did…
Veloped…
I am very satisfied, my expectations were fully met. I no longer want to live without my Veloped!
On vacation, a nature camp, it was a great help.
1. the all-terrain gear makes walking in rough terrain much easier.
2. walking at night without pay…
Real quality of life improvement…
This rollator is infinitely better designed and made than my previous one, and well worth the much higher price...
I can use it on uneven ground for walks on fields and river banks, and I am finding I take bigger steps and stand more upright, thus…
