What was your concern with this review?
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.
The sidewalks and walkways have either been covered in either 10 centimeters of snow slush or ice rink-style ice with caked-in tennis balls. Pedestrians have generally preferred walking in the actual streets to be able to get around, or clamped onto the building walls for support.
But not us! We have been able to navigate the sidewalks without any problems. The mobility in the cross leads to constant ground contact with all four wheels and adding the width of the Rolls to that, there has been no risk whatsoever of slipping or falling down.
We met a fellow sister among us walker-users, in a parking lot in the wet snow. She was dragging her walker, dragging because the wet snow had built up in front of the brake clamps and made it impossible for the wheels to rotate. Thankfully, the Walker 12 has disc brakes, so anything like that could never happen. The brakes always work in all conditions.
With the dogs in tow, I have walked along Lidingöloppet – a track in Lidingö – in loose and trampled snow. It works, even though it's strenuous, but would be completely impossible with another walker. The fact that there are ball bearings on the hubs and that the wheels are relatively big is probably part of the secret. The width of the walker is probably also a help.
If I could wish for anything, it would be a bigger loading space, but one can't have everything. I have acquired a roomy sport bag which fits the size of the seat perfectly, and I can keep it there fully packed when I walk, and when I need to sit, I just lift it off. With a strap around it, it holds steady.
I am more than happy with my purchase of Walker 12. It's a lot of money, but it's not the same thing as being expensive. If I keep another 10 years – and the Rolls also keeps that long without needing repairs – it will have cost me 83 SEK a month. I am so happy that I found and had the chance of getting it.

I am currently mostly housebound due to recovering from broken ankle and ribs! Also the recent weather has not helped as it has been wet and at times icy!

Never will I forego the great tool which has given me back so much joy of life! Because of multiple sclerosis I was unfortunately no longer able to move about in nature. This led to great annoyance for me during holidays on the North Sea. No walking …

We were looking for a product that is suitable for many grounds and street surfaces, has enough storage space for shopping and that is easy to use. The Veloped is all of this.

It's given my life a real lift! Last week I was able to go with my little grandchildren to a favourite beach which I had thought I would never be able to access again, we had such a lovely family day!

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…
