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.

I am delighted with my Trionic. I am 97 yrs old and can no longer walk unaided but the Trionic enables me to walk every day for up to 1.5 miles. It is so easy to prepare for going out, in particular going to my local shops. My daughter takes me to a …

The first ride with the Veloped was fantastic. We were able to walk with my mother again on paths in the forest, which was where we had last walked together years ago. This was simply not possible with the standard walker. There were also no problems…

My Walker is a high-quality product, which is very well thought out and easy to handle. Its robust appearance makes it seem very heavy, yet the opposite is true and one notices then that the construction is made of aluminium and is therefore very lig…

Absolutely delighted with my Trionic Veloped Tour that I purchased recently. It has been an absolute boon and I’m now able to get around cut more easily than ever before. The fact that it is an all terrain walker, means that from pavement, to cobbles…

This walker is a real help. Especially when both front wheels run together, I feel well guided while walking straight, and this is important because I am having balance problems and without it, I would easily stumble. Near where I live there are bump…

I searched the web and contacted Australian mobility aids companies trying to find an 'off road' rollator for my husband to use it around the house paddock on the farm. While he has a quad bike, ute and tractor for getting around, the farm, he'd had …

I was cautious to buy due to the price. I tried others in the shop (UK) and was appalled by the wobbly feelings they induce in me.
I wanted something stable, easy to take on the UK (stagecoach) buses and would accommodate my arthritic Pomeranian.…
