What was your concern with this review?
I thought for a long time about buying a Veloped and I decided to take the risk! I wanted it for my vacation in Spain: dry, rocky, stony, and mountainous terrain. Total fiasco! It is not suitable for all terrains as advertised. Difficulty: unable to pass on wet sand and gravel. Narrow paths, footbridges and bridges are impassable because the Veloped is too wide. Going up, down the stairs and overcoming the curbs is impossible, even pushing a little doesn't help. In the mountains, with a side slope, the Veloped is difficult to steer: the front wheels drift and it takes a lot of strength and effort to stay on track and to avoid ending up in the ditch. Driving both front wheels is extremely difficult because the steering is too hard and therefore impossible. I am not very strong physically and I am severely disabled, I was hoping for more relief, instead I reach my physical limits.
The handlebar of the Veloped is too short, not even a dog leash or a shopping bag can be hung on it. The basket is also too small!
Engaging the parking brake is very cumbersome, in fact you need both hands. In the mountains: hold the walker, hold the dog's leash, then put on the brakes too!
Transportation: it is too big for a normal car, then you no longer have space for your vacation suitcases. Added to this is the constant assembly and disassembly of the Veloped, which is very difficult to follow without a person to assist you!
Suitable for flat countryside, but you won't need it there: I have a Topro outdoor walker, which isn't bad either.
Overall, I am very disappointed and sadly I would not buy it back as my wishes remained unfulfilled. It's really a shame!!
Still grinnin' from ear to ear.…
It has been nearly nine months since I bought my Trionic Veloped, and it is still the best investment that I have ever made. Even though I can only walk short distances (Herniated disc at L4/L5, and osteoarthritis my in hips, as well as suffering fro…

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!
I have made about six or seven short walks from the house to local to our local roadway, wea…
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…
Walker 14, the more autonomy…
My husband has serious balance problems due to a progressive neuropathy, walking with a cane is too hesitant to take walks, the Walker 14 from Trionic solved this problem because it also allows to take stony and grassy paths. Even if the price is hig…
I can enjoy the outdoors again…
I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2012 and my balance and mobility are now at the stage where I feel much safer walking with a rollator. I have a fleet of them! One for airport use (really), one for city sidewalk use and now 2 for outdoor use. I…
Works wonderfully…
I am writing this review for my 95-year-old mother.
The Walker has significantly increased her mobility. Previously, she had considerable problems with the old cobblestones and unpaved paths in Lübeck. Now with her Walker, she can visit us again. T…
A rollator for life…
A rollator for life. I found it for my daughter. It's called Walker 14 and it's impressive, big tires, not wheels!
The one that circumnavigates all cliffs, came to my mind immediately.
But it also has room for all that solidity and precise tinkerin…
Great product…
I have the Walker 14er and love it for walking the dog as it goes anywhere. Bought this one to use when I go out shopping, etc. and am so pleased with it as I feel much safer when I use it. I do find it a little bit heavy but thoroughly recommend it…
The Amazing Trionic Walker 12er…
This Trionic Walker 12er is AMAZING. I just got it today 10/1/22, and it's flawless. I tested on my grassy, bumpy yard and indoor hardwood floors and carpet of my house. What a game changer!!! Finally, a walker that I can use with comfort and confide…
