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.
The people at Veloped have been patient…
The people at Veloped have been patient, kind and thorough throughout the process of deciding which one to buy and then starting to use it. I cannot rate them highly enough! And the machine is excellent. No adverse comments at all; just what I wanted…
Perfect for gravel roads…
Purchased this for my 88 year old mother. It works perfectly in our rural area. She can now navigate gravel roads with the large tires (the small plastic wheels on her old walker kept getting stuck). It looks good too! She enjoys the positive comm…

Meets my needs for support when walking. Very pleased with it. Especially useful over gravel surfaces…
Buying a ROLLATOR…
Did a brochure request which arrived promptly from Sweden - why can’t local companies manage this!
Realised I would be a questionable size in terms of fitting their machines. So I rang and got through almost immediately and had an extremely inform…
Love it!…
I already own a Veloped that I bought second-hand and use daily at our local country park so know how good the quality is and how useful they are. I wanted a smaller walker that would fit in the footwell of the car with the seat flipped up so I can t…
Independent walking again…
I have had my Veloped Tour for just over a month and am absolutely delighted with it. Apart from back issues which had limited my walking, this year I have a balance problem. The Trionic has enabled me to get back to enjoying the countryside both on …
Excellent bit of kit…
Excellent. From my previous average 20m range, the world has now expanded so much that I was able to take my youngest round the dinosaur museum (him sitting on the seat, facing forward, when he got tired).
I really cannot thank you enough.…
Thumbs Up for Veloped Trek…
I suffer from Kennedys Disease and my Veloped Trek has been invaluable to me. I have used it daily for the past 9 months and it has opened up the countryside to me. The Trek is an exceptionally well designed machine that works effortlessly over rough…
Awesome, awesome, amazing…
I've had it for a few days now and I'm absolutely amazed. It grinds through and over everything. I can cross the hills here in the Veluwe and through mud puddles. The Veloped is a real Rollator, expensive, but worth so much more if you can go out. Yo…
