Too big for urban environment

Rating:

What was your concern with this review?

I bought a Veloped with 14-inch wheels. As an off-road walker, it is the best.

But it is simply too large for an urban environment. I have major problems going through store doors with it. Using it on an urban sidewalk also is not easy due to its extra width.

While the unit folds up for storage and transport, it tends to open up. I had to create my own velcro latch to keep it closed.

Part of me would return it due to the size, except it is the only walker I found that works well on sand.

    Hi,
    I just got back from a walk here in Sundsvall close to the new E4 bridge by the bay.
    The bridge won't be finished until 2014, so here there are temporary dirt roads mixed with paved segments. The Veloped worked just perfectly. I was out 45 minu…

  • Perfect aid for rehab…

    First impression: very sturdy private jet construction handsomely finished. Frame does not wiggle and feels very rigid. My only questionmark is that the wheels are not made of metal but kinda plastic. The hub caps loosen easily, need some superglue. …

  • 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.…
