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 and stoney pathways, over grass and uneven surfaces it takes them all in its stride. Would thoroughly recommend as it is light enough for me to lift to put in the car without any undue effort. A big plus in my estimation, especially as you get older and don’t have quite the same strength and often no one around to assist you. Having such taken it with me on a trip to Scotland, our driver, when loading it into his vehicle, called it ‘The Lamborghini’ edition of a walker. A worthy compliment indeed.

I'll just tell you about my experiences :))
Everything positive has already been said in earlier reviews, so I'll concentrate on my experiences here on Coastal Lancashire, with its paths through sand dunes and pine forests.

About me: I'm 84 and had a very active, not to say athletic, lifestyle, so it was a bitter pill to swallow when I developed a balance problem and lost a lot of muscle strength.
Nevertheless, I am determined to continue being as active as possible! So I bought a Trionic Veloped Trek with the 14-inch wheels and all-terrain tyres.
After a cautious initial practise on local urban pavements and navigating the interiors of shops large and small, my next test was to get on and off our MerseyRail trains (still operating very old rolling stock on this line, with a high step up or down). I found a technique: brakes on, pull back to lift front wheel off ground, brakes off and roll in.
I was ready for the pine forest trails; no problems here though long uphill slopes were of course hard work. Going downhill I found tricky as the Veloped tended to yaw as it's not possible to apply both brakes evenly. (Same problem in the city on extended station and department store ramps – a light touch is needed).
I decided to test 'The Beast' by going off-trail, into the pine woods. This offered an altogether tougher challenge; the slopes I could manage with care (not to tip over sideways!) But narrow paths filled with pine cones were hard, even for the 24” wheels, probably because the cones are loose.
The biggest challenge by far is to get through loose sand. Long stretches of loose sand (sand traps!) were very hard indeed for me on one walk but another day I managed a short section to get onto the firm sand of the beach and was rewarded with long stretches of easy walking and glorious views!
I wish I could take some photos of this trip!
On public transport: I've had no problems storing the Trek on our local bus routes but would hesitate to take it on busier city routes.
One note of caution: When putting small items into the pocket at the back of the basket, it's very easy to miss and not realise it's dropped on the floor. Also, the 'rain cover' gets tangled with small items like keys. I haven't worked out how this rain cover is to be firmly fastened at the front when in use.
And so far, I haven't found a use for the extra storage bags provided with the Trek, so I probably should have bought the Tour version, which is a Trek without the extra bags. (I was put off by the illustration, yet they are both the same; the Trek photo just looked more like me).

Walker Rain Cover

Fantastic ergonomics, theft protection a disaster
I would like to divide the review into three parts.
Recommend this product review to a friend:
First the positive, which also clearly predominates for us, even if the following 'negative' points may seem textually very extensive:
The driving characteristics are fantastic compared to ordinary rollators (smooth running, vibration-free, quiet, good obstacle overcoming, ergonomics, good and fast adjustment options, etc...). They have already been described many times and we can fully endorse these.
For many years, and thus for far too long, we struggled with standard rollators, with their hard, loud, shaking, tipping doll's pram wheels that were tiny in comparison. That was until a serious accident occurred in which someone fell over a rollator that was tilting forward (rollover) and was seriously injured.
The less good:
Unfortunately, the basket can only be used to a limited extent because it is covered by the seat.
'Loose' and small things can be put in easily. You can't get a full bag or rucksack through the gap. It is clear to us that the low or even non-existent tilt towards the front is not only due to the large wheels but is also achieved by the basket being located very far back. Therefore, there is a conflict in accommodating the seat at the same time.
This cannot be solved in any other way and should remain so in the interest of rollover safety. Perhaps a compromise would be possible by moving the basket forward at least a little, perhaps 5 cm?
Now the negative:
The quick-release fasteners on the wheels are a real disaster!
The rear wheels are removed in a total of 6 seconds, the front wheels in 20 seconds.
This means that it is possible to steal all 4 wheels in a maximum of 30 seconds.
It is of little use to lock up the frame if only the 'bodywork' remains. You don't have to be in 'socially deprived areas', theft is everywhere.
This means that you should never leave the walker unattended.
How suitable is that for everyday life?!? It hampers us a lot.
We think it is a great pity that the safety of the walker is sacrificed to the trend of
'crossover lifestyle cars' with their tiny flat boots, which no longer deserve this name.
Our appeal to you is therefore to offer a free version with normal bolted axle mounts, at least as an option. Basically, this should be even cheaper to realise.
With kind regards
(Subject to additions)

Let's face it who wants to use a walker? but this one is so amazing
I use it to get all the way out to our boat on the marina docks and it never lets me down
People are so intrigued by it and don't seem to even understand its a walker, I can even take my yeti cooler strapped on the front
Can't begin to explain how amazing this thing is and how much it has helped me

I went to the seaside with my Veloped
I went to the seaside for the first time with my Veloped in Texel. With the Veloped I was able to walk on the beach in the deep sand, which would not have been even contemplated with other devices. It was tiring, but doable. I was also able to get very good results in the forest, on pebbles and small steps, without any effort. It would be useful to have a locking device to make it easier to load and unload the Veloped when folded.
Recommend this product review to a friend:
The scratches that form on the tubular frame when the seat is pushed back are very unpleasant. An improvement would be useful.
I fully enjoy my new freedom to go anywhere.

I was bit sceptical about spending this much money but as they say you get what you pay for
Recommend this product review to a friend:
I had fallen over a couple of times with a small wheel trolley that had got stuck in gravel and jarred me off the handles
Can't see that happening now I get up and down the garden on a variety of surfaces no problem
By tying front wheels together when folded I can get it in and out of the back seat of my car (easy access sliding door not sure that would work in an.ordinary salon)
All.in all well pleased and get remarks as to how smart it looks and how much more upright and quick I am walking
