My Veloped Trek is a Life Saver
My Veloped Trek arrived yesterday. I couldn’t wait to try it out. Managed a good walk down to our village, up and down kerbs no problem at all. I have not been able to do that walk without severe pain for a few years. I feel liberated and can’t wait to go ‘off-road’ with it very soon. I have Spondylitis which has progressively limited my walking and could only get about with a stick. Now I have freedom! Excellent customer service, the Veloped was despatched and at my door within a week. Very well packaged and easy to get out of the box (well, easy for my husband!). Instructions are thorough and the quality of the Veloped is first class. I could go on and on, but I see from previous reviews it’s all been said. Without reservations I can say this product is worth buying.

While looking for a new rollator to suit the rural area we live in, we came across the Trionic Veloped. After much help and guidance from Stefan, we ordered the Tour model and were absolutely delighted when it arrived on the scheduled day.

We immediately began to put it together following the very clear instructions in the box and it all went together very easily. We are very impressed with the quality of the materials and the engineering behind the design. We have used it every day since and it has fulfilled all our expectations and allowed us to walk safely and comfortably in our locality. We would highly recommend it to anybody looking for a similar product and we look forward to many more adventures as the summer approaches.
John and Schira.

With a big thanks for the new found freedom...walking freely again.
In the city, in shops, in the garden, in the forest with the whole family... free to walk and still go out easily. The pleasure of walking in the fresh snow.

Every week we go to bio coop and there are already a few strangers that asked us where we found this walker.
You could make small a sheet of your Trionic...with your email address and website...so it would be easy to give it away...
The only downside...you have to get the mud off the wheels... here are some pictures. My mother uses it several times a day. With all our thanks and congratulations.

I have nerve damage in my left leg from a back issue and over two years had regressed to using a cane. My daily walks with my dog consisted of a painful quarter of a mile and I spent more and more of my time sitting. As someone who had been very physically active all my life, it was disheartening to say the least.

Enter the Veloped. I bought the touring model. We have 8 miles of interlocking trails in the community where I live. Almost immediately I was walking one mile. I’ve walked up and down hills, up flat stair steps, up and down curbs, through snow and three types of gravel. I attach my dog’s leash to a dog walker wrist band that I loop over the handlebars and he’s able to do his sniffing on both sides of the rollator. My Veloped has literally given me my life back and all the trails are open to me now. I hope to give it a whirl on the beach one day when Covid eases enough to rent a place on the water. Thank you Trionic, and thank you Oshin.

When it comes to walkers, you only need Tronic to make getting around easy and safe.

We have two. Started with the Veloped Sport to get around the streets of Rome. Now walking is not only safer but simple. If you know Rome the streets and sidewalks are far from even and easy to move about. The Veloped Sport is the only way to go. Curbs are no longer a challenge along with uneven streets.
We added the Rollator Walker for inside use and can only say that now moving about is a treat. Both provide outstanding support while walking. In fact, it has made it easy to rebuild strength and the distances now increase with use.
Both are well built and solid. While getting new leg braces fitted the doctor and tech both were giving thumbs up when they saw my Tronic Rollator. When I told them I also had the Veloped Sport for outside use, they smiled and said, perfect - you have the Rolls Royce of walkers.

The Trionic 14” wheel walker has given me back the independence I had lost for years. For years I had to hold on to others if there was uneven ground, gravel or sand to walk on and just avoided those surfaces as I need to stop and sit regularly and it was just all too much effort. Now I have the freedom to roam. This brilliant walker has meant the limitations on my life are so much less.

I held back from buying one for a long time as they are a big investment. But that’s what they are, an investment that gives you a much fuller and more rewarding life. My self-confidence is so much higher now I have this walker. I feel so much safer now I use this walker.
The quality of the build is head and shoulders above any other walker I have seen.
The engineering is so far advanced from any other walker I have seen or had over the years.
The support and communication from the makers are second to none.
You get superb service on the website and if you have a query, Stefan who designed and created this life-enhancing walker will message you personally.
After much use and at 5 yrs old I lost a part, a replacement part was sent from Sweden immediately free of charge and you don’t get better service than that...
Don’t wait, buy one now, it will improve your life immeasurably. It is one of those rare items that really is worth the cost.

This review is totally voluntary!
I am 75 years old and I suffer from osteoarthritis, diabetes, and a heart issue. About six months ago, my wife and I decided to purchase a rollator from a well-known UK company. It was large and sturdy in design and I started using it and yes, it did help my mobility. But it was poorly made and after a few weeks, it was clear that the design could be improved. It was uncomfortable, it rattled and unless the surface was smooth and flat it was really hard work.

After some research, my wife discovered the Veloped range. We were drawn to the solid appearance, the large wheels, and video demonstrations of it being used in difficult terrain. She contacted Trionics via the website and found communication in English was straightforward and helpful. So we ordered a Veloped Sport 14er size M, with some extras including spare wheels and a pump. It arrived after about 10 days. Considering Trionic stated dispatch would be 3-5 days and UPS had to bring it from Sweden, the delivery was excellent and timely. The package was complete and as an added touch the pump and cane holder had been already fitted by Trionic.
Impressive.
I have been using it for three months now. Without exaggeration, it has changed my life. It is so comfortable. The large wheels and pneumatic tyres are silent and stable. The front wheel assembly is brilliant in that it easily overcomes kerbstones and bumps just as described. The braking system is super efficient and does take some getting used to, however. The grip handle height is easily adjustable and although I have yet to adjust the grips I do not see any problem. The seat is stronger than it looks, and the fact that it slides forward when I am walking to give me legroom is a brilliant yet simple design embellishment.
I do have a couple of minor issues. When the pump is stowed, it sometimes slides down the frame and catches my ankle. I could leave it indoors but that will be the day I need it! Sometimes the handlebar adjustment becomes slightly loose, causing the grip on that side to lower slightly which can be a nuisance when leaning on the handle or on rough terrain. It is easy to tighten but I would suggest that the tightening tool is kept in the basket pouch. The waterproof cover is excellent, of sound construction, but I find it awkward and fiddly to fit outside in the rain. Perhaps if I were younger and fitter…
I have tested the Veloped on different terrain and it makes short work of everything I have tried. Gravel pathways, which are supposed to be “wheelchair friendly* (Veloped is not a wheelchair of course), are not a problem with such large wheels. Smooth and rough grass and fields are fun to walk through. I have yet to try cobbles but I know where I can find some to test. Shingle pathways and soft sand are no obstacles. I have walked in the woods and the riverbank – photos of the terrain are attached! So, I go out for my daily walk with my camera equipment in the basket to the local quayside, sit on my Veloped, and take pictures of the fishing boats.
The Veloped is considered by some to be expensive. It is not cheap but it meets the test of quality. UK taxpayers with disabilities (including me) can claim VAT relief, which is substantial. I have been stopped by people in the street and in the woods who are impressed and, I think, a bit jealous! But to conclude, it is a life changer and I highly recommend it.

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 bumpy forest paths with pine roots or gravel, the Veloped goes straight forward and I can safely hold onto it. If I have to go through tight passages, I can easily lift one of the front wheels, so also tight corners are not a problem.

My Veloped Sport has allowed me to enjoy walking again! I'm 59yrs. old and have cerebral palsy. I was having a hard time walking without some sort of mobility aid. Typical walkers limited where I could go walking. My Veloped Sport can go almost anywhere! Thank you so much!! Your all-terrain Veloped has given me back my freedom.

For a long time, I have not been able to take part in the hikes through our city forest with my beloved Nordic Walking group. I am too insecure even with 2 sticks (artificial knee joint, severe osteoarthritis on the other knee, polyneuropathy! - I am 77 years old).

Now I have the Veloped-Tour with 14er tyres!
(So far, I do not get the whole 1,5-hour tour - but I am slowly getting closer).
It is a revelation - even with the greatest expectation, I could not have imagined it to be so well off-road and safe.
Paths full of roots both uphill and downhill are not a problem. I walk safely, upright and with a view of my surroundings, sometimes chatting with fellow travellers.
I am free again! (a very happy feeling).
Actually, my review would end here
- But I still list the "important" things for me:
• Weight - without wheels no problem, I can easily get it into the car by myself (my trunk is higher, ancient SUV!)
• Wheels - easy to remove and attach with almost just one movement
• Folding mechanism - easy to use - simple to store, fits in lifts, cars, buses, and trains
• Seat - comfortable, good even for longer breaks (with backrest easy to put up)
• Handle height - quickly adjustable with one movement (higher position is better when going downhill)
• Off-road/city mode can be adjusted quickly and easily - works great
• Basket - holds everything important (including medium-sized purchases – and with my Veloped I could even transport very heavy things, up to 150 kg).
"I love my rhino (after rhinoceros): head (wheel) down and run full power!"
And finally:
• Very, very friendly consultancy in German; by phone with Stefan Kindberg
• Delivery: Ordered Tuesday afternoon, arrived Friday noon
Do I need to mention that I will of course order future items again from TRIONIC without thinking twice?
