What was your concern with this review?
I have the Veloped with two sets of wheels, 12” and 14”. I use the 12” for day to day & travel. It's a bit easier to get in and out of the car and tight spaces. The 14” are for serious walking including the four marathons, 8-10 half marathons and numerous 5&10Ks. All in all I have put something over 3000 miles on it in the 4-1/2 years I've had it.

This thing has given me my life back and allowed me to continue my travels. It has seen areas as diverse as the cobblestones of Paris and the islands of the Galapagos. BTW, I hate cobblestones but they are so much easier with the Veloped than any other Walker I've found yet.
I have made a few minor modifications, mostly by attaching bits with plastic tie wraps
It's not perfect but it's the best thing I've found and I've spent a lot of time looking and I still do.

Thoughtful walker for terrain and everyday use
Trionic makes thoughtfully designed walkers adapted for terrain and everyday use.
Recommend this product review to a friend:
Built-in features that make it easier to get over curbs, for example, are missing from other walkers, but Trionic has solved this in a smart way.

The off-road rollator is brilliant
The off-road rollator is brilliant. In France I was out and about with it for about 10 km daily. I drove over bumpy gravel and stone paths, uphill and downhill, even on the sandy beach (that did take some strength though) and on the dried-out mudflats! Back home I now walk about 6-8 km daily on forest paths. My muscles have developed wonderfully and walking with the rollator is much more fun than, for example, the exercises in therapy. In France I was often asked about this device, because it was so astonishing to people where I could go from there.

Bought Veloped Sport and am delighted. Does what it says on the box. Literally. Could not use lightweight ordinary rollator, but this barrels over ruts, long grass, stony ground as smoothly as can be. I have three sorts of arthritis and would not be as mobile without it.
Very pleased altogether.

I have an incurable neurological…
I have an incurable neurological disorder that affects (mostly) my balance. I cannot walk at all without hanging on to something. Having led a very active life (I'm now 76) this was obviously a serious setback. After using my first (borrowed) walker it became obvious that wheel size and composition was a limiting factor. I came across the Trionic Veloped while searching on the web for "big wheel walkers." I read a number of the reviews, spent time on the phone asking questions of (a very helpful) Oshin, and finally decided to give it a try. It's costly in comparison to other walkers but has features not available elsewhere and provides me with a degree of mobility so I can get out of the house and negotiate surfaces that would otherwise be impossible. In short, I love it.

The primary drawback is that it's definitely for outdoor use. It's too large to be used in the house, in restaurants, etc. Though many would probably think it an advantage, for me it pushes too easily, to the point where I feather the brakes all the time except when going up hill. (Since I tend to fall backwards I probably don't stand as straight up as I should.) I'd love to be able to "dial in" some resistance. Also, for my use, it turns more easily than necessary in the "city" mode and with more difficulty than I like in the "off-road" mode. A complaint - the brake cones on my Veloped were neither precisely round nor flat across. This caused the brakes to pulse when applied until I wore the cones round, a process that took about three months. Further, there was loose crystalline debris in gap of one of the brake pads. This fell between the pad and the cone causing grooves in the cone and excess brake dust. No permanent harm from this but quality control should have caught it.
Complaints aside, I am about to order a Trionic 12er walker. It will be a good bridge between the conventional walker I use in the house and the Veloped. It's easily transported behind the driver's seat of my car and will allow me not only to quickly and safely navigate less-than-smooth sidewalks, streets, parking lots, lawns, etc. and still go into restaurants et al. For airline travel, it will provide one device to accommodate all my indoor and outside mobility needs without paying a fee to ship the Veloped. While Trionic products may on the surface seem costly, being able to continue to participate in and enjoy life is well worth the small investment.

Sturdy robust and greatly admired walker
I have now had my veloped trek for over 4 years. From the start johan johan and stefan have provided a first class service and regularly communicate with customers in a friendly but inobstrusive way throughout the year. I have three walkers Vera, Winnie and Thursday and all serve very different purposes. Vera was my first and by far the best. As an all terrain walker she is sturdy robust comfortable and light to push. Surrounds me for better balance. Is much admired as I go walking on bumpy woodland paths or across fields. Fits neatly in back of my Toyota Yaris with front wheels removed and back seat portion eased. I still get as much enjoyment and freedom from being able to access the countryside with Vera. Today have been on a beautiful walk at Kiplin North Yorkshire with Bluebells Blue skies and Birdsong. Sublime ! Thank you Trionic.

I finally ordered my Veloped 14er when…
I finally ordered my Veloped 14er when I received my big Covid Stimulus check. It arrived and I was immediately more mobile than I had been for years because I had 5 crushed vertebrae. Two weeks later I suffered a brain aneurysm resulting in emergency brain surgery that left me becoming a 9% survivor. My Veloped sat in the garage for many months while I slowly recovered learning how to talk again, how to walk and how even to dress myself. But wow, "Persie" became so instrumental in my overall recovery and wellness. I learned to walk, first a few hundred feet, then a mile, and soon I was walking 2.5-3 miles in an hour. I became motivated to take on a big celebratory walk...that was the Camino de Santiago. So, being afraid of the Pyrenees, I started in Logroño and walked to Santiago in 29 days plus 6 rest days for a total of 424.3 miles including sightseeing.

I love my Veloped and intend to do another celebratory walk in 2027 as I survived long-term Covid that destroyed my aortic heart valve. This time "Persie" and I will start in Bayonne, walk to St. Jean Pied de Port to Santiago then continuing on foot to Fisterre and Muxia...650 miles. During my walk I will celebrate 60 year anniversary of my high school graduation and my 78th birthday. Thanks to Trionics I am mobile again. The only sad part is in the USA it is not considered a medical essential product. It could change the lives of many.
