What was your concern with this review?
In 2011, I was cycling to the bus station to take a bus into Manchester where I worked. I was hit by a car driven by a 74-year-old man who wasn’t looking for a cyclist (I had right of way!) and he struck me as he turned in front of me. My head struck his windscreen and I was thrown over his car. Luckily it happened in front of a CCTV camera because he would have lied to the police and blamed me. I was badly injured and spent 8 months in two hospitals and a rehabilitation centre.
I could not go back to work and cannot work again as a result of my injuries. A serious head injury meant that my walking was very unsteady and still is. It wasn’t until I found the Veloped online and bought one (the Veloped Tour, I think), that I was able to go out again.
By this time, I had a dog and we began to go out together, once a day, in the mornings, for a walk. I live in the Peak District National Park where there are plenty of hills and slopes. There are no pavements for me to use but I have used the Veloped where I’ve had to go up and down pavements. It is so easy to use when there is no dropped kerb, thanks to the patented double wheel at the front. It certainly makes life easy for me.
I love using my Veloped because it makes walking much easier for me. It has plenty of space for me to carry things like a box of tissues for myself, a water bottle for my dog, binoculars for cuckoo and other bird-spotting, a mosquito net for help with midges, waterproof gloves, etc. I’ve bought rear lights for the Veloped so that I can be seen if a car approaches. I have my front light which lets me be seen by cyclists too. Having a Veloped to use really makes living life better. I would recommend having a Veloped to anyone who needs it.
Superb product.…
I love my Veloped Sport 14er M. Without it I would struggle to even go out. Yes, they are expensive, but what price do you put on your health? I mostly use it to walk round our town but I have used it in my local wood where it was great. I recent…
Bought for mother, she loves it.…
My 87-year-old mother with a false hip and two false knees saw this and thought it would be far more comfortable than the standard one she has. She loves it. Easy and comfortable. Goes up kerbs easily. Not small to pack away or get on buses but great…

My wife had major back surgery and we had a fairly nice walker for her to use before and after the surgery. It is nothing compared to the Trionic we purchased. The engineering and craftsmanship are superb and obviously of high quality. It has given h…
I'm absolutely delighted with my Walker.…
The design is perfect, I think, most importantly because it allows me to walk in an upright posture, thus easing lower back & shoulder pain. Its very sturdy construction has helped my balance a lot, & I feel much more secure when out walking, & able …
New grips…
The new grips fit & work perfectly. I found they were easy to install but I do have some mechanical skills.
I have owned my 12er for about six years and have completed 5 Marathons (26.2 mi) with it. I estimate I have walked nearly 3,500 miles with…
Brilliant walking aid. Trionic Sport…
Brilliant walking aid. Worth every penny. I get stopped every time I go out. Questions and even photos are taken. I’d be lost without it. I suffered a brain haemorrhage and am continually dizzy. It’s robust and like nothing I’ve used. Without it, I’d…

My wife uses the Walker 12er. She has been severely disabled for years following a serious accident and was only able to participate to our walks with Nordic Walking poles as walking aids. In January 2023, after purchasing the Veloped 14er to allevia…
