What was your concern with this review?
I am 68 years old and was a long-distance walker/hiker/backpacker until last Fall 2019, when on a 100 mile/161 kilometer hike, my right hip went out. Walking was painful and difficult. I could barely walk a block. Covid-19 came and treatments became limited or non-existent.
Longing to walk again in town and on mountain trails, I discovered the all-terrain Veloped Trek online. It arrived three weeks ago. It was simple to attach the wheels. Amazingly the Veloped Trek takes just enough pressure off my hip to begin walking again. I have been walking in town on a variety of surfaces: smooth sidewalks and uneven sidewalks; streets with cracks, bumps, and holes; gravel and small rocks; grass and dirt; and up and down curbs, and I have slowly increased distances. Today I walked 2 miles/3.2 kilometers. This is the perfect remedy for my hip. I especially like how it allows me to walk standing straight, not bent over, and the basket and gear are perfect for future picnics and further hikes.
Initially, two repairable problems presented themselves. I had two flat tires within the first week due to goathead stickers which are common here in the desert. This was easily fixed with the popular green goop used in bicycle tires. All four tires received the treatment and I have had no further flats. Also, I found the seat uncomfortable. This problem was resolved by partially inflating a long, rectangular, inflatable camping pillow/cushion, folding it into thirds and placing it in between the two seat layers. It is a soft seat now. It was an easy solution.
Overall, I am pleased with the Veloped Trek. It is sturdy and sporty-looking, and it has brought the joy of walking back into my life. Thanks to Oshin and Stefan who kindly assisted me as I made my purchase. The Veloped Trek is the best ever. Joyce, Alamogordo, New Mexico
Lockdown…
The lock is strong and secure. It took me a little while to use it correctly as it has a very strong wire and it can be a bit stiff to manoeuvre in place. Now I am used to it and I appreciate how safe it keeps my Tourer.…

Highly recommend this business.…
My Veloped has changed my life…
Since the operation to remove a tumour from my spinal cord, I can only walk with two crutches and this is a slow and painful process. I was finally told about rollators but thought they looked feeble and unattractive. My wish was to walk on the beach…
A great product.…
I am 93 and was always a lively walker until a problem with my legs occurred a few years ago. That resulted in my walking with a stick - not very satisfactory. Rollators are not so common in the UK, and when my Swedish relative suggested one, I r…

I bought this rollator for my mother. She is very happy with it and it gives her the confidence she needs. She can walk on her own whenever she wants without the fear of falling. The Veloped is perfect for country paths and roads. It looks elegant a…

I have long searched for the right walker that could be used for walking on uneven ground. My husband has Parkinson’s, and he can't take a single step without a walker. We are very satisfied with this model. We now have many more opportunities to go …
I have had my Trionic Veloped for two years now and I am very satisfied …
It is easy to manoeuvre, stable, holds a lot and it looks cool. I have tried other walkers with puncture-free tires, but I get muscle pain in my arms from them. I do not get that with the air tires of the Veloped. The rollator works great in the wood…

I usually walk along the road in the dark evenings, so what better idea than to buy these led front lights?…
My Veloped makes me safe…
Great to be able to take brisk walks with my Veloped in the green area close to my neighborhood. To get there, I pass street crossings, where the Veloped smoothly climbs up and down the curbs. Since the Veloped is easy to "fold" and load in the trunk…
