What was your concern with this review?
I'm a 62-year-old woman from the Netherlands and last year I suffered a CVA, which caused my right side to be permanently unusable. So since then, I have been stuck in a wheelchair.
During the last year, I went through therapy to try and recover some use/movement of my right arm and leg. During the therapy, I met a fellow patient who had a lot of benefits from a Trionic Veloped to help him walk again.
As it turns out, the Trionic Veloped is the only walker you can use with one hand.
Its all-terrain wheels make it possible to walk everywhere – on uneven pavement, curbs, and cobbles and get by with limited ability in one of the legs.
I asked for information directly from Stephan at Trionic, and he answered all my questions very kindly and directly over both mail and telephone. We were able to put together a Veloped Tour for me to try.
It arrived duly, perfectly packed, and turned out to be easy for me to assemble.
Then I went to work!
Over the past two months having worked with the Veloped, which I had named 'Thomas' (the tank engine), I can honestly say it has changed my world. From being someone in a wheelchair to someone who stands and engages with other people on their eye level again.
The Veloped has me walking upright again!
For shopping, a doctor's appointment, or just to go for a walk with friends for fun! In shopping centres, a park or sightseeing. I can take it into restaurants and theatres easily.
It will take from work from you, as you will have to practice on the Veloped daily, but you will find improvements in your capabilities daily.
For anyone living in the Netherlands, who wants to know and has one-sided paraplegia, I would be happy to share experiences. I am sure Stefan at Trionic can put us in contact.

Walking is a prime requirement for good health, even when you have a disability. The Trionic Walker 12er is allowing me to traverse walkable surfaces with ease, a situation that my previous, very good-quality walker, could not achieve.…
Surprising good…
This holder was ordered at the same time I ordered the Veloped and came already attached to the frame. I haven't actually used it for its intended purpose of housing a walking stick but found it has a double purpose and currently holds my dogs retrac…

I have always been fit and healthy until 2 years ago. An accident at work put an end to that. I now have an inexplicable pain in my leg and back that makes walking almost impossible. After using some granny walkers, Trionic came up via Google. I had …
Trionic, my super ally…
Now when the poorly plowed roads of winter are just a memory, I once again experience what a super ally the Trionic is. It rolls almost all by itself on the springy air-filled tires. The basket manages almost any heavy loads! The basket is designed s…

I am more than satisfied with my Veloped – it gives me the necessary support and stability I need, and I can walk long distances over any terrain with it. Especially because of my MS disease, it prevents balance problems and falls, I can make my ever…
