The 14er walker performed even better than expected.It allowed me to go walking with my dog again .Rough rocky trails with tree roots and even downed trees was not an issue. 15 to 30 degree slopes also not an issue. I am dealing with the issues from a stroke effecting musckle memory on my whole left side leg and arm. Also effected is balance. The 14er helps me overcome the effects of my stroke.
I've been using a solid wheel rollator walker for 3 years. I wish I'd known about Trionic from the start! My old rollator broke for the second time in 2 years. They claimed it was an all terrain rollator, but it obviously couldn't keep up with me as the same part kept breaking. This time, I couldn't even get it repaired because of the global shipping crisis. That's how I stumbled across Trionic - I was desperately looking for a replacement walker that was manufactured in Europe in the hopes that delivery wouldn't be hampered by the shipping crisis. I emailed Trionic to confirm they weren't having shipping delays and was shocked to receive a reply directly from Johan, one of the founders, who reassured me that delivery would be unaffected. I decided that instead of going with one of the Trionic rollators, that I was going to order a Veloped Trek 14er M. It arrived in days and all of the accessories I'd ordered arrived already installed, which was a bonus. From my very first spin around my very muddy garden - I knew the Veloped was a game changer. Hand on heart, one of my first impressions (as I easily crossed muddy, boggy, grass and then took it up and down every kerb and obstacle that I could find) was that the Veloped feels like it was designed by someone that needs to use mobility equipment - or someone who loves someone that does. The Veloped has made me realise that some of the exhaustion, pain, and difficulties that made me need to stop to rest so often with my old rollator was due to its difficulties handling obstacles - needing to be lifted or twisted around or over them, and also the massive amounts of vibrations transferred through the rollator to the user when crossing any sort of textured surface - be it brick paved, gravel, or cobblestone. And it was painful when something as small as a pebble could bring you to a violent stop by locking up one wheel. Using the Veloped, there's a massive improvement in the amount of vibration transferred to the user. The front wheel design is excellent for getting over obstacles - and not needing to search for and use a dropped kerb reduces how much walking is required if there isn't one readily accessible. I don't need a ramp to get up the (low) steps to get into my house anymore. The Veloped and it's sliding seat also encourages me to walk more upright and feels more like I'm walking normally, not like I'm pushing something in front of me like rollators often do, and that has improved my posture while walking.The customer service has been great. Delivery was great and even the packaging, user manual, laminated quick reference info, and letter from the founders felt premium. The product is great. I have already recommended it a few times to people trying to use a rollator to maintain an active life because it likely would be a better fit for their lifestyles.My only criticisms:-It *will* fold down narrower than its narrowest locking position. It would be nice to be able to lock it securely in its narrowest position especially when travelling. It just seems like it works be less likely to be damaged in transit that way.-The seat is quite narrow. With the maximum weight capacity of the Veloped, you'd think that there was at least one model available for those with broader hips and bums. This is the main complaint I hear about the Veloped so I know that it's not just me that finds it pretty snug and not something that I would like to sit on for long periods of time. However, I have seen many people strap a folding chair to the side of the Veloped so they do have a comfortable seat they can use when they reach their destination or for a longer rest. It would just be nice if that weren't necessary.
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, 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.
After five years of loss of mobility due to neurological problems I took the plunge and purchased a Trionic Sport Veloped with a comfort seat. My previous experience had been with a wheelchair, crutches and a lightweight rollator and I had considered buying a mobility scooter. I am so pleased that after contacting the office in Sweden I followed their careful advice to purchase a Veloped as it has given me confidence, improved my posture and enabled me to regain my independence. The 12" wheels on the Veloped enable me to navigate paths, tracks, kerbs and sand in comfort and the brakes and adjustable frame give me a sense of security. Although the Veloped is large I am able to disassemble it to put it in the car quite easily. The basket is spacious to carry dog walking equipment and even my luggage when flying to go on holiday last year! Overall I am so thankful to have made the choice of a Veloped over a scooter, as for me this is a choice in maintaining my health.
I have tried the conventional walkers but none of them compare to the trionic walker this is by far the best in the market glides over all terrains with the greatest of ease I would and have recommended this item to all my friends thank you so much.
