I have a rare neurological condition Hereditary Spastic Paresis which causes muscle stiffness, balance issues, and consequently mobility problems. I have used walking poles for the last couple of years but when I walk I no longer enjoy my surroundings as I am so busy looking at the ground and concentrating so I don't fall. I thought long and hard about buying a walker as it felt like giving in but I was equally fed up of hanging off my husband or treating a walk like a battle to stay upright rather than an enjoyable experience. After much research, I came across the Veloped and ordered it in July.
I can honestly say it has changed my life, I am learning to enjoy my walks and not stare at the ground constantly. I am getting used to steering it, I prefer 2 wheels down as it feels more stable and there is a definite knack to turning it in that mode, but the more I use it the better I get.
I am now walking every day and on the 8th of Oct, I start a 100-mile walking challenge to be completed in 4 weeks for MND research. I need to walk 3.2 miles every day over that period to reach my target which will be hard, I would never have considered this without my Veloped. I seriously cannot recommend the Veloped enough, I've got all the gadgets for it and love it. It has definitely been a big investment but worth every penny, life-changing in such a good way.

Very satisfied with my new walker, good functions and sturdy when walking.
Folds up with ease but doesn’t stay together particularly well when lifting into the car.

Excellent customer service…
I messed up the thread for the clamping screw on the brake lever. Customer service helped me in a very friendly and reliable manner. After a few days I received a replacement screw, but unfortunately the thread in the hole of the lever was worn out.

Walker 14, the more autonomy…
My husband has serious balance problems due to a progressive neuropathy, walking with a cane is too hesitant to take walks, the Walker 14 from Trionic solved this problem because it also allows to take stony and grassy paths. Even if the price is hig…
