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.
Regained Freedom…
Very strong workmanship. Easy removal of the wheels for transport in the car. The basket is practical for jacket, dog leash etc. The height adjustment of the handles is very easy. The curved handrail is very useful for going uphill. Tested over roots…

Outstanding customer service. I contacted the company as a patient of mine had broken her walker. Johan was so helpful, worked out what needed to be replaced and sent the replacement free of charge. Thank you

A big piece of extra freedom…
I am very satisfied with the Veloped Trek!
My shoulders and arms, which used to get all the shocks from every unevenness of the ground with a quite good but common rollator, could now relax. It is also very smooth, and walking is no longer so strenu…
Fits perfectly…
The pump fits the tyres perfectly and inflates them with minimal effort.
Folded up, the pump can be stored in any backpack or can be attached directly to the Veloped with the supplied material. In this case, it is not the pump that is attached, b…
Very good…
The Walker 14er helps me a lot (balance disorder due to ataxia). Apart from the large tyres, which make it easier to overcome obstacles, I particularly like the flexible suspensions of the wheels on the left and right, which decisively improve the gr…
lovely bit of kit, Pity i couldn't make use of it,…
I couldn't change direction and reverse it out of my (narrow)hallway as the wheels were touching both walls at the same time…
Enthusiasm on 3... 4 wheels ;-)…
I am also an enthusiastic user of Veloped Sport.
Due to cancer, I had to rely on a mobility aid very early on. I also got a dog for mental and physical support. For both of us to be able to walk not only in the village but above all in nature, it w…
Great health and pleasure benefit…
Due to an increasing neurological problem, I could only walk about 100 m before having to stop and sit down. On my first outing with the Walker, I could easily do a 400 m distance without the need to stop. I have gradually been able to increase my di…
