What was your concern with this review?
From the start dealing with this company has been really good, Stefan that means you as individual, but much more than that the ethos of the company not only shone out in the response to my first tentative enquiry but in the ongoing communication through the purchasing process and continuing since I received the cardboard crate and its wondrous contents. Wondrous is the word I use because on every level the Trionic Velopod met and surpassed all my expectations plus making me aware of things I needed but did not realise until I began to use the machine. It has been tested in supermarket, busy high streetand sports stadium, mountain track, forestry trail, beach and stream. Without fail it has met my needs, carried shopping, rucksack, tripod and camera, picnic and much else besides all with no noticable difference in its manovarability. The change from urban to all terrain wheel set up is very easy to achieve even with hands that find it difficult to grip. The settings really do make a difference and certainly helped me achieve things I have not managed for a number of years. The delight to be able to take myself and dogs in to the forestry and traverse the tracks and streams we encountered was and is wondrous. To be able to go round a farmers market able to purchase fresh produce and not worry about causing myself pain as three cloth bags fitted easily in to the cavernous basket of the Veloped so that in season veggies and some special treats were safely transported to my car where bags were easily transferred as well as the Veloped itself, which really does fold up to a very manageable size and with the easily removed wheels becomes light enough for me to lift in to the car. The wheels travel resting between the folded up Veloped so don't take up any more room so that, in my case, there is room for two dogs to travel too. The build of the Veloped is of a very high specification, all welds are clean and unobtrusive. It looks robust and has indeed proved to be robust, giving me a real sense of stability and reliability even crossing a stone filled stream. The lack of horrendous jarring even on forestry tracks is really excellent and then in a supermarket being able to reduce its width was very helpful and facinated one small shopper who was riding in their mothers trolley:0) The Veloped has given me the confidence to go away alone, barring dogs, and know that I would be able to unload my car at destination and take bags across a field to our holiday home. The car would have become bogged down but the Veloped even well loaded made light of the spongey ground and did not become difficult for me to manouvre. Yes, the Veloped is not a cheap purchase in fact on a limited budget it made me think long and seriously. However, you REALLY do get what you pay for when you purchase the Trionic Veloped... great service from the company, a thought out well designed and executed machine, the sense that any problem no matter how small will be sorted with the same care and attention taken in the making and selling. BUT much more than these important elements the Veloped has, for me, given me real sense of possibility and even more importantly given me the confidence to begin again to exercise through walking regularly with my stable robust friend who generously carries my rucksack and lets me sit on their lap whenever I need:0)

I sympathized with the Trionic brand for a long time, and now when I've got one, I'm an enthusiastic Veloped fan; running is fun again despite being overweight and lazy!…
Excellent product…
This has been a life-changer for me. I suffer from a back problem, which seriously restricted my walking. Using the Trionic Trek I can comfortably walk about 2 miles. I take the occasional rest using the seat which is a bonus. The design and finish o…
Great…
After transverse myelitis, among other things, my foot lift is disturbed, walking is now a conscious process and no longer an automatic one.
With this Veloped, I can finally walk again more safely. Great!…

I love the fact that I can walk in the countryside again and not be fazed by rough terrains like large gravel, grass paths and uneven surfaces. It means I can get away from cars and houses and surround myself with greenery. This lifts my spirits and …
Trionic Walker…
We are delighted with the 12er S Walker. Well designed and beautifully made. The 4 wheels with linked steering give great stability yet have good maneuverability. We originally intended to buy the 14er with even bigger wheels as our drive has some de…
I am very happy with the Veloped Tour…
I now enjoy walking again. I walk more safely and don't put as much strain on my joints as with the walking poles. I also cope better with the uneven paths. It's also ideal for shopping.…
Superb Machine…
Fed up with supplied walker I invested in the Veloped to have better stability and easier movement over uneven ground. Also require it for fishing trips (fly-fishing on rivers) where I can take over rough ground. It allows me to get more exercise too…
Very stable even on bumpy terrain…
The Walker is very helpful on cobblestones and forest paths, yet still relatively light, and a bit bulky in the car boot.…
