Our bikes
Let’s all cycle
vanRaam manufactures adapted bikes for people who want to keep cycling, whatever that takes. We design, engineer, and hand-built every bike to order in the Netherlands. No two are quite the same, because no two riders are the same. There really is a bike for everyone.
18,000m² of Dutch craftsmanship
Our facility in Varsseveld is one of the largest and most advanced of its kind in Europe. Across 18,000m² of production space, around 270 people design, build, and finish every bike almost entirely in-house. From the first weld on a steel tube to the final quality check before it leaves the floor.
Because every vanRaam bike is made to order, each one moves through the factory as an individual. Frame dimensions, seating position, electric assist, colour. Everything is specified for the person who will ride it. The production line is modern and precise, but the work is still the work of craftspeople.
All bikes are built to CE and TÜV standards, and every stage of production is monitored in-house. When a bike is made for one person, getting it right is non-negotiable.
If it doesn't exist, we'll build it
Innovation has always been at the heart of what we do. We developed the electric pedal assist system found on most of our bikes entirely in-house. To engineer components for adapted cycling rather than adapt from existing products is what makes our bikes unique.
We call it the Idea Factory: a dedicated space for prototyping and experimentation where the next generation of bikes begins. That commitment to doing things differently has been recognised with several innovation awards, though we'd rather let our riders be the judge.
Responsible by design
Sustainability is built into how the factory operates too. We follow a circular production policy, designed to reduce waste and ensure the bikes, and the processes behind them, have a lasting positive impact.
270 people, one purpose
vanRaam employs around 270 people across more than a dozen departments. The company has been family-led for decades and remains close-knit: built around people who take genuine pride in what they make.
One measure of that: Henk Kluver, one of vanRaam's longest-serving employees, worked at the factory for more than 70 years before retiring at the age of 95.
Today, vanRaam is led by three directors: Jan-Willem Boezel (CEO), Gerwin Sieders (CCO), and Robert Lamain (CFO).
Over a century in the making
We’ve been building bikes since 1910 and adapted bikes since 1986. More than a century of decisions, people, and ideas, all of which continue to shape every bike built today.
