Maxi Comfort tricycle

The Maxi Comfort is a variant of the traditional tricycles from Van Raam. The Maxi Comfort has an extra low entry and a different seating position. Read more about these and other benefits of this bike:

1. Tricycle with low step trough

The Maxi Comfort tricycle is characterized by its low step trough. This makes getting on easier. You do this by first stepping over the frame with one leg. Then you can pull the bike under you, or sit directly on the saddle. Thanks to the unique frame of the Maxi comfort, you can always put both feet on the ground. In the article 'How do you get on a tricycle easy', watch the video demonstrating the best way to get on a tricycle.

5 benefits of the Maxi Comfort tricycle low and wide entry ergonomic seating

2. Ergonomic sitting position with forward pedal movement

On this tricycle you do not sit above the pedal axle, but slightly behind it. This allows you to make an optimal knee movement and yet sit a little lower. The forward pedal movement allows you to put more power into cycling. The seating position also has the benefit of relieving stress on the back, shoulders, neck and wrists due to the ergonomic sitting position.

3. Semi-high sitting position provides good overview

Traditional tricycles have two wheels at the back, one wheel at the front and a high seating position above the bottom bracket. Because the saddle of the Maxi Comfort is just behind the crankshaft, this bike has a semi-high seating position. As with traditional tricycles, this seating position gives you a good overview of the road and surroundings.
