Would you like to ride a bike, but it is no longer possible on a regular two-wheeled bicycle? In this article we give you 5 tips for buying an adapted bicycle.
Cycling is healthy and gives pleasure to many people. Therefore, it can be very frustrating when you can no longer cycle (independently) on a regular bicycle. Fortunately, there are plenty of alternatives. Think of tricycles, low step trough bikes or wheelchair bikes. Read below for 5 tips on buying an adapted bicycle.
Van Raam has several types of adapted bicycles in its assortment for people with disabilities. This varies from a two wheel bike with low step trough, to a rickshaw bike which can carry 2 passengers. People who have difficulty lifting their legs up high can probably still ride a two-wheel bike with low step trough independently. Persons with more severe disabilities may no longer be able to cycle independently, but they can perhaps ride together with a companion on a tandem or rickshaw bicycle.
See below the different categories of Van Raam bicycles:
People, who cannot ride on a regular bicycle, look for a proper and safe alternative.
The Van Raam wheelchair bikes are used to enable a wheelchair dependent person to travel by cycle.
The two persons have a good view and can communicate well with each other due to the seats being next to each other.
The low step through bikes from Van Raam enable people to get on their bikes easier.
The walking aid elieves the legs by supporting the costumer’s weight on the saddle.
The compact electric scooter bike is designed for people with stability problems or variable energy level.
Our transport bikes are for children or adults who cannot or do not want to take part in traffic on their own or for recreational use.
Every adapted Van Raam bicycle is custom made for the customer. By adding extra options to a bike, you can customize your bike. You can see the different options on the price list, which can be found on the product page of the bicycle. It is also possible to configure your own bike in the online configurator. For more information about the configurator, read the article 'Put together your Van Raam bike with the bike configurator'.

Some people are eligible for reimbursement for an adapted bicycle. This may be from the government or through health insurance. If you do not qualify for an reimbursement, you can buy the bicycle privately. You can use your own bank account for this, or raise money by fundraising. Read more about this in the article 'Tips for raising money for a special needs bike'.
