5 tips for walking with the Van Raam City walking aid

Van Raam City walking aid

The City is a walking bike where the body weight is carried by the saddle. This makes walking easier and less stressful for the joints. The City walking aid is a good alternative if a wheelchair is not necessary and a rollator is not your preference. We give you 5 tips for walking with the walking aid.

1. Adjust the walking aid properly

Set the walking aid at the right height before you start walking for the best comfort. The saddle and handlebars are easily adjustable in height. See the manual on the City walking aid product page on how to adjust the walking aid correctly.

2. Make sure your tires are properly inflated

Make sure your tires are properly inflated before you hit the road. Underinflated tires create more resistance while walking and can also cause faster tire wear. On the other hand, if your tire pressure is too high, you can easily feel any unevenness in the road. This reduces driving comfort. For the City walking aid, 2 bar is a good tire pressure.

3. Use the handbrake to get on and off the bike

Get on and off the bike easily by securing the hand brake of the walker. This prevents the walker from rolling away during mounting and dismounting.

4. Take the walking aid easily with you

The City is easy to transport because it is foldable and lightweight. This allows you to take the City with you in the car or on public transport.

5. Bicycle basket for transporting things

It is possible to expand the City with various options to fully meet your needs. One of the most popular options is the bicycle basket that can be mounted on the front of the bike. This allows you to easily carry small items and keep them in sight while walking. See all possible options on the price list of the City walking aid. You can find it on the product page.
