On these pages you can find a lot of information about the various bikes, such as the price list, specifications, product photos and videos. By orienting yourself well in advance on the different tricycles, you may already get an idea which bike is most suitable for your child.

Tip 4. Make a test ride
We recommend making a test ride before you decide to buy a children's tricycle. During a free consultation, one of our technical advisors will try to find out which bike suits your child best. It is also possible to test several bikes on the Van Raam test track.
Tip 5. Create a configuration of your ideal children's tricycle
In Van Raam's online configurator you can put together your ideal bicycle. When you have made your choices in the configurator, you can print the configuration and take it to your Van Raam dealer.
Tip 6. Order your child's tricycle from a Van Raam dealer
With the configuration you can order your child tricycle at a Van Raam dealer. The dealer will pass on the order to us, so we can customize the bicycle for you. When the bicycle is ready, Van Raam will bring it to the dealer. The dealer will then make sure you receive your bicycle.
