The Easy Rider is a tricycle with a seat for adults. The bike has a unique frame with a low entry and the center of gravity is lower. The forward pedal motion and suspension provides perfect comfort. The bike is very maneuverable and has a small turning circle. In addition, the Easy Rider fits through a normal door and is therefore good to store in a shed.

A tricycle cycles differently than a regular two-wheel bike. On a tricycle you have more stability for example. In addition, you steer differently on a tricycle than on a two-wheel bike. On the Easy Rider you sit up straight and you only steer with your arms. On a two-wheel bike you steer with your whole body, by hanging sideways in a curve for example. Read in the article 'Cycling on a tricycle for adults' tips for cycling on a tricycle.

4. What are the measurements of the Van Raam Easy Rider?
