  • To get from A to B

Independently of the other, each can pedal for himself and according to his strength.

The Fun2Go tricycle is particularly suitable as a bicycle for blind people to make an excursion together and keep moving, that the driver takes control and 100% responsibility. So the blind person can always cycle along safely and this ensures recreational fun for two.
