Cycling together with a child

In addition to the single-person bicycles for children, Van Raam also offers bicycles in which, for example, a parent, another family member or a therapist can cycle with the child. Our Kivo Tandem and Kivo Plus three-wheel tandem, as well as the OPair wheelchair bike or the Fun2Go double rider cycle are suitable for this. Read more about these bikes below.

Kivo tandem

The Kivo is a child-parent tandem with a grown-up sitting behind and a child sitting in front. The child can get a good view of the environment. The rider sitting behind can always keep a good watch on the child. The Kivo has a low step through and therefore, is easier to use. You can order the Kivo tandem with various options. Normally the Kivo has 8 gears and a freewheel switch. You can use the switchable freewheel to determine with 3 positions whether and how the passenger pedals.

This are the three positions:

This is a function with a continuous movement of the pedal and the co-driver must pedal along.
The pedals of the co-driver move independently of the pedals of the main driver. The pedals run freely and the co-driver cannot cycle.
In this position, the pedals of the co-driver move independently of the pedals of the main driver. The co-driver can cycle along.
