Cycling on a steady bike made by Van Raam

Cycling with stability

A steady bike is a sturdy, reliable bike on which a person can keep his or her balance well. This balance can be achieved, for example, by having three wheels, a low entry or a different sitting position. You often come across these characteristics with special needs bikes. Three wheels make sure that you don't fall over, because you don't have to keep your balance yourself. With a low entry bike you can easily get on and off and with the Van Raam low entry bike you can always get on the ground with both feet. A steady sitting position is often a low sitting position. Because your centre of gravity is low, you feel safe and secure.
