Cycling on a steady bike made by Van Raam

A steady bike is a good alternative to a regular bike with two wheels. Sometimes you can't ride a regular bike because it's too unsteady for you. A steady cycle provides a safe and pleasant way of cycling. Van Raam has several steady bicycles in its range, including single-person tricycles or low entry bicycles. But also multi-person bikes, such as wheelchair bikes and duo bikes. The Van Raam bicycles are suitable for men and women. Read more about stable bicycles and Van Raam's special needs bicycles here.

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.

Van Raam's steady bikes are suitable for men and women. Van Raam has the following sturdy bicycles for one person in its range:

• Tricycles: The tricycle provides stability and thus creates a feeling of safety while cycling.
• Low entry bikes: A low entry makes it easy to get on and off the bike. In addition, this bike model has a uniquely developed frame so you can ride comfortably and also get on the ground with two feet without getting off.
• Walking aid: The walking aid is suitable for people who have difficulty walking or have problems standing for long periods of time. Your body weight is carried by the saddle of the walking aid, this relieves your hips, knees and ankles.

Steady multi-person bikes from Van Raam

Van Raam's special needs multi-person bikes are suitable for enjoying cycling together. Van Raam's multi-person bicycles are often designed to cycle together with someone who is no longer able to do this independently, for example due to a disability. Most of Van Raam's multi-person bikes have three wheels and are therefore very steady. These stable multi-person bikes are available at Van Raam:

• Wheelchair bikes: Van Raam's wheelchair or wheelchair transport bikes are used to transport someone in a wheelchair by bicycle.

• Side-by-side tandem: The duo bike is a special tandem with three wheels. With this tandem you sit next to each other.

• Threewheel tandem: A three-wheel tandem is a tandem tricycle. Because of the low entry level and stability, the tandems are often used with people who can no longer cycle independently.

• Rickshaw bike: The rickshaw bike is meant for cycling together with adults and/or children who can no longer cycle independently. An accompanying person cycles with one or two people.
