Cycling with a disability

Van Raam special needs bike suitable for people with a disability

Van Raam's vision is: 'Van Raam makes a difference for people who cannot ride a standard two-wheel bike. Through a customized bike, people get outside, go out, connect with each other. For people who cannot cycle independently, van Raam has several multi-person bikes, which allows this group to experience the ultimate cycling pleasure with a companion. Let's all cycle!' We want everyone to be able to cycle (again), even if a disability can impede cycling. Not only is cycling healthy, it also gives you the opportunity to be outside and gives you a feeling of freedom. With an special needs bicycle (almost) everyone gets the opportunity to cycle again.

A special needs bicycle is different from a traditional two-wheeler. With a adapted bike you can think of a tricycle, a wheelchair bike or a mobility scooter bike. An adapted Van Raam bike is especially made for people with a disability. A disability can be anything, that's why there are many different types of special needs bikes. Van Raam has a lot of different models of bikes, so there is often a bike to suit your needs. The adapted bikes can be extended with different options, such as pedal assistance or accessories.

Tricycles

People who are no longer able to cycle on a regular two-wheeler can find a good and safe alternative with a tricycle. A tricycle provides stability and thus creates a feeling of safety while cycling. Van Raam's tricycles include traditional tricycles, sit tricycles and tricycles with two wheels at the front.

Wheelchair bikes

Van Raam's wheelchair bikes are used to transport a person in a wheelchair by bicycle. Van Raam has two models of wheelchair bikes: the VeloPlus wheelchair transport bike and the OPair wheelchair bike.

Tandems

Van Raam's tandems are used to enjoy cycling together. Because of the low entry or the lack of an entry and the different options, the tandems are often used with people who can no longer cycle independently. At Van Raam we have tandems with two wheels and three-wheel tandems.

Side-by-side tandems

Van Raam's side-by-side tandem is the Fun2Go. This double rider cycle is a tricycle tandem where you do not sit behind each other, but next to each other. One person is the main driver and can steer and brake, the co-driver can pedal along. It is also possible to cycle with the side-by-side tandem trailer FunTrain with more people.

Low step through bikes

Van Raam's low step through bikes are comfortable bikes with a special frame. With the uniquely developed frame you have an ergonomic sitting position and you can reach the ground with two feet without stepping off.

Walking aid

The City Walking Aid is suitable for people who have difficulty walking or have problems standing for long periods of time. A wheelchair is not yet necessary and a walker is not preferred. Your body weight is carried by the saddle of the walking aid, this relieves your hips, knees and ankles.

Scooter bike

The Easy Go scooter bike is a unique product, it is a bicycle, an electric bicycle and a mobility scooter. Either you cycle completely independently or you pedal along with the electric pedal support or you ride with with support via a throttle, which you can operate with your thumb. This is possible with different levels of support and different speeds.

Transport bikes

With the transport bike people come outdoors again, who normally can't enjoy cycling in the fresh air. Our cargo bikes give everyone a special feeling of freedom. You can feel the wind in your hair again and go out with friends and family.
