Cycling with a wheelchair user

For people who are in a wheelchair, it is not obvious to go out on a bicycle. At Van Raam we have two different models of wheelchair bicycles, with which cargo bike users can also make a bicycle ride. More and more institutions, organizations, and residential groups have a wheelchair bicycle. You can read their stories and experiences about their wheelchair bicycle in this article.

Opair wheelchair bike and VeloPlus wheelchair transport bike

With the OPair wheelchair bike the wheelchair user takes place in front of the bicycle in a special seat that is mounted on the bicycle.
With the VeloPlus wheelchair transport bike, the wheelchair user remains in his or her own wheelchair and he/she can be driven onto the platform onto the cargo bike in his wheelchair and secured.

Both the person in the front in the wheelchair and the driver of the cargo bike have good visibility and can enjoy the bike ride. The wheelchair bicycles have various options such as a divisible frame, belts or a mirror. The wheelchair bicycles are also available as an electric bicycle and can be supplied in any RAL color.

That the OPair wheelchair bike and VeloPlus wheelchair transport bike are popular is evident from the many messages that appear on the internet. Read the stories below and the user experiences of children, residents, clients, caregivers and counselors from different institutions and organizations who can enjoy cycling again because of the special wheelchair bikes from Van Raam.

Wheelchair bicycle for people with multiple disabilities

In Nieuw Buitenzorg, 9 homes in Leiderdorp, the Netherlands, people with severe multiple disabilities live in a unique location. They are looked after by a team of supervisors. The foundation 'Stichting Vrienden van Nieuw Buitenzorg' provides that little bit extra that the government does not finance. They have sponsored money so that a wheelchair bicycle could be purchased for the residents, who can now enjoy the wind blowing through their hair while cycling with the cargo bike.

You can find the following text at the photo below:

"I really enjoy cycling with the wheelchair bike. What a freedom and our residents really enjoy it. Lian feels the wind blow through her hair and mentions the birds and ducks. While we are chatting we cycle through the polder. Teun doesn't find the cows scary at all. He even dares to touch them. What a great job I have."

Van Raam bike for a wheelchair user

Van Raam has two wheelchair bicycles in its range. These are the OPair wheelchair bicycle and the VeloPlus wheelchair transport bicycle. With the OPair it is possible to transport someone in a wheelchair. There is an adjustable seat on the OPair. With the detachable frame, the seat can be easily detached from the bicycle section, so that it can function as a wheelchair on location.

With the VeloPlus, someone can be transported in his / her own wheelchair. The wheelchair can be driven on the tilting platform and then secured, so that the wheelchair user is transported safely.
