Van Raam

For example, the Easy Rider, a very comfortable, stable tricycle with a seat with a back seat and a low seating position. Read more about this unique tricycle with back seat here.
Tricycle with back seat
The Easy Rider adult tricycle from Van Raam has a unique and steady frame. There is a low entry and a stable lower seating position. The comfortable back seat guarantees a comfortable bike ride and is adjustable. The advantage of this seat is that it gives a lot of support to the back, has a comfortable seating position and you can adjust the amount of support, which is very nice when cycling with back problems. Because of the special cycling position, you have less strain on your back, neck, shoulders and wrists. Read more unique riding characteristics in the article: 'Unique riding characteristics of the Easy Rider tricycle'.
The straps at the back of the backrest can be adjusted by using Velcro to provide proper support. In addition, the angle of the back seat can be adjusted independently of the seat. Read more about adjusting the back seat in the article: 'How to adjust the seat on the Easy Rider tricycle?'.
Your centre of gravity is lower on this bike, making you feel safe and secure. The forward pedal movement and the suspended frame give you perfect cycling comfort. It is no coincidence that the Easy Rider tricycle has been voted test winner by the Norwegian government.
When riding the Easy Rider you can enjoy a special cycling experience. This tricycle is ideal for people with balance problems, but who still want to ride a sporty bike.

Bike tour with the tricycle
Gunda Krauss has been riding an Easy Rider tricycle for a long time. After Gunda had two hip surgeries, she could no longer ride a 'standard' two-wheel bike. When she heard of the existence of the Easy Rider tricycle, Gunda thought: 'I'm going to live my dream!' Gunda planned to make a lot of bike rides.
In the Chiemgau region near our dealer Tour-me there are endless possibilities to cycle. For sporty cyclists, young and old, there is the right route for everyone. Elderly and disabled people, who do not feel safe on a bicycle with two wheels, can also ride a tricycle. Gunda has had a more powerful Silent HT motor from Van Raam installed on the tricycle with back seat, because she cycles about 6,000 kilometres a year. Gunda wanted to make it clear that cycling is not only for young, energetic people, but also for seniors and elderly with a disability.
