The Fun2Go duo bike is intended for people who can no longer cycle independently, for example due to a disability or their age. With the Fun2Go you cycle with two persons next to each other, a driver and a co-driver. In this way people who can no longer cycle independently can still cycle together with a companion. Until corona put an abrupt end to this. Because how can you keep your distance if you cycle with two people next to each other?
Keeping a distance is difficult, which is why Van Raam created a physical barrier between the driver and the co-driver. With the protection screen in between, people can ride the Fun2Go together again, without (possibly) infecting the other person. Van Raam's goal is to let everyone cycle again, whether it is a physical disability or whether cycling is restricted by external influences. By developing a protection screen, users of the Fun2Go duo bike can still go out and enjoy a bike ride together in times of corona.
The protection screen is made of polyurethane film and is fully transparent. The screen is therefore not only safer in terms of corona measures, but also safe because no visibility is taken away from the driver. The driver and co-driver can still see the surroundings and each other and 'just' chat with each other. The protection screen is also no obstacle to the optional rotatable seat on the Fun2Go double rider cycle.
Polyurethane film is a thin but strong plastic material. It weighs almost nothing and is therefore much less heavy than (plexi)glass, making it easier to mount on the bike. In addition, the film is very flexible, which gives it a very high tear resistance. Because of this you don't get hurt either. Polyurethane film is easy to clean. With water, soap and possibly screen cleaner you can easily clean the surface.
The protection screen is easy to attach and remove. The screen is pre-assembled, as are the mounting blocks that are placed on the bike. All parts are delivered in a box.You can mount the mounting blocks (front and rear) on the bike yourself. By mounting the blocks at the right distance, the screen is also easy to tension. With the quick-release devices on the mounting blocks, the screen can easily be detached and attached. Mounting the blocks of the entire screen on the bicycle will take a maximum of half an hour. Once the mounting blocks are in place, you can remove the screen in a minute and put it back on again. With direct family from the same household, you can also quickly cycle without a screen. Can't you assemble the screen? Please contact us and we'll be happy to help you.

Thuisbij Uitgeest is a day care centre for the elderly with dementia and memory problems. Thuisbij offers these people a pleasant day by means of meeting, relaxing and learning from each other. They also own a Fun2Go double rider cycle with which they like to take a ride through the area together with the elderly. Thuisbij Uitgeest has received a first version of the protection screen and has already taken a number of rides with it on the Fun2Go. They loved being able to give a safe high five again while cycling.
