Reducing speed on bicycle paths

It is becoming increasingly crowded on the bicycle paths. More and more people have an e-bike and accidents often happen because people cycle too fast. Therefore, the Dutch government wants to reduce the speed on bicycle paths in the Netherlands by installing speed cameras. Before the end of the year, the speed cameras will be placed on the cycle paths and there will be different cycling zones with a maximum speed of 10, 15 or 25 km/h. Do you have a (Van Raam) bike? Then you will soon have to watch out that you do not cycle too fast for the speed cameras and receive a fine.

How does it work exactly?

The current Van Raam Smart E-Bike App can communicate with the bicycle. Thanks to push notifications, you know, for example, when to charge your battery. New is that we will inform you via the app about the speed limit and any speed cameras. In addition, Van Raam can adjust the speed of your bicycle as soon as you enter a speed camera zone.

Test phase at Van Raam bike test track

At Van Raam, we are now working on the first tests. These tests take place on the bike test track at our bicycle factory in Varsseveld, the Netherlands. We have installed a speed camera in order to be able to test in a representative way. The first results look good and we hope to launch the updated app this summer.
