Measures related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) at Van Raam

Update: April 13, 2022

Van Raam is still open for a test ride by appointment. The safety and health of our visitors and employees is our top priority. Van Raam follows the guidelines of the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) with regard to the coronavirus.

Test ride possible

Our showroom in Varsseveld is open for private counseling. Private counseling at Van Raam means that four test rides or fittings take place with a technical advisor in our showroom. During this test drive, the appointments take place in a different part of the showroom, so that sufficient distance can be kept and everyone can comply with the measures of the RIVM (Dutch State Institute for Public Health). This makes it possible to make a test ride on a Van Raam adapted bicycle.

Everyone may bring a maximum of 2 other persons during to the test ride and a face mask will be worn upon request.

If there are changes in this, this will be communicated via the Van Raam website.

Read all about private counseling in the article 'Private counseling at Van Raam in connection with coronavirus'.

Orders and repairs of Van Raam bicycles

For the time being, we still produce bicycles, do repairs and have enough parts in stock. In this time we are lucky to make a lot in-house. Deliveries, orders and repairs continue for the time being, it is possible that in some cases bicycles are not allowed to cross the border.

Don't come if you have a cold

We adhere and also request our visitors to observe the national guidelines issued by RIVM.

Do you have an appointment with Van Raam and do you have (mild) cold complaints? (sneezing, sore throat, runny nose, light coughing or an increase to 38 degrees) Then we request that you contact us and cancel the appointment, stay at home and avoid (social) contacts. You are more than welcome at a later moment at Van Raam!

Tip from bike manufacturer Van Raam

Tip from Van Raam about the 'new normal'

The corona crisis is slowly causing everyone to get used to a different way of working. For example, companies need to look at how they can apply the 'new normal' in their company. The aim of the 'Groen is Gaon' (Green is Go)  initiative is to use pictograms and posters to give everyone in the Achterhoek region (a region in the Netherlands, where Van Raam is located) something to hold on to, making it easier to get used to the new normal and have trust again. The initiative also helps to show visitors how to safely interact with each other. For example, Van Raam gives a tip about the use of your own laptops and Microsoft Teams during meetings, so that you no longer have to look at one screen with multiple people. Read in the article 'Tip from bike manufacturer Van Raam about the new normal' more about 'Groen is Gaon' and Van Raam's tip here.
