To make a bike ride more comfortable and safer Van Raam offers different saddles or seats as tandem bike accessories. On the tandems you can choose a Platter Puch saddle or a suspendable seat post. Furthermore, there is the possibility to mount a back support. This can be advantageous if your passenger needs more support.
3. Belt for backrest
You want a backrest and a little more support on your tandem bicycle? To support the backrest even more, and if a slight fixation is necessary a backrest can be provided with a belt, this must be ordered separately.
4. Footrests for tandems
It is possible on all Van Raam tandem bicycles to mount one or more footrests on the pedals. This gives you more stability and safety while cycling. The footrests as tandem accessories are adjustable in length and width. Van Raam has 2 versions Fix 20 and Fix 25. Fix 20 is suitable for shoe size 22 -36 and Fix 25 is suitable for shoe size 37-48.

5. Double transfer kickstand
In the standard version, the two-wheel tandems of Van Raam have a normal bike stand. Optionally, however, a double transfer kickstand can be attached. This gives you more stability on the Kivo and Twinny when the passenger gets on the bike. So the passenger can sit on his seat in peace without you have to support the bike yet extra. If necessary, you can also help the adukt or child to fasten possible belts.
6. Frame height
If the standard frame height of 52 cm does not suit you, you can adjust it optoional.
For the Twinny and Twinny Plus:
deepen by 9 cm to 43 cm
increase by 9 cm to 61 cm.
So you can raise or lower the Twinny range as a whole. However, you can also raise or lower the front or rear individually. This frame adjustment can also be done at the rearside of the Kivo tandems.
At the front of the Kivo tandem series you can increase or decrease the frame height:
by 4 cm (to 26 cm)
or increase it by 4 cm (to 39 cm).
7. Shortened pedal crank
In case of leg difference or knee restriction, this can be compensated with a pedal crank shortener, so that you can ride your tandem bike without restriction or pain.
8. Choose who steers
On the Twinny series, that is the two-wheel tandem Twinny and three-wheel tandem Twinny Plus, you can optionally choose that the person sitting in the back is steering. By default the steering sits with the person in the front. So choose if you want the front or rear steering.
On the Kivo Tandem series the steering is always with the person that sits in the back.
9. Mirrors
For a greater sense of security while cycling can be placed on the tandem one or two mirrors on the handlebars. With this tandem accessories they no longer need to turn around while cycling to be able to see behind.

Van Raam's tandems can all be equipped with SmartGuard tires. With these tires it is (when used correctly) almost impossible to get a flat tire, i.e. to have a flat or punctured tire.
