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.

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).
