Tricycle for seniors

Your bike can change from a convenience to a danger when you get older, your sense of balance gets worse and you are scared to fall when you cycle. Fortunately, more and more seniors have the solution to stay mobile and opt for a tricycle. With this bike you do not have to keep your balance, you keep moving and you remain independent.

The tricycle

A tricycle is a bicycle with two wheels at the front or rear. Because of the third wheel you do not have to keep a balance yourself and you are stable and safe. Even when you are standing still you can stay seated on the bike and you will not fall over.

Hit the road safe and be independent with the tricycle

Are you afraid or no longer able to cycle on a regular bicycle? Have you ever fallen off your bicycle and did this make you insecure? Or are you getting more and more trouble to keep your balance? Then perhaps a tricycle is the solution!
 
Being afraid or not being able to cycle on a regular bike is not always a reason to buy a mobility scooter. The tricycle is not as well known as an intermediate step between bicycle and mobility scooter, but gradually you see more and more seniors who opt for a tricycle. A bike with three wheels ensures that you can keep cycling, even if you have a poorer balance. With the tricycle you keep moving and you keep your freedom.

Seniors can keep cycling thanks to the tricycle

More and more older people who no longer dare to cycle on a normal two-wheeler bike discover the advantages of a tricycle and can therefore continue to cycle. Especially seniors who can and want to move more and more often opt for the tricycle instead of a mobility scooter. Read some stories from seniors who cycle on a tricycle or the story of Herman de Grijff in the article: "Hundred-year-old man cycles on Van Raam Easy Rider tricycle".

Practicing with a tricycle

If you ride a tricycle for the first time, you have to get used to it. Because the bike has three wheels and keeps itself in balance, you must unlearn to keep your balance yourself. Especially elderly people who have cycled on a bike with two wheels for years should remember that a tricycle cycles completely differently. It is therefore very important to practice first, because you do not have to use your sense of balance - what you use on a regular bicycle. Read tips for cycling on a tricycle.

In addition, it is very important to know that each type of tricycle has different driving characteristics. For example, the Easy Rider tricycle from Van Raam is very different from a Maxi tricycle.
