Two person bike

Two person bike

The bicycle is a popular means of transport. Besides the normal two-wheel bike, you see more and more special or adapted bikes in the streets. For example, more and more use is being made of a two person bike, such as the Fun2Go duo bike, also called the side-by-side tandem, and the wheelchair transport bike VeloPlus. A duo bike (two person bicycle) is the ideal bike for elderly people who can no longer cycle independently, blind people, people with balance problems, people with disabilities and people who are wheelchair dependent. However, there are more bicycles for two people available. Discover in this article the eight 2 person bicycles in the Van Raam range.

All Van Raam bicycles can be equipped with many different options and accessories. As a result, the bike is completely adapted to your wishes and needs. On the product pages of the bike in question, you will find the price lists with all options and accessories. It is also possible to put together your own bicycle for two people with the online configurator. Here, you can also see exactly which options are available for the chosen bike. As soon as you have put together your bike yourself, you will receive a quote by e-mail that you can take with you to your Van Raam dealer. However, we always recommend making a test ride first before buying a special needs bike, so you will be sure that the bike fits your needs perfectly. A test ride can be made at Van Raam (the Netherlands) or ask your dealer about the possibilities.

Delivery of a 2 person bike

Regularly, a two person (electric) bikes are delivered to happy customers. Below you can see the delivery of a Fun2Go 1 duo bike and read some experiences from our customers.

Delivery Fun2Go side by side bike for Raisin Hope Foundation

Side-by-side tandem for the Zilvermeeuw

Activity center the Zilvermeeuw (provider of daytime activities, labor and labor training to people aged 18 and over with a physical handicap, chronic illness and/or non-born brain injury) has been awarded an electric side-by-side tandem by the Raisin Hope Foundation (RHF). The THF supports victims of traumatic brain injuries and their loved ones.

The side-by-side tandem at the Zilvermeeuw is the first special needs bike which was entirely powder coated in the RHF green color by Van Raam. With the duo bike, the RHF foundation wants to stimulate its target group to move because this has a demonstrably very positive effect on rehabilitation and staying vital. Cycling is a perfect activity for this purpose and because cycling on a conventional two-wheel bicycle is not possible for everyone with brain damage, the duo bike is the ideal means of transport.
