Side-by-side tandem Fun2Go very suitable for care facility
The Van Raam Fun2Go duo bike is a very suitable multi-person bike for the elderly and for care facilities.

The co-driver can cycle at his or her own pace. The Fun2Go always has 8 gears on the driver's side, on the co-driver's side there is the possibility of a freewheel hub, an 8-speed hub, a shiftable freewheel hub or a combination.
With the Fun2Go you sit next to each other, the main driver always has a good view on the co-driver and you can have a nice chat while cycling. Because the Fun2Go has no entry, most people can easily get on the side-by-side tandem. The optional rotatable seat makes this even easier.
Many care facilities have a duo bike, so it is often possible for family to rent or borrow it for a day. Volunteers and caregivers also often go cycling with elderly people from care institutions.
