Van Raam tricycle for invalid

Why a tricycle?

A tricycle can be the perfect solution for invalid people who cannot (or can no longer) cycle on a regular two-wheeler or for people who are afraid of falling while cycling. Read more about this in the article: 'Avoid falling off the bike and choose a tricycle'. The tricycle can be a solution for an invalid, because the tricycle always remains upright. This is due to the extra, third wheel on the bicycle. There is no need to hold the bicycle and keep it in balance or get off the bike during a stop. You can stay on the tricycle and keep both feet on the pedals. The tricycle is therefore very suitable for people who have difficulty keeping their balance.

If you have become an invalid person, switching from a two-wheeler to a tricycle can be difficult, you suddenly have a completely different way of transportation with which you have to learn to cope. It can also feel very insecure, because with a tricycle it is more visible that you have a disability. To remove some uncertainty, read more about the use of the tricycle in the article: 'Cycling on a tricycle for adults'. If you have a good feel for cycling on a tricycle, you will be a lot more confident on your bike.

Tricycles come in different shapes and sizes and each tricycle has its own unique characteristics. It is therefore important to take a good look at which tricycle suits you best. This can be done by making a test ride on different tricycles.
