Customer experience Fun2Go duo bike - Gérard Gatard
Gérard and his wife regularly go on vacations in France with the camper, but because his wife has a bad leg and the camper places are quite far from the city centers, it is sometimes difficult to visit places. Therefore, in 2020, they purchased the Fun2Go duo bike. Read Gérard's message to Van Raam here.
