A womens low step bike is a special bike for with a low entry for women who have difficulty getting on and off a bike. The low step through means that you do not have to lift your leg as high to get on and off the bike.
Van Raam has one type of women's bicycle with a low step through. This is the two-wheeler Balance. The Van Raam's bicycle with a low step through also has a unique frame. You do not sit above the crankshaft, but slightly behind it. The seating position is therefore lower, allowing you to reach the ground with both feet and still make an optimal knee movement. You can therefore easily make a stop, for example at a traffic light, while remaining seated on your saddle.
The Balance low step through bike for women is a unique bicycle. Because of the special frame, you can still cycle with an optimally straight leg, but you can also put both feet flat on the ground without stepping off. Because of the more forward pedalling motion you make, the power of your legs is better used than with a traditional two-wheeler. Moreover, the Balance offers a very good ergonomic sitting position. Wrists, neck and shoulders are hardly burdened while cycling.
Benefits of the Balance:
Van Raam's low step bikes for women can also be equipped with pedal support. The special Van Raam pedal support system was developed by and for Van Raam, specifically for its special needs bikes. The system is characterized by its ease use, the possibility to cycle backwards (with a tricycle), and the possibility to program the support individually. In addition, the e-bike is also a Smart E-Bike.
Benefits of the Van Raam e-bike with low step through:
At Van Raam, there is no difference in appearance or riding characteristics between a women's bike with a low step through or a men's bike with a low step through.

With a colour of your choice and various options and accessories (such as a panniers, basket, mirror, or stick holder), you can adjust the bicycle to your needs and wishes, thus creating your own women's low step bike.

Van Raam manufactures unique adapted bikes, for people who can not (no longer) ride a normal bike. This also includes bikes for older ladies.
In recent years, most deadly victims in traffic have been cyclists. Older cyclists on an electric bicycle are the main victims. Many of the articles in newspapers where these traffic accidents are named, point out the cause of these accidents: people often fall while getting on and off the bicycle, especially when sudden breaking is needed or when they need to come off the bike unexpectedly. An increased start speed or unexpected engine activity cause people to fall. Most accidents could have been prevented with a different type of electric bike, a type that does not cause difficulty when getting on and off and one of which the pedal support power assistance does not (de)activate unexpectedly. Van Raam manufactures the ideal bike for elderly: the (Tavara) Balance. Read more about the low step through bike Balance here.
