Géraldine Roucou is Mobility Development Manager at Marconnet Technologies, a major player in adapted mobility for people with reduced mobility since 2004. In this article, she tells us more about what makes Marconnet Technologies so unique as a premium dealer.
« We became a premium vanRaam dealer because their bikes perfectly match our vision of adapted bikes: robust, reliable, scalable solutions designed to give users real independence.
vanRaam designs bikes that fit into very different lifestyles: individuals, institutions, aging people, and those with temporary or permanent disabilities. It is this adaptability, combined with consistent manufacturing quality, that made this partnership an obvious choice.
For us, being a premium dealer means providing better support to our customers over the long term. »
Our support begins even before the model is chosen.
We take the time to understand: current functional abilities, any anticipated changes, the context of use (location, surroundings, independence, frequency), as well as any psychological barriers or apprehensions.
We then offer comprehensive support, including:
real tests
precise bike adjustment during the tests
in-depth discussion after the session to adjust or reorient the choice
We do not seek to “fit” the user into a model. We seek the model that fits the user.
Throughout the year, we organize:
individual trial sessions, sometimes in conjunction with occupational therapists or healthcare providers
discovery days to enable relatives, caregivers, or professionals to understand the benefits of vanRaam bikes
field activities, because seeing an adapted bike in action completely changes your perspective.
These moments are essential: they dispel doubts, restore confidence, and often enable us to take a step forward. »
"Our role doesn't end with delivery. We support our customers with ongoing adjustments (the body changes, and so do needs) and gradual familiarization. We also provide maintenance and technical adjustments, and ensure continuity of use.
Many customers contact us again after several months to optimize their practice. That's exactly how we see our job."
"There are many, but some stand out more than others.
For example, I remember a customer who hadn't ridden a bike in years, convinced that ‘it wasn't for her anymore’.
After trying out the Easy Rider compact tricycle for the first time, she bought one with the aim of going on outings with her friends and family again.
A few weeks later, when the tricycle was delivered, she told us, ‘I didn't think cycling could ever be a normal part of my life again’.
That's exactly why we do this job."
"What sets us apart is our approach:
A detailed understanding of functional needs
a genuine ability to listen
hands-on knowledge of real-world uses
and long-term support
We don't sell adapted bikes.
We help people regain their chosen mobility".
“This is our most rented bicycle, and that’s mainly because of its versatility. It is very popular in nursing homes and specialist care facilities. The bike is suitable for everyone: people with limited mobility, people with disabilities, older adults and even able-bodied users!”
“Our workshop and showroom are located at exit 10 of the A36. The industrial estate is accessible by cycle paths and public transport. There is a train station 15 minutes away, which means we can quickly pick up visitors for a test ride. In front of our workshop, there is a very large, free car park.”

Do you doubt your balance on a bike? Do e-bikes, cargo bikes, and scooters around you make you feel insecure? Or do you react a little slower than you used to? With vanRaam’s models, cycling is always possible, because we focus on what is possible. This constantly leads to new ideas. Jolien Heeman, Director of Product Management: “If it hasn’t been invented yet, we’ll invent it ourselves.”
Cycling is like a vitamin for your body. Hopping on your bike a few times a week improves your fitness, strengthens your muscles, and helps you stay in shape. But did you know that cycling also makes your brain stronger? Every ride is medicine for your mind. It even lowers the risk of brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s. But how does that work exactly?
