"We now have two excellent branches in Soest and De Bilt. Recently, I was test-riding a bike in the shopping street when I bumped into a regular customer on his Easy Rider. We stopped for a chat and talked about the service he'd had done in Soest. The gentleman joked: 'Luckily, I don't cycle that much.' But meanwhile, his odometer already shows 8,000 kilometres, and that's in less than a year! The bike won't even be a year old until September 2025. He also had a double battery fitted. Given the intensive mileage he's clocking up, we've drawn up a special maintenance schedule for him."
"We are a unique shop in the centre of the Netherlands. As a Bike Totaal store, we offer the finest bicycle collection. Our workshop is fully equipped and renovated for the future of vanRaam. Here, we aim to deliver the quality that vanRaam also stands for."
"The vanRaam Easy Rider is my favourite model because this tricycle makes a difference for so many people. It combines stability, comfort, and support in a way that makes cycling enjoyable and accessible again. Whether you have less strength, struggle with balance, or simply want a bit of extra security while cycling: the Easy Rider offers confidence from the very first pedal stroke."
"We are perfectly accessible by car and bicycle. You can park for free right outside the door. Bike Totaal Smeeing Soest is also easily accessible by public transport. There's a bus stop right outside, just 50 metres away."
