For physically and/or mentally handicapped people, a therapeutic bike from Van Raam can (again) offer a lot of freedom of movement! Van Raam makes a adapted therapeutic bike for you, so that you can become and remain mobile. In the following you will get to know the Van Raam therapeutic bicycles and you will also learn more about aids, electric motors and experiences of people who have a Van Raam bicycle.
A therapeutic bike is a bicycle that promotes mobility and exercise. A therapy bike also belongs to the product group of mobility aids in the list of aids, but we will come back to this in the course of this article. Therapeutic bicycles have a variety of uses, as tricycles, recumbent bicycles or in special production. Options and accessories such as indicators, backrests and footrests can also have a decisive positive effect on your riding experience and style. These bikes do not only offer healthy reasons to ride them but also many positive aspects which can create a completely new attitude towards life!
Van Raam has different types of therapeutic bikes in the Van Raam assortment available. Besides the standard/traditional therapy tricycles for adults and children, Van Raam also offers comfort tricycles and recumbent tricycles with a comfortable seat and backrest. Furthermore, also include:
Tandems,
Tricycle tandems,

With Van Raam tandems you can enjoy cycling together. Because of the low entrance height or the complete lack of an entrance as well as the various options, the tandems are often used with people who are no longer able to cycle independently. Van Raam offers different types of tandems that you can get to know better.
The Fun2Go Duo bike  from Van Raam is a special tandem with three wheels. Because you sit on them side by side instead of behind each other, this bicycle is also called a parallel tandem. On the tricycle tandem, one person is responsible for steering and braking the bicycle. The passenger next to the rider can pedal along, but cannot steer or brake. Thanks to the duo bicycle trailer FunTrain from Van Raam, it is also possible to cycle with several people at the same time.
The Kivo is a two-wheeled child-parent tandem for one adult sitting in the back and one child sitting in the front. This way the child has a good view of the surroundings. The rider sitting in the back always has a good view of the child from behind. The Kivo has a deep entry and is therefore easy to use. It also has 8 gears and a switchable freewheel as standard. The tandem is also available with three wheels, so if you are looking for more stability when cycling, you should try the Kivo Plus. It has the same functions and advantages as the Kivo, but with three wheels instead of two.
On the Twinny two-wheel tandem for two adults, ascending and descending is easy thanks to the spacious deep entry. More space has been created between the saddle of the person in front and the handlebars of the passenger, so you don't sit too close together. You can decide for yourself how you want to cycle together. With the optional switchable freewheel, you can decide whether and how your co-driver joins in. The tandem is also available with three wheels, the Twinny Plus. This is a tricycle tandem. It has the same functions and advantages as the Twinny, but with three wheels instead of two.

A special and unique feature of the Van Raam system is that you can ride backwards with the pedal assist switched on.
Through the free Van Raam E-Bike App you can set a different support mode on your Van Raam bike. Read more about the electrical system and the app on the pedal assist page. Furthermore, all bikes can be equipped with many different options and accessories. For example, the Fun2Go with a rotatable seat.
