With Van Raam's bicycles it is also possible to cycle together as a person with limited mobility. At Van Raam this is possible with wheelchair bikes, tandems, side-by-side tandems or transport bikes. On these bikes it is possible to cycle as a disabled person with the tandems and duo bikes. If a person with reduced mobility is unable or unwilling to cycle, wheelchair and transport bicycles are a good solution.

Tandems

Van Raam's tandems are multi-person bicycles and are used to enjoy cycling together. Because of the low entry or lack of entry and the different options the tandems are often used with people who can no longer cycle independently. There are regular tandems available where you sit one after the other. The Twinny is a tandem with two wheels for two adults and the Twinny Plus is the same version only with three wheels, because of these extra two rear wheels you have more stability. The Kivo is a child + parent tandem and the Kivo Plus is the same tandem bike, only with two wheels at the back. The Fun2Go is a tricycle tandem where you sit next to each other, this variant is also called a side-by-side tandem.

With the Van Raam tandems, there is always one person that will control the bike. The tandems can also be ordered with electric pedal support.

Customer experience tricycle Midi - Rosita Rampertaap
My name is Rosita Rampertaap, I’m 34 years old and I live in Brummen. For years I have a tricycle made by Van Raam. I have the Midi model, since I'm not that big. I have this because of my handicap. As a result of a Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy, my balance is disturbed, which means that I cannot cycle on a regular bicycle.

User experience tricycle Easy Rider - Koos and Lina Nieuwenhuizen
At the end of June, my wife and I saw by coincidence a flag from Van Raam in Waalwijk, the Netherlands. It turned out that Van Raam was there with a stand during the Medipoint Eropuit Days. Peter Cijs, representative of Van Raam, was also present at this stand, with whom we had a chat. My wife has been cycling on the adapted tricycle Easy Rider for a year now, so we were already familiar with the brand. When Peter Cijs asked if we wanted to contribute to a user experience, I agreed, but I have indicated that I am critical.

Customer experience scooter bike Easy Go - Astrid van der Plank
I am Astrid van der Plank (44) and I own the Easy Go scooter bike since July 2018. I use a scooter bike because I have Spinocerebellar Ataxia type 28 (SCA28). SCA28 is a rare chronic neurological disease that, among other things, causes balance and coordination problems. When I could no longer cycle on a bike with two wheels, because I fell continuously, I started looking at alternatives. I tried several Van Raam bikes, but nowadays I am happy to use my scooter bike Easy Go.

User experience rickshaw bike Chat - Debbeshoek Azora
In September 2019, residential care centre and nursing home Debbeshoek Azora in Ulft experienced the Chat rickshaw bike for a week. The reason why this handy transport bike was delivered to the residential care centre was due to a photo shoot of the Chat that had taken place a few months earlier. During this photo shoot, two older ladies who had been friends for years became true models for a day and were allowed to go out with a professional photographer and a team of Van Raam. Cintha Peters, group supervisor DOS, day care and team welfare, wrote down the experiences of the residents on behalf of Debbeshoek.
