If cycling becomes difficult due to your disability, a specialised bicycle for disabled people such as a tricycle or tandem is often the solution. With an adapted bike, disabled cycling becomes possible and enjoyable again, whether riding solo or with company. vanRaam offers a wide range of bikes for people with disabilities, suitable for various situations and specific needs. In this article, we will tell you more about the possibilities.
A bicycle for disabled people is different from a traditional two-wheeler. Consider, for example, a tricycle, a wheelchair bike, or a scooter bike. An adapted vanRaam bike is especially made for people with a disability. Because everyone is unique, there are many different types of adapted bikes. vanRaam has a lot of different models of bikes, so there is often a bike to suit your needs.  These bikes can be customised with many options, such as pedal assistance or accessories. You can also read all about the vanRaam therapy bikes in our article 'A therapeutic bike from vanRaam'.
vanRaam's vision is: 'vanRaam makes a difference for people who cannot ride a standard two-wheel bike. Through a customised bike, people get outside, go out, and connect with each other. For people who cannot cycle independently, vanRaam has several multi-person bikes, allowing this group to experience the ultimate cycling pleasure with a companion.' We want everyone to be able to cycle, even if a disability can impede cycling. Not only is cycling healthy, but it also provides the opportunity to be outdoors and experience a feeling of freedom. With special needs bicycle for people with a disability, almost everyone gets the chance to enjoy cycling again.
vanRaam offers adapted bikes across various categories. Below, we will briefly tell you more about each category.
People who are no longer able to cycle on a regular two-wheeler can find a good and safe alternative with a tricycle. A tricycle provides stability and thus creates a feeling of safety while cycling. vanRaam's tricycles include traditional tricycles, sit tricycles and tricycles with two wheels at the front. Read more about vanRaam bikes for invalid in the article 'Van Raam tricycle for invalid'.
With a wheelchair bicycle for disabled people, you can transport someone who uses a wheelchair by bike. vanRaam offers the VeloPlus wheelchair transport bike and the OPair wheelchair bike for this purpose.
vanRaam's tandems are designed to allow people with disabilities to enjoy cycling together. With a low step-through or no step-through at all, and a wide range of options, these bikes are often used with people for who can no longer cycle independently. At vanRaam we have tandems with two wheels and three-wheel tandems.
The Fun2Go side-by-side tandem from vanRaam is a three-wheel tandem where you sit next to each other rather than behind one another. This type of cycle is ideal for cycling for disabled people, as one person steers and brakes while the other can pedal along. With the FunTrain side-by-side tandem trailer, it is even possible to cycle with up to five people at the same time.
vanRaam's low step-through bikes are comfortable bikes for people with disabilities. With the uniquely developed frame you have an ergonomic sitting position and you can reach the ground with two feet without stepping off.
The Easy Go scooter bike from vanRaam is a unique bicycle for disabled people. Either you cycle completely independently or you pedal along with the electric pedal support or you ride with with support via a throttle, which you can operate with your thumb. This is possible with different levels of support and different speeds.
The vanRaam transport bike is specially designed for children and adults who cannot or do not wish to participate in traffic independently. With the transport bike people come outdoors again, who normally can't enjoy cycling in the fresh air. Our cargo bikes give everyone a special feeling of freedom. You can feel the wind in your hair again and go out with friends and family.
Besides special needs bikes for adults, we also make special needs bikes for children with a disability. There are bicycles with which children with a disability can cycle themselves and special bicycles with which they can cycle together. There are also bicycles with which children with a disability can be transported.
An adapted vanRaam bicycle comes in a standard version. To adapt a special needs bike to the disability, it is possible to add options to the bike. Via the online configurator it is possible to put together your own bike and add these options to your bike of choice. You will receive this configuration in your mail and you can take it with you to your dealer or test ride.
Most vanRaam bikes are available as an e-bike. An electric bicycle, also called an e-bike, provides pedal support while cycling. This helps a person who cannot cycle that far without support. vanRaam has developed its own pedal support system, in which the wishes of people with a disability have been taken into account. This award-winning, unique system is characterized by its simple operation, the possibility to cycle backwards and the possibility to program the assistance individually, adapted to your disability. The vanRaam pedal assistance can be used in combination with the vanRaam E-Bike app.
Various options can be mounted on a special needs bike. There are several possibilities to take a medical device with you on a adapted bike, such as a walker holder preparation or stick holder. A special saddle or handlebar is also an option. For some disabilities, options such as a foot fixation, a backrest, belts or a eccentric crank are an option. Various models of adapted bicycles can also be reinforced or extended. This way, every bike for people with a disability is fully tailored to your situation.
