Our folding adult tricycles are built around you. But once you've found the right bike, the next question is often a practical one: where does it live, and how do you get it there?
For riders who want to take their tricycle in the car, store it in a smaller space, or simply have more flexibility in how they use it, several vanRaam models are available with a split frame. It's one of those options that sounds like a minor detail until you actually need it, at which point a folding adult tricycle makes an enormous difference.
A split frame tricycle isn't a folding tricycle in the traditional sense. The frame doesn't collapse or fold flat. Instead, the front section detaches cleanly from the rear: the front fork, front wheel, and handlebar come away as one unit, leaving a significantly more compact bike that's much easier to lift, manoeuvre, and fit into a car boot.
Reattaching the two sections is straightforward and doesn't require any tools. The connection is secure and stable, so there's no compromise on the ride itself.
How to divide the Easy Rider tricycle?
Three models in the vanRaam range are available with a split frame:
The Easy Rider is vanRaam's most popular tricycle and the most common choice for this option. The split frame makes it practical to transport to a favourite cycling spot, take on holiday, or store in a garage where space is tight.
The Maxi is a traditional upright tricycle for adults. The split frame version retains all the stability and confidence of the standard Maxi, with the added benefit of a more compact footprint for storage and transport.
The Midi is a tricycle for children and smaller adults. The split frame option makes it particularly useful for families who want to take the bike out and about without needing a large vehicle.
All three tricycles are available with vanRaam's Silent System electric pedal assist. Near-silent, individually programmable, and with a start assist for smooth pull-aways, the Silent System makes longer distances and hillier terrain genuinely manageable. The reverse function is a particular advantage when manoeuvring in tighter spaces.
Use the vanRaam online configurator to add a split frame to your chosen model alongside any other options, such as a mirror, a basket, electric assist, or foot fixation.
The best way to understand how the split frame works in practice is to see it in person. Book a test ride at your nearest vanRaam dealer and ask to see the option on the day. No pressure, no obligation, just a chance to find out if it's right for you.
