Front tricycle for adults by vanRaam

Are you having trouble estimating the width of a tricycle? Keep reading this article and discover which special tricycles make it easy to gauge the width. vanRaam offers several front tricycles for adults with two wheels at the front and one wheel at the back.
Tricycle with two wheels in front
With a tricycle with 2 wheels in the front (for adults) and one wheel in the back, you can always estimate the width of the bike and see if it fits through or along any part. This gives you certainty and confidence while cycling. The vanRaam Thuja e-bike, featuring two wheels at the front and one at the back, is one such tricycle.
With this tricycle, you sit directly above the pedal bracket, allowing you to pedal straight down and sit relatively high on the bike. This gives you a good overview of both the passenger and the surroundings. A bike with two wheels in the front steers differently from one with a single front wheel, so it may take some time to get used to.
Advantages tricycle for adults with 2 wheels in front
A tricycle with two wheels in front has many advantages:
- You can easily estimate the width; making the bike easier to maneuver in traffic.
- There is more space to mount the bike because the two wheels are at the front. This is especially useful when parked between other bikes in a bike rack.
- You have a clear view of your belongings because the cargo unit is positioned between the front wheels. This provides both peace of mind and a sense of safety while on the road.
- On a tricycle you don’t need to get off when you come to a near stop: you remain stable while seated.
- Need to stop for a moment? The tricycle stays securely in place and won’t tip over unlike a regular two-wheeled bike.
Front tricycle for two to ride together
In addition to the Thuja e-bike, there are also front tricycles with two wheels at the front that are suitable for multiple riders. With these, you can enjoy a bike ride together, even if one person cannot cycle on their own. Here are the differences between the models:
OPair wheelchair bike
The OPair wheelchair bike is specially designed for individuals dependent on a wheelchair. The passenger can easily sit in the seat at the front of the bike.
VeloPlus wheelchair bike
For adults who use a wheelchair and still want to enjoy a bike ride, the VeloPlus wheelchair bike is ideal. With this bike, the passenger can remain seated in their own wheelchair.
Chat rickshaw bike
On the Chat rickshaw bike, the rider can take two passengers seated at the front. The passengers sit side by side in the comfortable seat, allowing easy conversation.
Front tricycle for adults with electric support
The bikes mentioned in this article are all equipped with vanRaam's pedal assistance system. You don't need much power to pedal and the three different pedal assist modes are individually adjustable so that you always get the right support.

Benefits tricycle for adults
If it's not possible to ride a standard two-wheeled bike due to stability problems or other limitations, a three-wheeled bike is a good solution. Due to illness or aging, you may come to the stage where cycling with a standard bicycle is not (or no longer) possible or is no longer safe. The risk of falling is too big and getting on and off the bike is no longer possible, so participating in traffic is no longer safe for you and your fellow road users.
