How are Van Raam wheelchair bikes suitable for children?

Read here how you can easily cycle with children on the Van Raam wheelchair bikes:

Child as passenger on the OPair

  • The depth adjustable seat of the OPair can be adjusted to the body dimensions of the passenger. Optional side supports are available, allowing the seat width to be adjusted. This makes the bike also suitable for children and smaller adults.

  • Special 4- and 5-point belts are available for a child. Thanks to the belts, a child is firmly secured in the seat.

  • You can choose special footrests for a child (these are not retractable) or foot fixation for a child (shoe size 22-36).

  • If the seat of the OPair is not suitable, then it is possible to place an own seat on the bike. Van Raam can provide a receiver adapter for an R82 seating unit.
