King Charles and his wife Camilla visited Northern Ireland on March 22, 2022. During this visit they also took a ride on the Van Raam Fun2Go twin bike.
Former prince Charles and Camilla started their visit in Cookstown where they stopped by the Superstars Cafe. This is a social enterprise where young people with learning disabilities receive training and work. During this visit they also took a ride on Van Raam's Fun2Go side-by-side tandem. The couple did not know that the parking brake of the twin bike was still fixed, which created a funny moment.

The Fun2Go is a three-wheel tandem on which you sit side by side.Because you are sitting next to each other, you can easily communicate with each other and enjoy the surroundings together. The driver has full control over the bike and the passenger can optionally pedal along. Because of this, the bike is perfect for people who can not (or no longer) participate in traffic individually.
