Since January 2026, the Véligo Location service has offered several vanRaam adapted bikes, providing tailored solutions for all the mobility needs of Île-de-France residents: low-step bikes, tricycles, tandems, and wheelchair trikes. This collaboration marks a major step forward in making cycling accessible across Île-de-France. Discover the available models and how this service works.
Since its launch in 2019, Véligo Location has won over more than 130,000 Île-de-France residents. This long-term rental service (6 to 9 months) allows users to test electric-assisted bikes (e-bikes), cargo bikes, and now vanRaam adapted bikes before adopting them permanently.
In 2026, Véligo Location is expanding its range with 19 new models, including 5 vanRaam adapted bikes:
The low-step Balance bike
The Easy Rider and Easy Rider Compact tricycles
The side-by-side Fun2Go tandem
The adult-child Kivo tandem
The wheelchair trike VeloPlus
This new fleet meets all cycling mobility needs: families, seniors, caregivers, professionals, and individuals with disabilities or reduced mobility.
Jan-Willem Boezel, CEO of vanRaam, states: "We are very proud to have delivered over 300 adapted bikes in Île-de-France for the Véligo Location service, allowing residents to discover—accessibly and temporarily—our bikes designed for those who can no longer use traditional bikes. This service helps provide independent mobility to Île-de-France residents while promoting greater acceptance, visibility, and usability of these special bikes."
To support this expansion, Île-de-France Mobilités is rolling out Maisons du Vélo across the region. Residents can find information about the rental service and cycling infrastructure, as well as repair and maintenance services, events, and workshops to learn and connect with the cycling community. Short-term rentals are also available before committing to a long-term lease. By 2030, 40 Maisons du Vélo are planned, including mobile versions.
With over 110 years of expertise, vanRaam is the world’s leading manufacturer of adapted bikes. All vanRaam bikes are designed and built in our high-tech factory in the Netherlands, the birthplace of cycling innovation.
At vanRaam, we don’t just make bikes—we create tailor-made mobility solutions. Our bikes are designed to adapt to each user, with countless options and accessories to meet every need, whether for stability, adaptations related to a medical condition or disability, or simply for greater comfort and safety.
Our collaboration with Fleeta, a specialist in bike fleet management, enabled the delivery of over 300 vanRaam bikes for the new Véligo Location fleet. vanRaam is thus strengthening its ability to meet the demands of an ambitious public service.
