Advantages of the revolutionary Easy Colour Ink technology
This new technology offers many benefits for the cyclist:

How to change the bike colour with the Easy Colour Ink technology?
The colour of the bike frame can be adjusted by operating the Silent smart display. With the button module of the display, you can manually select the desired colour. To do this, press and hold the mode button and the plus button for 2 seconds. This will take you to the settings of the Silent smart display. Then click on 'Easy Colour Ink mode' to enter the Easy Colour mode.
There are 3 categories to choose from in the Easy Colour mode:
There is a basic category, which gives you a choice of more than 100 colours;
In the disco category, the frame changes colour constantly;
In the print category, you can choose a frame with a pattern, such as tiger print, flower print, or polka dots.
The Easy Colour Ink technology is a sustainable solution with which you stand out in traffic.
How does the Easy Colour Ink technology work?
The Easy Colour Ink technology is an innovative powder coating developed for and by Van Raam. With this technology, the cyclist can change the colour of a Van Raam bike frame during a cycling trip.
The Easy Colour Ink powder coating has millions of microcapsules. With electrical signals, the microcapsules with negatively charged white pigments and positively charged black pigments can be controlled, creating different shades or patterns.
