Find out what the Easy Sport has to offer in terms of quality, possibilities for customisation using the available accessories and user-friendliness.

In the category 'tricycle with seat, alternative steering system, two wheels in the back, transmission and auxiliary motor, for school-age children, adolescents and adults - active users', in addition to the Easy Sport recumbent tricycle by Van Raam, the Kettwiesel E and H by Hase, the Trigo D by Hase and the Relax by Draisin were tested.

The seating position gives a more secure and stable feeling as it is close to the rear wheels.

Van Raam Easy Sport

The sporty tricycle Easy Sport stood out because it offers many individual settings that ensure that this recumbent bike can be adapted to the individual user. Furthermore, the Easy Sport has a good seat height which provides a good mobility for people with reduced mobility as the seat and backrest can be adjusted separately to suit your needs. The seating position gives a more secure and stable feeling as it is close to the rear wheels. The existing parking brake ensures that the recumbent bike remains stable and that the rider can easily get on and off the bike, e.g. if there are balance problems.

Despite the low prices offered by other suppliers in this tender, the Easy Sport was the best recumbent bike in the overall evaluation. This again shows that quality and experience are ultimately decisive.

Pedal support for the recumbent bike test winner Easy Sport

The Easy Sport also has an optional individual pedal support which offers very good support and has a wide range of possible uses. It was noticeable that the engine starts up quickly when pedalling and the Van Raam system offers good support. The pedal assistance can be operated via the display on the handlebar of the Easy Sport. This display has an on/off button, three assistance modes and a starting aid. With the starting aid, the engine gives you extra support for 10 seconds, so that you can easily start cycling from a standstill. A unique feature of the Van Raam pedal assist is that it is possible to ride backwards when the assist is on. Read more about reversing in the article and watch the video: 'Riding backwards with pedal support on a special bike'. These and more advantages again led to Van Raams pedal support winning the ExtraEnergy test in 2019.

User experience Easy Sport recumbent bicycle - Erik from Utrecht
My name is Erik, I am 58 years old and I am from Utrecht. My hobbies are cooking, playing golf, sailing and cycling. Because of balance problems, cycling on a normal bike is no longer possible. The Easy Sport recumbent tricycle is my first adapted bicycle, which I have been using since July 2019. Before that I rode one of Moof S3 and a racing bike.

User experience recumbent trike Easy Sport - Jelle van Gorkom
Jelle van Gorkum, a Dutch BMX rider and winner of a silver medal at the Olympic Games in 2016, was seriously injured on the starting hill of the BMX track during his training in the beginning of 2018. This is due to a safety chain that has not been removed. Due to the accident, Jelle was in a coma for several weeks and he suffered from broken ribs, a fracture in the face, a skull fracture and internal injuries. At the moment of writing, Jelle lives in a rehabilitation centre in Arnhem, and follows an intensive rehabilitation process, in which our Easy Sport recumbent bike also plays a role.

My Easy Sport tricycle and I are like Cinderella and her glass slipper, it is a perfect match! It took a while before we got to know each other, but it was worth it. Because I have a balance problem from birth, I was never able to cycle on a normal bike with two wheels. Driving and running is fine but cycling on a bike with two wheels did not work.

User experience recumbent trike Easy Sport - Gitty Verbaal
I have been happy with my Easy Sport from Van Raam for 6 years now. Before that, I always cycled on a conventional two-wheel bike with coaster brake. Unfortunately, that changed eight years ago. I got more and more pain in my joints and cycling was more and more difficult. The moment of realisation came when I fell with my bike. This happened right in front of a car. The driver wasn’t happy with this and it became clear to me that cycling was no longer possible in this way.
