Van Raam tricycle for invalid

Sometimes cycling on a regular bike with two wheels is no longer possible and a tricycle is the solution. Van Raam is a manufacturer of special needs bikes and has several tricycles in its range that are suitable for an invalided person (someone with a disability). Read more about these tricycles here, view photos and read experiences of people with a Van Raam trike.

Why a tricycle?

A tricycle can be the perfect solution for invalid people who cannot (or can no longer) cycle on a regular two-wheeler or for people who are afraid of falling while cycling. Read more about this in the article: 'Avoid falling off the bike and choose a tricycle'. The tricycle can be a solution for an invalid, because the tricycle always remains upright. This is due to the extra, third wheel on the bicycle. There is no need to hold the bicycle and keep it in balance or get off the bike during a stop. You can stay on the tricycle and keep both feet on the pedals. The tricycle is therefore very suitable for people who have difficulty keeping their balance.

If you have become an invalid person, switching from a two-wheeler to a tricycle can be difficult, you suddenly have a completely different way of transportation with which you have to learn to cope. It can also feel very insecure, because with a tricycle it is more visible that you have a disability. To remove some uncertainty, read more about the use of the tricycle in the article: 'Cycling on a tricycle for adults'. If you have a good feel for cycling on a tricycle, you will be a lot more confident on your bike.

Tricycles come in different shapes and sizes and each tricycle has its own unique characteristics. It is therefore important to take a good look at which tricycle suits you best. This can be done by making a test ride on different tricycles.

Trying out a tricycle yourself

As a invalid person it is possible at Van Raam in Varsseveld to try out a tricycle yourself. By appointment you will receive advice from a technical advisor and you can make a test ride on the test track. An offer will be made and you can use this offer to order the tricycle at a Van Raam dealer near you (sometimes it's possible to make a test ride at the dealer). The showroom at Van Raam is very accessible for people with a disability and has a toilet and a parking space for people with a disability.

Customer experience tricycle Midi - Rosita Rampertaap
My name is Rosita Rampertaap, I’m 34 years old and I live in Brummen. For years I have a tricycle made by Van Raam. I have the Midi model, since I'm not that big. I have this because of my handicap. As a result of a Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy, my balance is disturbed, which means that I cannot cycle on a regular bicycle.

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.

Customer experience scooter bike Easy Go - Astrid van der Plank
I am Astrid van der Plank (44) and I own the Easy Go scooter bike since July 2018. I use a scooter bike because I have Spinocerebellar Ataxia type 28 (SCA28). SCA28 is a rare chronic neurological disease that, among other things, causes balance and coordination problems. When I could no longer cycle on a bike with two wheels, because I fell continuously, I started looking at alternatives. I tried several Van Raam bikes, but nowadays I am happy to use my scooter bike Easy Go.
