vanRaam Thuja wins EuroBike award 2025

Our latest innovation, the Thuja, has been awarded the prestigious EuroBike Award 2025. The Thuja is a stable, stylish e-bike designed especially for active seniors. The Thuja combines the agility of a city bike with the comfort and stability of a tricycle.

Proud of Rapid Success

CEO Jan-Willem Boezel: “We are extremely proud that, during our very first participation at EuroBike, we have achieved such great success with the Thuja. This award confirms that our focus on the needs of users is exactly the right approach.” Jorrit Thijssen, head of the development department in Varsseveld, is also enthusiastic: “It’s fantastic to see that our innovative ideas from Varsseveld are being rewarded with such an important prize.” The Thuja is entirely conceived, developed, and built in our own factory, with many components crafted on-site using both skilled craftsmanship and modern technology. Always with a focus on the active generation.

EuroBike Award: Recognition for Innovation and Design

The EuroBike Award is one of the most important prizes in the field of innovative and high-quality bicycle technology and design. An international panel of experts selected the most outstanding entries from hundreds of products and services. The jury consisted of cycling experts, designers, mobility specialists, and representatives from the industry—all with a keen eye for what works in practice.

Jury Statement

The jury statement about the Thuja was full of praise: "The 'Thuja' tricycle presented by Dutch manufacturer vanRaam impresses the jury with its inclusive concept on the one hand and its visual implementation on the other. The Thuja gets more people on bikes, especially those who don’t feel safe (anymore) on traditional two-wheelers but still want classic bike ergonomics. In addition to the usual upright riding position, its two front wheels offer a high degree of stability. A lockable compartment that holds the e-bike battery and an easy-to-see loading area for shopping and luggage are conveniently located between the front wheels."

Especially for the Active 55-Plus Generation

The Thuja has been developed for the active generation aged 55 and over: people who embrace life, want to stay mobile, and enjoy cycling. Whether you are already a cycling enthusiast or looking for a modern way of getting around, the Thuja offers stability, safety, and convenience. Thanks to the low step-through and the ability to remain comfortably seated at a stop, cycling is now more accessible than ever. For 125 years, we have stood for innovation and quality. Even the drive system has been designed by our own developers. For the trade, it is a major advantage that the entire product comes from a single source and that vanRaam is always a reliable partner.

Previous Recognition for the Thuja 

The EuroBike Award is not the first prize for the Thuja. Back in 2024, when the bike was still in the prototype phase, the model won the Dynamo Retail Innovation Award and was named ‘most innovative product of the year’. The Thuja stands out thanks to the unique combination of a newly developed steering system, an extra rigid frame construction, and a long wheelbase within a compact length. This results in exceptional stability and a safe, comfortable riding experience—ideal for the modern cyclist.
