VeloPlus wheelchair transport bike

On the VeloPlus you can transport people that remain seated in their own wheelchair. The wheelchair with the passenger can easily be driven onto the tiltable platform in front of the bike without any great effort. The wheelchair is safely secured on the bike with a wheelchair locking mechanism and a seat belt. The low centre of gravity and the wide wheelbase in the front give the bike its stability. This makes the bike an ideal solution for making bike rides with wheelchair users.

The Chat is a bicycle in which one or two passengers can be transported in the ergonomic seat at the front of the bicycle. The driver sits behind them and has a good view of the passengers and the traffic. As the name suggests, people on the Chat can chat with each other during a bike ride.

User experience rickshaw bike Chat - Debbeshoek Azora
In September 2019, residential care centre and nursing home Debbeshoek Azora in Ulft experienced the Chat rickshaw bike for a week. The reason why this handy transport bike was delivered to the residential care centre was due to a photo shoot of the Chat that had taken place a few months earlier. During this photo shoot, two older ladies who had been friends for years became true models for a day and were allowed to go out with a professional photographer and a team of Van Raam. Cintha Peters, group supervisor DOS, day care and team welfare, wrote down the experiences of the residents on behalf of Debbeshoek.
