Van Raam Easy Rider tricycle medium

Avoid falling off the bike and choose a tricycle

A fall causes a lot of suffering and often leads to a deterioration in the quality of life of an elderly person. In addition to physical discomfort, fear of falling often seems to be an important reason for not getting on a bicycle. This is very unfortunate if the bicycle turns out to be the only means of transport for this person. Out of fear, certain situations, excursions and social activities are avoided, leading to social isolation. As we at vanRaam believe that the longer you are mobile, the happier you are, in this article we would like to inform you about the possibilities of our modified bikes. Avoid falls with your bike and choose a tricycle.

Wolda wants to climb Mont Ventoux with her Easy Rider tricycle on 6 September 2019 and thereby raise money for KWF (Dutch Cancer Society) and the Hersenstichting (Dutch foundation dedicated to combat brain disorders).

What is the difference between a tricycle and a bike with side wheels?

When you aren’t able or don't dare to cycle on a standard bike with two wheels due to balance problems or the fear of falling, there are several options to ensure that you keep your mobility and get enough physical activity. For example, there is the possibility to place side wheels for adults on your two-wheel bike or you can check the possibilities of adaptive bikes (of course we would like to help you). In this article we explain briefly what the differences are between a tricycle and adult side wheels.
