Van Raam is a manufacturer of custom-made bicycles and individual adjustments on your bike are very important you in order to bring the experience of cycling to another level. In the video below we show you how you can easily adjust the seat and backrest of the Easy Rider 3 and Easy Rider 2 tricycle for adults yourself.
There's a moment many cyclists reach, when the bike they've always ridden starts to feel like it's working against them. The balance required at junctions, the effort on longer routes, and the nagging sense that a ride should feel easier than this. For a growing number of active adults, an electric tricycle is the upgrade they never knew they needed.
Van Raam regularly sees news articles in which our adapted bicycles and their drivers play a leading role. We recently came across an article from the Hoogeveensche Courant (Dutch newspaper) that we definitely want so share with our readers. The article we encountered was about Wolda Fidom from Hoogeveen. 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). Read more about this courageous achievement in this article!
There's a point many cyclists reach where the bike they've always ridden starts to feel less reliable. Balance becomes more of a conscious effort. Junctions feel less predictable. The rides get shorter, and then less frequent, until cycling quietly disappears from daily life altogether. It doesn't have to go that way. For many, a tricycle for seniors is a good solution.
At the end of August our colleague Marnix and Henry, an English end user of a Van Raam tricycle, made a nice trip to the Dutch National Park De Hoge Veluwe with the Easy Sport and the Easy Rider tricycles. In this article you can read how important the special needs bike is for Henry and see how the two cycling enthusiasts have experienced this day.
Late March Lilian van Zandbrink visited Van Raam together with her mother. Her mother’s freedom of movement has been becoming more and more limited, which is why she went on the look for a special needs bicycle. She tried 3 different bicycles in our showroom and the Easy Rider tricycle was the best fit for her. Lilian wrote a blog post about her experience at Van Raam.
In 2009, the then 70-year-old Gunda Krauss from Germany cycled on her three-wheeled bicycle Easy Rider from Munich to Rügen. This trip was more than 1200 kilometers and together with her dog Sauser, this trip took 49 days. For several years, Gunda has been working to write a book about this adventurous journey. With the help of crowdfunding, Gunda hopes to raise money so that is possible to release her book in the summer of 2018.
Scouters, an independent, online platform in the Netherlands that provides people with a physical disability with information/advice and innovative, assistive devices, tested the Easy Rider 2 tricycle. In this article you will read their review and see a video by Scouters’ test panel on Van Raam’s tricycles.
Mrs. Van Lieshout is 63 years old and experiences difficulty walking and difficulty with balance. Because cycling on a regular bicycle was becoming more and more difficult to her, she purchased one of Van Raam’s electric tricycles: the Easy Rider 2. We received the following message about her first experience with the Easy Rider tricycle. She wanted her positive experience to be shared with potential Easy Rider users.
Het Nationaal Keurmerk Hulpmiddelen (NKH) (Dutch National Hallmark for assistive devices) ran a story contest between users of assistive devices in the fall of 2016. The objective was to have them share their stories with people who could possibly benefit from the use of such a tool or device.
