“When my husband retired, we started cycling. Together we have made countless kilometers. He passed away in November 2012. The following years I had a brain tumor and a cerebral infarction. Since then I have been struggling and my sense of balance is faltering. I didn't dare to cycle anymore. That was a huge loss.
At the bicycle repair shop I heard about the scooter bike, which was just on the market. That you don't have to drive a mobility scooter, but you do have the option, appealed to me. The bike gave me back what I missed so much. I have my freedom back again. I go to the swimming pool by myself again, I visit my granddaughter and go to the bench where I always sat with my husband. That is a ride of around 60 kilometers."

"Dear people,
Just a message from my side. Since I own my Easy Go, I feel wonderful and independent again! I even went cycling in the rain. I regularly make long bike rides. On King's Day I even made a journey of 45 kilometers from Hoorn to Medemblik, I did an hour over the first 23 kilometers. I prefer to cycle in the 8th gear and the pedal support in position 3. In the first two months I have cycled more than 400 kilometers. Along the way I get a lot of interest from people who want to know how my bike works. Then I would like to explain it to them.
Below I briefly describe what my first week with my mobility scooter bike looked like:
