Experiences with the Kivo
"We're very happy with the bike. With a little help, Steven can get on the bike himself and sometimes when we cycle, Steven wants to get off the bike to play the playground. Along the way we get nice reactions of people who see the tandem. Apparently such a tandem is not often seen yet, although I see them regularly in Zwolle. The positive thing of purchasing the Kivo tandem is that Steven is moving again. We always set the bike in the position where the pedals turn. This way he doens't have to make much effort, only when he wants to and when he is able to. But with this position the blood circulation is stimulated. Steven doesn't move much in other ways, except for short walks and movement at the day centre. When we've dropped Steven off at the guesthouse, we switch to another pedal position so that the pedals are stationary."
Much in use
"We usually use the Kivo for recreation, in the evenings and weekends and occasionally for cycling to the dentist or to and from the guesthouse. Because of corona time we now also cycle 3 times a week to and from the daytime activities. Normally we cycle about 30 km a week and the last 2 years we've cycled almost 3500 km on the Kivo. So far we've never had any problems with the bike."
Van Raam bike app
"Via the website of Van Raam we discovered the bicycle app. The functions we use mostly are the day counter and the percentage of the battery. In itself we would like to have a nice, sturdy holder for the bike so we can use the phone/bike app while cycling."
