Introduction to Van Raam
Through the internet I searched information about the possibilities of tricycles. During this search I ended on the Van Raam website. Here I found all the information I needed.
Ordering a special needs bike
When I had found the right information, I then contacted Hulpmiddelen Centrum Burgum. At the Hulpmiddelen Centrum (centre where you can get physical aids) I had the opportunity to try out several bikes. After the test drive, I concluded that the Easy Rider tricycle suited me best.
Then I also ordered my bicycle at Hulpmiddelen Centrum Burgum. The contact with HMC Burgum is going well. I ordered my bike in August 2017 and the bike was delivered in November 2017. The service around the bike went well.
Van Raam bicycle app
I have heard about the possibilities of the Van Raam bicycle app through Hulpmiddelen Centrum Burgum. Although I use the app while cycling, it is not convenient that your cycling data disappears if you close the app. For example, you can no longer see which distance you have cycled and your average speed. It would be nice if the data from the previous bike tour stay in the app.**
Points of interest for the Easy Rider tricycle
Although I like my Easy Rider, there are some points of interest. The bicycle lock is not in a convenient place. *** Because the bike is quite long, I can’t reach the lock if I placed my tricycle in a bicycle stand. In addition, it’s a shame that I can’t control the lights on my tricycle with the control panel on the steering panel.**** Especially when you have difficulty walking, it is difficult to turn on the front and rear light.
Being able to keep cycling
I have already had a lot of fun with my Easy Rider tricycle. I am therefore very happy that I am able to keep cycling, despite my illness MS.
