The OPair is a wheelchair bike with which you can transport a wheelchair user. A seat for the wheelchair user/passenger is affixed to the front of the bike. From the back, the cyclist has an overview on the road and view on the passenger. On the split frame version, the front part is easy to remove from the cycling component, which enables use as a wheelchair on location. The slightly angled front wheels provide increased driving comfort and stability. The OPair wheelchair bike has a modern design.
The depth adjustable seat of the OPair can be set to the passenger's measurements as well as the angle adjustable back rest and expandable side rests. There are also options for side rests, making the bike suitable for both children and small adults. The comfortable seat for the passenger has an accessible entry with foldable footrests. The bike can be altered completely with a variety of options. A personal seat can be affixed to the bike. For all the options available for this bike, see our configurator or the pricelist of the OPair. The optional electric motor provides support while cycling. Read everything about electric pedal support (Pedelec) for this bike.
If you choose an optional electric pedal assist, it will be delivered as a smart e-bike. You can then use the vanRaam app to set a different support mode on your bike. Read more about the vanRaam smart e-bike on our vanRaam app page.

vanRaam has a history of over 110 years. Since 1986, the focus at vanRaam has been on the production of special needs bicycles. The bicycles in vanRaam’s range are continuously developed and improved. This also applies to the OPair tandem.
vanRaam has its own electric pedal assist system, known as the Silent System. This system has been fully developed by vanRaam, specifically for the special needs bikes.
A detachable/divisible frame can be an useful addition at a vanRaam special needs bike. The advantage is that the bike becomes more compact and making it easier to transport.
With the 'adjustable seat width' option, the seat width becomes between 23.5 and 33.5 cm thanks to the two side supports, which also serve as armrests at the same time.
For extra safety on the bike, a mirror can be placed on the handlebar. With a mirror, you can look behind you without turning your head or torso.

A wheelchair bike is a combination of a wheelchair and a bicycle, intended for two persons in which the wheelchair user sits at the front of the bicycle and the persons sitting behind it cycles and steers. With a wheelchair bike, you can cycle together with someone who is wheelchair dependent or has difficulty walking and cannot cycle on his or her own. In this article, you will learn more about the OPair bicycle with a wheelchair in front.
vanRaam not only manufactures bicycles for single individuals, but our product range also includes various bikes for multiple users, such as wheelchair bikes and tandems. Read more in this article about the side-by-side tandem Fun2Go.
Research shows that many people do a Google search for an electric bicycle for disabled people. Van Raam produces special needs bicycles for people with a disability or a limitation. We see ourselves more as manufacturers of bicycles for people who have problems with a "normal" bike. We have several bicycles for disabled people and people with a problem when cycling. For this purpose we produce special two-wheelers, tricycles, children's tricycles, adult tricycles, tandems, duo bikes, wheelchair bikes and wheelchair transport bikes.
