If you notice that it is no longer possible or more difficult to cycle on a conventional two-wheel bike, you will look for a suitable alternative. After all, most people just love cycling! But how do you order a vanRaam special needs bike? In this article we explain this process by means of a video.
Step-by-step instructions for ordering a vanRaam special needs bike
It only takes a few steps to order a vanRaam special needs bike. Below we explain the steps you can take one by one.
Step 1: The search starts
You notice that cycling on a conventional two-wheel bike is (almost) no longer possible, but you like cycling very much. After all, cycling is healthy, a fun way of moving around and useful for transport or doing groceries. Therefore, you want of course a good alternative so that you can still use the bike. This is where our search starts. You are going to orientate yourself and by visiting (information days) from our dealers, by using the internet or through other parties or persons, for example through your therapist, you will come in contact with vanRaam.
You can browse all the special needs bikes in our product range and find all kinds of information, user experiences and news about these bikes on our website. In addition, it is even possible to configure your own bike in the online configurator. On our website you will also find our contact details so you can easily contact us in case you have any questions or if you want to make an appointment.
Step 2: Financing of the special needs bike
As soon as you have decided that you want to make use of a special needs bike, you can decide on how to finance the purchase: do you want to do this yourself, through a fundraising campaign or through a third party, for example your municipality (please note that this is different in each country).
Step 3: Getting to know vanRaam and the bike
Once you’ve oriented yourself, it’s time to get to know vanRaam and the bikes. It’s important to know which bike is suitable for you so that once you’ve got the special needs bike, you’ll have the right one with the correct options tailored to your needs.
To get to know the bicycle, it is possible to make an appointment with one of the technical advisors at vanRaam. The appointment can be made via the website or by phone. Do you live too far away or are you unable to come to our showroom in Varsseveld, the Netherlands? Check our dealer page on the website to see which dealer is near you. You can contact the dealer and ask about the possibilities.
You will be welcomed by our reception as soon as you arrive at vanRaam on the day of the appointment. You can take a seat in our showroom and you will receive a cup of coffee or tea. One of our technical advisors will come and help you and, as soon as he is aware of your wishes and requirements, he will show you the bicycle (or bicycles) that might be suitable in your situation. He will explain the advantages of the bike and show you how it works. Next, it is time to try out the bike. You will go outside to the vanRaam cycling test track with the advisor so you can have a go at cycling yourself.
As soon as the test ride is successful and you know that this is the right bike for you, the advisor will take you back to the showroom and give you a quote with the bike, the options and the prices.
Step 4: To the vanRaam dealer
With the quote you receive from our advisor, you can go to the vanRaam dealer near you. It is not possible to order the bike directly from vanRaam. The dealer will place the order at vanRaam based on the quote and your bike will then be produced in the factory in Varsseveld. Read all about the production of a vanRaam bicycle on the page ‘How we make bikes'.
Step 5: Yes, I’m going to cycle again!
You have just received a message from your dealer that your own unique vanRaam special needs bike is waiting for you! You can pick up your bike and enjoy cycling again. Go to an appointment, do some shopping or make a nice bike tour.
