When you don’t have the possibility to cycle on a standard two-wheel bike (anymore), you will look at the possibilities that do exist when you want to cycle: an adaptive tricycle. The Easy Rider is one of the adaptive tricycles in the Van Raam assortment. The tricycle has many satisfied users and is a popular bike. In this article, you can discover more about the Easy Rider adaptive trike from Van Raam.
An adaptive bike is a bike that is specially made for your needs and is adjusted to your wishes. With the help of an adaptive bike, you can go on a bike ride on your own or together with someone else. This might be because you can cycle on your own again, or because someone else can cycle together with you. Van Raam produces different types of adaptive bikes. One of the bikes that Van Raam produces is the Easy Rider adaptive tricycle.
Van Raam’s Easy Rider is an adapted trike for adults. The bike has one wheel at the front and two rear wheels. This ensures that the bike is extra stable and makes it nearly impossible to fall over with the tricycle.
Because of the unique frame of the bike, the tricycle has a low entry and a low seating position. The Easy Rider provides a stable and safe feeling due to the combination of the low seating position, a comfortable seat with an individually adjustable backrest and the handlebar in front of you. This low seating position allows you to make a different pedaling movement while cycling than on a standard two-wheel bike, where you sit above the bottom bracket. You sit behind the bottom bracket on the Easy Rider and pedal forwards. This forward pedaling movement provides a lot of comfort while cycling.
Most Easy Rider users think it’s an easy tricycle to ride. This is partly due to the perfect riding comfort. The sitting position of the bike reduces the strain on your shoulders, back and neck. Read more in the article ‘Unique riding characteristics of the Easy Rider tricycle’.

Because of the unique frame, there's a low entry and a stable, low seating position. Together with the seating with backrest and the handlebar in front of you, this provides a secure and safe feeling.

Among other things, the price, the entire quality of the bike, the possibilities to adapt the bike to personal circumstances and the user-friendliness have been tested. The Easy Rider has won the first place in the tricycle category with the motor on the rear axle and also the second place with the motor in the front wheel.

Next to the Easy Rider tricycle, there are three more types of this bike: the Easy Rider Compact for smaller adults and children, the Easy Rider Compact Small for children and the sportive Easy Sport. Meet these three bikes below or take a look at all tricycles in the Van Raam assortment.
The Easy Rider Compact Small tricycle is specially designed for children and short adults, who have difficulties with stability. This sturdy and smooth tricycle with a low step through has a seating with backrest and therefore, gives more support than a cycle with a regular saddle.
The Easy Sport is a sportive recumbent tricycle with optimal support and comfort. The seat height and seat angle are adjustable so you always sit comfortably. The bike is suitable for both sportive and recreational cycling. The Easy Sports’ handlebar is located below. The location of the handlebar provides less strain on the back, shoulders, neck and wrists.
With more than 110 years of experience, focusing on the production of special needs bicycles for over 35 years, and with more than 230 employees, each bike is uniquely produced on request. Innovation, quality and durability are very important to Van Raam.
Van Raam wants to offer sustainable and contemporary mobility to as many people as possible. We do this for people with a disability, balance problems or for people who are insecure while cycling. Because Van Raam believes that if people can be independent for longer, they will be happier. In this way, Van Raam wants to contribute to the integration of people with a disability in society. Let’s all cycle!
