Van Raam Easy Rider tricycle trailer Recreaties

With your special needs bike you can make a bike ride in your own area. Sometimes you also want to cycle in a different environment or other country, which is too far to cycle. With a custom trailer or roof-top carrier for special needs bicycles, mounted on your car, you can take your bike with you. At Van Raam we do not have trailers or roof-top carriers in our assortment. We do know some suppliers where you can purchase these trailers. You can find these in our article.

Why a custom trailer for a special needs bike?

A 'normal' trailer or bicycle carrier is often not suitable for a special needs bicycle. This is because a special needs (electric) bicycle soon becomes too heavy. If you still want to take your bike with you on a trailer, it is important to purchase or rent a customtrailer. This trailer is specially made to transport a special needs bike, the bike is well secured and can be safely transported.

Weight of the trailer on the tow bar

You can attach a trailer for a (special needs bike) bike to the tow bar of your car. Every trailer should have a type-approval according to European legislation. This type-approval indicates with which nose weight the tow barcan be ballasted in resting position. This maximum downward pressure is called nose weight and must not be exceeded. When the maximum nose weight is exceeded you are in default. You can get a fine for this, but it can also have consequences for your insurance cover.
 
Most cars have a maximum nose weight of 50 kg, some larger cars have a nose weight of 75 kg and some smaller cars sometimes less than 50 kg. If you have two electric bikes on a bike carrier, you will soon reach a nose weight of 60 kg. A too high nose weight is not good for the suspension and the tow bar of the car. The driving comfort and steering convenience is reduced and / or the bicycle carrier / trailer can swing on the tow bar. (source: www.recreaties.nl).

With a custom trailer the weight you can divide the weight over the clutch and the sprung axle, the center of gravity is on the trailer and not on the tow bar. The bicycle(s) can then be safely transported.
