Two person bike Van Raam Twinny tandem

The bicycle is a popular means of transport. Besides the normal two-wheel bike, you see more and more special or adapted bikes in the streets. For example, more and more use is being made of a two person bike, such as the Fun2Go duo bike, also called the side-by-side tandem, and the wheelchair transport bike VeloPlus. A duo bike (two person bicycle) is the ideal bike for elderly people who can no longer cycle independently, blind people, people with balance problems, people with disabilities and people who are wheelchair dependent. However, there are more bicycles for two people available. Discover in this article the eight 2 person bicycles in the Van Raam range.

Put together your own bike

All Van Raam bicycles can be equipped with many different options and accessories. As a result, the bike is completely adapted to your wishes and needs. On the product pages of the bike in question, you will find the price lists with all options and accessories. It is also possible to put together your own bicycle for two people with the online configurator. Here, you can also see exactly which options are available for the chosen bike. As soon as you have put together your bike yourself, you will receive a quote by e-mail that you can take with you to your Van Raam dealer. However, we always recommend making a test ride first before buying a special needs bike, so you will be sure that the bike fits your needs perfectly. A test ride can be made at Van Raam (the Netherlands) or ask your dealer about the possibilities.

Two person electric bike

It is possible to order almost all bicycles as an electric bike with the unique Van Raam pedal assistance. With a 2 person electric bike, cycling is even easier and you don’t need to use much power. The three pedal assistance modes are individually adjustable so that you always have the right support. Extra special about the electrical system is that you have the possibility to cycle backwards. The article ‘Riding backwards with pedal support on a custom bike’ explains everything about this function.

Delivery of a 2 person bike

Regularly, a two person (electric) bikes are delivered to happy customers. Below you can see thedelivery of a Fun2Go 1 duo bike and read some experiences from our customers.

Side-by-side tandem for the Zilvermeeuw

Activity center the Zilvermeeuw (provider of daytime activities, labor and labor training to people aged 18 and over with a physical handicap, chronic illness and/or non-born brain injury) has been awarded an electric side-by-side tandem by the Raisin Hope Foundation (RHF). The THF supports victims of traumatic brain injuries and their loved ones.

The side-by-side tandem at the Zilvermeeuw is the first special needs bike which was entirely powder coated in the RHF green color by Van Raam. With the duo bike, the RHF foundation wants to stimulate its target group to move because this has a demonstrably very positive effect on rehabilitation and staying vital. Cycling is a perfect activity for this purpose and because cycling on a conventional two-wheel bicycle is not possible for everyone with brain damage, the duo bike is the ideal means of transport.

User experience rickshaw bike Chat - Debbeshoek Azora
In September 2019, residential care centre and nursing home Debbeshoek Azora in Ulft experienced the Chat rickshaw bike for a week. The reason why this handy transport bike was delivered to the residential care centre was due to a photo shoot of the Chat that had taken place a few months earlier. During this photo shoot, two older ladies who had been friends for years became true models for a day and were allowed to go out with a professional photographer and a team of Van Raam. Cintha Peters, group supervisor DOS, day care and team welfare, wrote down the experiences of the residents on behalf of Debbeshoek.
