We start with the test ride. Once you find the right bike we go through the configurations and measurements. Then we check the transportation costs and accessories you need. Then we have the final quotation. To make the order customers have to sign the quotation and make a deposit. We offer splitting payments or financing options via Agos.

4. What is your best experience of a customer with a Van Raam bicycle

There are too many but I have two in my mind and both were with a Fun2Go:

  • An ex-professional bike rider is in a wheelchair because of an accident during training. He wasn't able to ride a bike for the last 20 years. He went to our store by pure chance last spring. We start talking about bikes and possibilities for him (like wheelchair bikes) but he was immediately blown away by the Fun2Go. For us this was a no-go bike because of his disability (he can't move his legs!). He said he have involuntary spasms and sometimes he can control them. Making a long story short, we linked his foot to the pedals with the easy switch, tightening his knees with an elastic band and then we started pedal. In a few seconds he was able to push the legs making his own pedal movement for the first time after the accident. We spent the next two hours around the town, laughing, crying and having fun.

  • The second is with a blind person, a friend of mine. He was my "passenger" for a while during a bike trip. A certain point he told me "do you think I can ride this bike?" from this point on the craziness took place: we switched positions and I helped him ride the bike by giving distance signals and gradient of rotation (we start using the clock system). This was crazy but also marvelous, something totally new for us, an experience that opened the door to a revolution on cycling also for blind persons.

He was able to push the legs making his own pedal movement for the first time after the accident. We spent the next two hours around the town, laughing, crying and having fun.
