Van Raam manufactures special needs therapeutic tandems for you, so that you can become mobile again and stay that way. Through this you can train your muscles and coordination skills and experience positive emotional effects.
Due to the low entry height or the complete absence of an entry and the various options, the tandems are often used with people who can no longer ride a bicycle independently. Van Raam offers different types of tandems, which you can read more about below:
Tandem for two adults with two and three wheels.
Side by side tandem where you sit next to each other
Tandem for children with two and three wheels
The Twinny is a two-wheeled therapeutic tandem for two adults. With this bike, you sit behind each other during the ride. You have more space between the two seats than on a traditional tandem. One person steers and brakes while both can pedal. The main rider can optionally adjust the pedalling capabilities of the passenger.
The big advantage of this tandem is the low step-in. The Twinny has a high seating position that gives both riders a good overview.

Based on the Twinny is the Twinny Plus, a tandem with three wheels for two adults. The great thing about this tricycle tandem with two wheels on the back is the stability and easy mounting and dismounting. The tandem's have a sturdy and stable frame that provides good riding characteristics.
