Adaptive tricycle for a large or older child
Do you have an older child or a large child who needs a (adaptive) tricycle? Van Raam is a manufacturer of special needs bicycles for people with a disability or people who are looking for more safety and stability while cycling. Van Raam has several tricycles in its range that are suitable for a large or an older child. View and read more about these tricycles here.
The right adaptive tricycle for a large or older child
Not everyone can cycle on a standard two-wheel bike. Van Raam makes adaptive bicycles for adults and children with a disability and/or who don't want or can't cycle with a standard bike with two wheels. To help children with a disability to cycle (again) on their own, Van Raam has several tricycles in its range that are specially designed for children.
In order to find the right trikefor a large or older child, it is important to know the inner leg length of your child. The inner leg length is the most important specification to determine the frame height and seat height of the bike. You measure the inner leg length by measuring the length of the crotch to the ground and the feet must stand flat on the floor at a distance of about 15 cm. Read more about the inner leg length in the article 'Inner leg length for adapted Van Raam bikes'. A number of Van Raam tricycles are available with a larger or smaller frame height, with other tricycles the height of the frame is easily adjustable.

Also possible options and accessories are discussed and tested here.
Are you not able to come to the showroom? Van Raam has many dealers at national and international level. Please contact a dealer in your area and ask about the possibilities. Eventually a Van Raam bicycle can be ordered from a dealer and the dealer will take care of the warranty and maintenance.
