Alternatives from Van Raam for a 4 wheel bike
Are you looking for a 4 wheel bike? Then also consider a 3 wheel bicycle from Van Raam. Read in this article more about 3 wheel bikes and why they can be a good alternative for a 4 wheel bike
Adapted bicycles from Van Raam
Van Raam has several types of custom bikes in its range. Bikes for 1 person, but also bikes on which you can cycle together with 2 people or even with 4 people. In this article we discuss the Van Raam 3 wheel bikes.
3 wheel bike as alternative to 4 wheel bike
A 3 wheel bicycle can be a good alternative to a 4 wheel bicycle. A 3 wheel bicycle has several advantages over a 4 wheel bicycle, namely:
Smal turning radius: A 3 wheel bike with one front wheel has a shorter turning radius than a 4 wheel bike with two front wheels. This makes the bike much more maneuverable.
Easy to ride: A 3 wheel bike is easier to ride than a 4 wheel bike. Especially when you are used to a two wheel bike. The transition from a two-wheel bike to a four-wheel bike is larger, because a four-wheel bike has two wheels at the front. The transition to a tricycle with one wheel in front is therefore smaller.
Many options: There are many different types of tricycles on the market. At Van Raam we have eight different types of tricycles for adults. This means there is always a bike that suits you. See our tricycle bikes below.
