Alternative mobility is a term that is frequently mentioned in the context of sustainability. More and more people are seeking an alternative to using a car. Additionally, alternative mobility is also discussed in the context of improving individuals' physical mobility. At Van Raam, these two aspects converge. Read more about this in this article.
Alternative mobility refers to forms of transportation and movement that deviate from traditional, often car-related, modes of mobility. It encompasses a wide range of options aimed at reducing dependence on cars and promoting more sustainable, efficient, and environmentally friendly modes of transportation. Some examples of alternative mobility include:
Cycling
Public transportation
Carpooling
Electric vehicles (cars, bicycles, scooters, etc.)
Cycling is one of the most important forms of alternative mobility. It provides a healthy, environmentally friendly, and often quick way to get from A to B, especially in urban areas with good cycling infrastructure. Reducing cars in traffic has a positive impact on the environment.
Alternative mobility is not only focused on sustainability and reducing cars on the road, but also on promoting physical mobility and social inclusion. Adapted bicycles play a crucial role in this by giving people with mobility impairments the freedom to move. It enables them to feel the wind in their hair again and participate in social activities.
Van Raam manufactures customized bicycles for people who are no longer able to ride a standard two-wheeler. We produce all bicycles on demand, which means we do not have large inventories. Additionally, we strive to operate as circularly and sustainably as possible in our modern bicycle factory. You can read about how we achieve this in the article 'Circular and sustainability policy of Van Raam'.
