Cycling comfortably with the special Easy Rider seat
The Van Raam Easy Rider is an adult tricycle with a seat. This tricycle has instead of a bike saddle, a seat with a comfortable backrest. Read all about the special seat of the Easy Rider here.
Seat of the Van Raam Easy Rider tricycle
On the unique Van Raam Easy Rider tricycle you sit very comfortable. The seat of the Easy Rider gives you more support than a regularbike saddle. The spacious seating is sloping at the front, making it easier for your legs to move. In addition, the seat has raised edges on the side, so you sit better and more comfortable on the seat and it gives lateral support. The Easy Rider has a low entry, making it easy to take a seat. Getting off is also easy, because the seat is at an ideal height.
The seating has a recess, which provides relief for the tailbone. The tailbone is exposed, so there is local pressure relief.
The Easy Rider is suitable for a maximum user weight of 140 kilograms, the seat of the Easy Rider is basically suitable for anyone up to that weight.
Backrest of the Easy Rider
The special seat of the Easy Rider also has a backrest, so your back is always supported. The backrest of the Easy Rider has mesh in the seat, which provides a better division and thus fewer pressure points. In addition, this material provides ventilation and cooling of the back.
The backrest can be adjusted to the desired position. By changing the angle of the backrest, you can change the pressure distribution to your liking.
For extra comfort, it is also possible to order armrests for the Easy Rider. From a central point behind the backrest, the armrests come on both sides of the backrest. These can be folded in and out.
External charging port in the backrest
An Easy Rider tricycle with pedal support has a standard external charging port integrated in the backrest to charge your battery. Thanks to this external charging port, the battery can be charged via an easily accessible charging port without removing the battery from the bicycle.
Of course, in extremely cold or warm temperatures, it is still possible to remove the entire battery from the bike and take it inside to charge it.
Adjustment of the complete seat
The complete seat of the Easy Rider is easy to adjust with a quick release lever / quick release handle. Adjust the sitting position so that in that situation the leg is straight, but still relaxed. You determine the most comfortable position yourself in practice. The position of the backrest is individually adjustable with a simple Allen key.
The luggage platform on the Easy Rider automatically slides with the seat when you adjust the seat. The big advantage is that you can shorten the tricycle and store it more easily.
