Cycle with double seat bike Fun2Go
Van Raam makes bicycles for over 110 years and for over 35 years with a focus on special needs bikes. These are all kinds of bicycles for people who can no longer cycle on a regular bicycle. The first version of the double seat bike Fun2Go was created in the nineties. In the years that followed, this bicycle was further developed and in 2006, the first bicycle double seat with the name Fun2Go was introduced to the market.
The Fun2Go is a three-wheel tandem where the cyclists sit next to each other. The bike is steered by one person and both cyclists can pedal. Getting on and off the Fun2Go is very easy, because there is no step through. The seats can both be fully adjusted to the desired sitting distance. The Fun2Go has these advantages:
Very manoeuvrable: can turn around its own axis
Good communication because of the seats next to each other
Both have an equally good view of the road
Comfortable adjustable seats with back rest
Easy to use

The double seat bike Fun2Go is also available with pedal support. Van Raam has its own pedal support system with the advantages that you can cycle backwards, that it is easy to operate and that the support can be programmed individually.
With this option, the Fun2Go is delivered as a smart e-bike. With a smart e-bike, your bicycle is connected to the Internet. You can then use the Van Raam e-bike app to set a different support mode on your Van Raam bike.
It is also possible to attach a trailer behind the Fun2Go. In this way, an escort can safely cycle with three passengers. The main driver (who brakes and steers) sits on the Fun2Go and the persons seated cycle double seat trailer can neither steer, only pedal.
To be able to cycle with a Fun2Go with FunTrain, a tow bar is mounted on the Fun2Go double seat bicycle. The FunTrain itself has a retractable support wheel, so that you can easily move the dismounted FunTrain. The Fun2Go with FunTrain has the following advantages:
1 driver + 3 passengers
4 persons can pedal
Easy to adjust and to use by different people

With the online configurator you can create a complete Fun2Go with the desired options in a few easy steps. All selected options are immediately visible in the overview at the bottom of the page. You also see immediately what the chosen configuration would cost.
The double seat bike Fun2Go and FunTrain are bikes that are aimed at cycling together. Because you sit next to each other, you can communicate well with each other. Another advantage of the Fun2Go is that both cyclists do not have to have the same physical condition, with the optional switchable freewheel you can determine whether the passenger (possibly obligatory) have to pedal along.Â
These bicycles can therefore often be found at foundations, care institutions or at centres for the elderly, as can be read in the article 'Duo bike Fun2Go contributes to the care of the elderly'. With the optional protection screen, cycling together in times of corona is also possible.
At the Stichting Fietsmaatjes a guest and a volunteer make bicycle trips on the double seat cycle with pedal support, whereby the volunteer steers and pedals and the guest can help pedalling. Read more about this in the article 'Fietsmaatjes on side-by-side tandem'.
