Dutch Balance bicycle with low step-through and 2 wheels
The Balance is a bicycle with a low step-in and therefore a low centre of gravity. Because of the uniquely designed frame, you always have both feet on the ground without getting out of the saddle. The Holland bike is suitable for people with slight balance problems or difficulties while getting on and off a bike. Thanks to the low step-in, you do not have to lift your leg as high.

Maxi Comfort low entry Dutch bike with 3 wheels
The Maxi Comfort is a variation of the traditional senior tricycle Maxi. In addition to the three wheels and the low step-trough, the frame of the Maxi Comfort low step-trough Dutch bike is unique. Like the Balance, the bottom bracket is set forward and designed so that you can always touch the ground with both feet on the Maxi Comfort if you want to. The Maxi Comfort is thus suitable for people who no longer dare to ride a normal two-wheeled bicycle due to balance problems or fear of falling.
