Van Raam sport tricycle Easy Sport
The Easy Sport is a sport tricycle. It is ideal for sporty people who want to enjoy the comfort at the same time. The sport tricycle Easy Sport offers you the possibility to cycle in a sporty and relaxed way. The ergonomic seat, where you can individually adjust the seat height and the seat angle, offers you an optimal support. Furthermore, this bike is also available as e bike with the unique Van Raam pedal support.
Due to the low seating position that the frame gives you, you lie a little bit in the bike, this offers you not only a safe but also a sporty and agile seating feeling. Also the special steering gives you a sporty feeling. The steering under the seat gives you a free and sporty riding experience. Learn more about special handlebars on a custom bike in our article 'A special handlebar for your special needs bike'. The extra comfort is guaranteed by the frame suspension.
Because of the different cycling position with the lower handlebars, your back, neck, shoulders and wrists are much less stressed. Learn more about the sport tricycle Easy Sport by Van Raam on the Easy Sport product page, here you can also view the bike in 360 degree/3D photos.
I am very happy with my bike and I can't imagine life without it. I'm very grateful!

E bike tricycle Easy Sport
As already mentioned, the sport tricycle Easy Sport is also available in an electric version, in other words as an e bike. The electric pedal support system Van Raams is called Silent System. Everything, from the engine to the batteries and the software, has been specially developed by Van Raam itself. The display on the handlebars allows you to operate the pedal support. Especially helpful is the starting aid, which gives you support from the motor for 10 seconds to make it easier to start from a standing position.
A very special and unique possibility is that you can also ride backwards when the pedal assistance is on. With the electrical system you have access to the Van Raam e-bike app. You can then use the Van Raam app to set a different support mode on your Van Raam bike.

My name is Sipke de Jonge and I live in Emmen. After more than 4 years ‘fighting’ for a tricycle I finally got it done. Now I own an Easy Sport recumbent bike.
My name is Erik, I am 58 years old and I am from Utrecht. My hobbies are cooking, playing golf, sailing and cycling. Because of balance problems, cycling on a normal bike is no longer possible. The Easy Sport recumbent tricycle is my first adapted bicycle, which I have been using since July 2019. Before that I rode one of Moof S3 and a racing bike.
Jelle van Gorkum, a Dutch BMX rider and winner of a silver medal at the Olympic Games in 2016, was seriously injured on the starting hill of the BMX track during his training in the beginning of 2018. This is due to a safety chain that has not been removed. Due to the accident, Jelle was in a coma for several weeks and he suffered from broken ribs, a fracture in the face, a skull fracture and internal injuries. At the moment of writing, Jelle lives in a rehabilitation centre in Arnhem, and follows an intensive rehabilitation process, in which our Easy Sport recumbent bike also plays a role.
My Easy Sport tricycle and I are like Cinderella and her glass slipper, it is a perfect match! It took a while before we got to know each other, but it was worth it. Because I have a balance problem from birth, I was never able to cycle on a normal bike with two wheels. Driving and running is fine but cycling on a bike with two wheels did not work.
I have been in possession of an Easy Sport for about a month now and I want to let you know that I am very satisfied. The bike is very well adjustable on my body and I feel absolutely safe with it.
I have been happy with my Easy Sport from Van Raam for 6 years now. Before that, I always cycled on a conventional two-wheel bike with coaster brake. Unfortunately, that changed eight years ago. I got more and more pain in my joints and cycling was more and more difficult. The moment of realisation came when I fell with my bike. This happened right in front of a car. The driver wasn’t happy with this and it became clear to me that cycling was no longer possible in this way.
