A couple of the Van Raam tandems are available as detachable tandems. At Van Raam we make various tandems where you can sit behind each other on your bicycle and can also divide the bicycle. 

  • Twinny: tandem with two wheels, suitable for adults.

  • Twinny Plus: Tandem with three wheels, suitable for adults.

Note, this option is only possible if it is a tandem with front steering.

The Twinny shortens from 2.59 m to 1.90 m (rear part) and 79.0 cm (front part) after splitting.
The Twinny Plus shortens from 2.61 m to 1.89 m (rear section) and 84.0 cm in the front section after splitting.
