Image tricycle should not stop people from moving

Tricycle benefits

A bike with three wheels has many advantages:

• It can be a good alternative if you have trouble getting on and off your current two-wheeler.
• With a tricycle it is notnecessary to get off when you are (almost) standing still; you can safely cross over while sitting on the saddle.
• Do you come to a standstill? A tricycle doesn't topple over like a two-wheeler does.
• Perhaps even the biggest advantage: you have the possibility to keep moving which makes you mobile and independently for a longer period of time.

Various tricycles Van Raam

Van Raam has different types of tricycles. It is importantto try out several tricycles in advance, so you can determine which bike is the best option for you, just like Astrid did. Astrid: "After trying different options I came into contact with the Easy Go scooter bike of Van Raam. With this scooter bike you can cycle, but you can also use it as a mobility scooter. When I run out of energy I use it as a mobility scooter, but I have to say that I still cycle 75% of the time". See all unique riding characteristics of the Easy Go in the article 'Unique riding characteristics of the Easy Go scooter bike'. 

Besides the Easy Go, Van Raam has many other types of tricycles, both tricycles for adults and tricycles for children. Take a look at the assortment below:

Image does not have to be an obstacle

Nowadays a bikewith pedal assistance is quite normal, but if you look back a few years ago, an electric bike was mainly seen as a bike for older people. Nowadays an electric bike is indispensable among young people who have to cycle to school or adults who prefer to take the bike to get to work in order to get some daily exercise. So an e-bike is now seen as a 'normal bike' and with tricycles we also see a shift in this more and more. With today's triycles you can definitely be seen: they look good, they are solid bikes and above all they are safe. So the image of a tricycle does not have to be an obstacle at all.

Especially elderly people are ashamed of tricycles

Recently, an articleappeared on the website of the Fietsersbond where Astrid talks about her condition, the Easy Go mobility scooter and her ongoing search for aids. She also tells more about the image of a tricycle and that especially elderly people seem to be ashamed of a tricycle. Curious about the article?
