Development of the scooter Bike
The idea for the scooter bike has arisen because of the fact that Van Raam, as a bicycle manufacturer, found it remarkably that many scooter users go on the scooter to the physiotherapist and there use an exercise bike. In interviews with physiotherapists and occupational therapists, the idea was very well received. At this moment people with varying diseases often choose for a scooter because they can not bike or pedaling there selves on the bad moments. On the good moments any form of movement and effort will be very good for the condition of these people. The product has a more sporty bike appearance because the target audience for this product will be more associated with a bike than a scooter.
