Since February 9, 2018, an adult day center in Beek en Donk (the Netherlands) has a Fun2Go side-by-side tandem with a double rider trailer. With the help of a local supermarket, donations and a few campaigns, the clients and caregivers of ‘Zorgboerderij de Liesvelden’ saved enough money. From now on they will cycle with their double rider cycle and thanks to the trailer, it is possible to cycle with four people at once. With the electrical pedal support, the clients and caregivers can cycle without too much effort.
Nicolle Kanters and her husband have been the owner of their adult day center for more than ten years, they run the day center in combination with their dairy farm. Nicolle had already tried the side-by-side tandem in a nearby village and she thought it would be a great opportunity for her clients.
They then started saving and participated in various campaigns, such as the Color Fun, where people with a disability had to follow a route to raise money for charity. The manager of the local supermarket also wanted to help the ‘care farm’. For the past two years he has helped to raise the money.
The 9th of February it was finally time to pick up the Fun2Go with the Funtrain at a dealer nearby. When Nicolle arrived at the ‘care farm’, all the clients and caregivers were there to welcome her and to admire the new side-by-side tandem with trailer. They cannot wait to use the bike and go out for a picnic.
In a Dutch newspaper was an article about ‘Zorgboerderij de Liesvelden’ with their Fun2Go double rider cycle and the Funtrain double rider trailer.

The self names 'bicycle care train' arrives at the 'care farm'
The owner of ‘Zorgboerderij de Liesvelden’ receives the ‘bicycle care train’ from a Van Raam dealer. The clients are waiting at the ‘care farm’ and they are full of excitement, they can not wait to use the bike. In the video below you can see how the bike is used for the first time.
The Fun2Go is a three-wheel tandem where you sit next to each other. One person is the driver and the other person can ride along as a co-driver. The double rider trailer, the Funtrain, can be attached behind the Fun2Go and can also accommodate two persons. This way, an attendant can safely ride with three co-drivers.
The Fun2Go is available with multiple options. ‘Zorgboerderij de Liesvelden’ has armrests and foot fixations attached to their double rider cycle. The bike also has electrical pedal support and they have chosen to have their bike powder coated in the nice color ‘Fire Red’.
Many health care organisations use the Fun2Go duo bike as a way of transport for the residents and for the caretakers. The reason? Being able to go out again with the residents! In the autumn of 2019, several Fun2Go duo bikes were donated to health care organisations. Read more in this article.
Several healthcare institutions in the Netherlands and Belgium have a Fun2Go side-by-side tandem into use since March 2018. Thanks to local campaigns and sponsoring, the financing for these three-wheel tandems has been made possible. Every healthcare institution, including InteraktContour, an institution for people who experience problems because of a brain injury, has its own story. In this article you can read the story of these healthcare institutions.
Van Raam's Fun2Go duo bike is a tricycle tandem that is often used in the elderly care. Care institutions opt for a duo bike, so that volunteers or employees can cycle together with the elderly and they can (again) get outdoors. Read more about the Fun2Go duo bike in the elderly care.
