Small size bike 

What stands out at the Easy Rider Junior is the small frame. Because the frame is smaller than the normal Easy Rider this tricycle is perfect for children or less tall people, as Mrs. Zock. “With my Easy Rider Junior with 16-inch wheels I can cycle on bumpy roads” she says.  

Pedal support 

Van Raam has a unique designed electric power assist system, where you have to pedal along and by the new tricycle models you can even cycle in reverse with the electric assist switched on. The electrical support on her tricycle helps Mrs. Zock to cycle longer distances and with the pedal support is also easy to come up on steep slopes. The longest tours that Mrs. Zock made were from Echternach to Konz (32 km) and from Kell am See to Trier (43 km). She prefers cycling on the cycle way, but at an ordinary road she can bike to.

Splitt frame 

As an additional option Mrs. Zock had chosen for a detachable frame. In not time she can fold the Easy Rider Junior so that the tricycle can be easily transported by car. On the photo on the right side you can see the Easy Rider Junior with the split frame.
