Students and the perfect tricycle

What should a tricycle for children between 12 and 16 actually look like? This pivotal question was central in the tricycle project for HAVO/VWO Technasium students from the Ulenhof College in Doetinchem. Close to 300 students visited Van Raam recently where they were busy brainstorming on what a tricycle aimed for a younger audience should look like and which accessories and gadgets it must be equipped with. As a starting point, they were allowed to choose between three different Van Raam tricycles:

• Maxi: a conventional and balanced tricycle with 1 wheel in front and 2 at the rear, the seat is situated right above the crankshaft.       

• Easy Rider: a comfortable tricycle with a deluxe seat and uniquely designed frame. Forward pedalling is attained as a result of its low centre of gravity. 

• Easy Sport: a sporty recumbent tricycle with handlebars situated on either side of the seat.

During the visit to Van Raam, students were given a tour on the factory floor and were able to try and test various tricycle models as well as other Van Raam bicycles. With the help of self-composed mood boards, they conveyed their ideas for the perfect tricycle to Technical Director Jan-Willem Boezel , Research & Development manager Jolien Heeman and Design Engineer Oliver Davina 

Almost all students unanimously agreed on 1 thing; the need for separate tricycles for boys and girls. Particular attention was also paid to details such as distinctive bike handles, trim and colour. Colour usage too must be strictly distinguishable, one for boys and another for girls.

Luckily, Van Raam bicycles are available in nearly all RAL-colours so everyone can choose his or her favourite.  

Numerous other useful ideas were presented such as additional baskets/crates on the bike and gadgets like remote controlled bike locks. As a company, it’s always inspiring to hear what 300 students think about our products and their vision on what a tricycle should look like!
