Unique riding characteristics of the Easy Go
The Easy Go is a scooter bike with three wheels and is suitable for an adult. This special bike is specially designed for people with changing power and/or energy level. Important driving characteristics are highlighted below:
1. Van Raam’s 3-in-1 bike
The Easy Go is a scooter bike that, as indicated in the intro of this article, can be used in three ways:
1. As a tricycle
2. As a electric tricycle
3. As a mobility scooter
It is easy to switch between the three different ways of cycling. These ways of cycling are further explained below:
1. The Easy Go as a tricycle
The Easy Go as a tricycle, means that you cycle completely on your own power without the help of support from a motor. The Easy Go is equipped with the unique Van Raam pedal support as a standard, but it’s possible to cycle without the pedal support.
2. The Easy Go as an electric tricycle
As soon as you switch on the pedal support, you can use it. With the help of this pedal assistance, you can keep cycling without much effort. Read more about the special features of the pedal support further on in this article.
3. The Easy Go as a mobility scooter
It is also possible to use the bike as a mobility scooter. Do you have no power (anymore) to cycle independently or with the pedal support? Then it is possible to switch to the mobility scooter mode. This allows you to fully use the bike as a mobility scooter without having to pedal. The electric bike will then move forward by the motor. The mobility scooter is easy to steer with the throttle that can be operated with your dump. With this, you control the speed and the degree of support.
The Easy Go is used as an (electric) tricycle in this picture.
The picture shows that the driver does not cycle and uses the bike as a mobility scooter.
2. Highly manoeuvrable and safe
The Easy Go is a manoeuvrable tricycle that is more compact than a regular mobility scooter. The scooter bike has a short turning radius and because the bike has three wheels, tipping over is not possible with normal use of the bike. The anti-tip wheels with which the bike is equipped, give you also an extra feeling of safety and security while cycling.Furthermore, the parking brake gives you extra safety so that the bike cannot roll away while getting on and off.
3. Comfortable cycling position
Getting on the Easy Go is easy due to the low and accessible entry level. The seat has a cushion and a backrest so that you can take a good cycling position. It also ensures that you sit easily and comfortably while cycling. The adjustable double suspension also gives you a stable and comfortable ride.
4. Riding both forwards and backwards
As indicated, as soon as you use the Easy Go as a mobility scooter, you can move forwards without having to pedal yourself. But did you know that it is also possible to drive backwards instead of forwards? With the throttle you can also drive backwards with the mobility scooter so you can easily turn around for example.
The Easy Go is specially designed for people with a changing power and/or energy level.
Put together your own bike
With the bike configurator on the website, it is possible to put together your own Van Raam bike. You can view an add all available options for the chosen bike. As soon as you have put together the bike, you will receive an overview with all the chosen options and the prices by e-mail. If you want to order the bike as you put together, you can print the configuration and take it with you to your Van Raam dealer. He can order the bike at Van Raam as configured. However, we always recommend to make a test ride first so you can be sure that the bike suits you perfectly. A test ride can be done at the Van Raam showroom in Varsseveld (the Netherlands) or ask your dealer about the possibilities. Click on the button and go directly to the bike configurator.
The Van Raam pedal support
Almost all bicycles in the Van Raam range can be equipped with pedal support. This pedal assistance has been specially developed by Van Raam for its special needs bicycles. The pedal support has the following features:
- Very easy to control
- Powerful electric motors
- Almost silent motor
- 3 individually adjustable support modes
- Starting aid
- Modern and efficiënt electronics
The possibility to cycle backwards when the pedal support is on, is what makes the pedal assistance extra special. In the article ‘Riding backwards with pedal support on a custom bike’ you can read more about this. If you have a Van Raam E-Bike, you have automatically access to the Van Raam E-Bike App. With this app, you can easily switch between support modes.
It should also be added that the system is equipped with centrally switched lighting. The lighting can be switched on and off by pressing the on/off button. You can read more in the article 'Lighting on the Van Raam electric system'.
