Van Raam bicycles as an alternative to the quattro bike
Bikes \ Tricycles
Christel
The term quattro bike is often used to refer to a four-wheel bike. As a manufacturer of custom bikes, Van Raam offers various alternatives to the quattro bike. In this article, we'll explain why considering a Van Raam bike is worthwhile and what types of bikes Van Raam offers.
Why choose a tricycle instead of a quattro bike?
Both tricycles and quattro bicycles provide stability while cycling due to the extra wheels. Additionally, with both types of bikes, you don't need to dismount when coming to a stop, such as at a traffic light. However, a tricycle is often more stable than a quattro bike when stationary or at low speeds.
This stability at low speeds makes tricycles safer, especially when navigating corners. A tricycle with a lower center of gravity is less prone to tipping over than a quattro bike.
A significant advantage of a tricycle over a quattro bicycle is that tricycles are generally more maneuverable due to their smaller turning radius. This makes them easier to navigate around corners and on narrow bike paths compared to quattro bikes. It also means that tricycles are easier to store, for example in a shed.
