A bike that you can also use as a wheelchair? This is possible with the Van Raam OPair wheelchair bike. With this bike it is possible to choose for a divisible frame, so you can turn the bike into a wheelchair. Read more about this special bike here.
With the Van Raam OPair wheelchair bike, an companion can go cycling together with a passenger who uses a wheelchair. The passenger sits in front of the bike on an adjustable seat, the companion steers the bike and has a good overview of the passenger and the road.
On location, the OPair can easily be 'divided' with the 'divisible frame' option: the seat area with the passenger is detached from the bicycle section at the back. The bike part can be locked and the front of the bike serves as a wheelchair. The passenger can then be transported further with the wheelchair. When cycling again, you simply reattach the wheelchair to the bicycle part.
