Next to special needs bicycles for one person, Van Raam manufactures bicycles for multiple people, like wheelchair bikes and tandems. In this article you will learn more about Van Raam’s tandems: the two wheel tandem Twinny, three wheel tandem Twinny Plus, parent-child tandems Kivo and Kivo Plus and the side-by-side tandem Fun2Go + the Funtrain double rider cycle trailer.
At Van Raam we are continuously working on the further development of our custom bikes including the many options and accessories. In order to continue to innovate, Van Raam's Research & Development department, with the help of students from the Innovation Hub Innovar, is always working on design, innovation and improvement. A common option, the foot fixation (and lower leg fixation), is completely renewed!
If it's not possible to ride a standard two-wheeled bike due to stability problems or other limitations, a three-wheeled bike is a good solution. Due to illness or aging, you may come to the stage where cycling with a standard bicycle is not (or no longer) possible or is no longer safe. The risk of falling is too big and getting on and off the bike is no longer possible, so participating in traffic is no longer safe for you and your fellow road users.
As you get older, your sense of balance may deteriorate, you may have less strength and you may be afraid of falling when cycling on a regular bike with two wheels. Fortunately, more and more seniors are discovering the solution to staying mobile and opting for an electric tricycle for seniors with pedal support. Read more about electric tricycles for seniors here and read the story of Gunda Krauss and her Easy Rider.

Van Raam produces bicycles for people who can’t ride a conventional two-wheel bike. In addition to the bikes in our standard product range (tricycles, wheelchair bikes, tandems, side-by-side tandems, low step through bikes and the scooter bike), we also produce occasionally special custom made bikes. For example, a special hand bike has been made for Mr. Roering at Van Raam.
Many people who can not cycle on a regular bicycle are looking for a good and safe alternative. At Van Raam we have a very wide choice of special needs bikes in varied sizes and for all ages. An important category are our tricycles.
