Van Raam has various types of tricycles:
Traditional tricycle, two-wheels behind and one wheel in front
Comfortable tricycle with seating, low step through and lower sitting position
Compact electric scooter bikes that can also be used without pedalling
Traditional tricycle
The traditional tricycle is a cycle with two wheels behind and one wheel in front, where the seat is placed above the bottom bracket. You pedal almost straight downwards and sit relatively high on the bike. As the frame of a tricycle is not inclined at the bend, it takes a little getting used to for some people. With one front wheel, this type of cycle can be manoeuvred more easily. This is also because practically all Van Raam cycles are equipped with a differential. Van Raam has different sizes for this type of tricycle.
Comfortable tricycle with seating, low step through and lower sitting position
There is a tricycle with a low step through, a seating with back support and a forward pedalling position designed for people, who want to cycle in a comfortable and stable manner. You sit at a lower height, which gives you a lower centre of gravity, thereby boosting confidence and giving a feeling of safety. Almost anyone can ride without getting used to it on this cycle. The comfort seat gives your back support and adequate space for sitting. This completely different cycling position hardly puts any pressure on the back, neck, shoulders and wrists. As you are practically sitting between the rear wheels, you also have fewer problems anticipating the width. There is an adult and a junior variant of this type of tricycle. There is also a sports model with under-steering.
Compact electric scooter bike
The compact electric scooter bike is designed for people with stability problems or variable energy levels. There are three options available on this tricycle: you can ride the trike by just pedalling, you can ride it by pedalling with electric pedal support, or you can use 100% electric power assist. When you fold the footrest down, you do not pedal anymore and use the cycle as a scooter. This can have variable speed levels. You can easily decide which type of support you want during the cycle ride.
Stability and safety
Van Raam’s tricycle bikes provide stability and create a sense of safety while cycling. They are easy to get on and come with great seat support. Van Raam also has a tandem trike bike in her wide range of products, providing our customers with good stability and an easy way of getting on and off of your bike. The tricycle bike stands out from the training wheels because they provide more stability, are smooth running and always make contact with all wheels to the surface.
