Made to order
Most of our inclusive cycles are built to order. Lead times are usually 8–12 weeks, depending on specification. We confirm timescales before you commit and guide you through every option so the cycle suits your needs.
As an authorised partner of Van Raam, we ensure your VeloPlus is correctly specified, fitted and fully supported.
Who this cycle is for
The VeloPlus is designed to carry a person in their own wheelchair on the front platform. It allows a rider or carer to cycle while safely transporting a wheelchair user.
It suits:
-
Families who want to cycle together
-
Care settings, schools and day services
-
Wheelchair users who want to experience cycling without transferring
-
Riders who need a stable, low-step frame for easy mounting
The passenger remains seated in their own wheelchair. This can make outings simpler and more dignified.
How it works
The VeloPlus has a tilting ramp at the front. You roll the wheelchair onto the platform, then secure it safely using the built-in wheelchair lock system. The platform stays low to the ground, which keeps the centre of gravity stable and makes loading easier.
Because the rider sits behind the wheelchair platform, they have a clear view of the passenger and the road ahead. The powerful electric assist supports smooth starts and steady riding, even with extra weight.
How it feels to ride
Despite its size, the VeloPlus feels stable and controlled. The low platform position improves balance, while the wide wheelbase increases confidence.
The electric assist helps you move away smoothly from junctions and manage gentle hills without strain. Braking feels secure thanks to hydraulic disc brakes.

Important considerations
The VeloPlus is not suitable for every wheelchair. The combined weight of the passenger and wheelchair must fall within safe limits, and the chair must fit securely on the platform.
We will always discuss compatibility, storage space, and access before you place your order.
