Van Raam Balance
The Van Raam Balance low-step bicycle has a unique frame designed to make it is easy to ride, mount and dismount. When stationary the rider can place both feet firmly on the ground without getting off the saddle. The seating position is further behind the pedals than on a conventional upright bicycle, which places less strain on the rider’s back, shoulders, neck and wrists. Made in the Netherlands, this is a quality machine and is built to last.

Description

Adapt and Customise
Electric drive system: this product is also available with an electric motor. The electric assist ‘Silent System’ is produced entirely by Van Raam. The motor, battery, controller, smart display, and software are developed especially for inclusive cycles. The motor also assists when reversing the cycle (pedalling backwards). A smartphone app connects with the settings of the e-system, and can record cycling data, including speed and distance. Battery capacity can also be viewed on the app, real-time.
The Silent electrical system is a 36 Volt system with 250-Watt motor. The pedal sensor detects movement and force and adjusts output accordingly. The system is very smooth – unexpected jolting, which can occur in other systems, is prevented with the Silent System.
Other available options include:
- Extra battery pack for electric assist
- Back-pedal brake
- Larger or smaller frame size: 42 cm or 60 cm (standard is 51cm)
- Indicators
- Easy-shift gears
- Rear-view mirror
- Stick holder bracket
- Speedometer
Other colours are available at extra cost, in any of the standard RAL colours.
A range of adaptations is available. See the Accessories & Adaptations section of this website.
