Description

Standard features include fixed wheel drive, steering limiter, chain protector, lights, rear hub brakes, front V-brake, parking brake, security lock, and environmentally friendly paint. The frame comes with five-year warranty.

A fixed gear allows the rider to reverse the trike and to slow it down without using a brake lever. The trike’s momentum carries the cranks past top-dead-centre which can be helpful for developing leg strength and flexibility.

Differential: the differential is important; cheaper trikes drive only one rear wheel, making pedalling harder to turn in the direction of the driven wheel. Differentials allow both rear wheels to be driven – balancing out the drive forces – and this makes going round corners the same whichever way you turn. Without a differential all pedalling forces travel through one wheel – a differential makes it much less likely to lose traction in slippery conditions.

The ‘Midi’ is more suitable for larger children or small adults. Click here to see the Midi tricycle.

 

Adapt and Customise

Gearing options:

  • Freewheel (single speed)
  • Back-pedal-brake (single speed)
  • 8-Speed Shimano Nexus hub gear with hydraulic brake
  • 8-Speed Shimano Nexus hub gear with back-pedal-brake
  • 8-Speed Shimano Nexus hub gear with back-pedal-brake and & reverse function (pedal backwards)

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:

  • A range of extra battery packs for electric assist
  • Frame sizes 25 cm or 39 cm (standard is 30 cm)
  • One piece handlebar
  • Handlebar controlled hydraulic brakes, gears, and bell on one side only
  • Backrest support (with or without waist belt)
  • Foot rest/ step
  • Easy-shift gears

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.
