A tandem trike is, as the word actually says, a tandem with three wheels. Van Raam has several special needs bikes in its assortment, including three tricycle tandems. One of these tandem trikes is called the Kivo Plus and is a child parent tandem. With the Kivo Plus, an adult sits at the back of the tandem and a child can sit at the front of the tandem. Because the Kivo Plus is equipped with two rear wheels instead of one, this tandem gives more stability. Read more about this tandem tricycle for kids here.
The Van Raam tandem tricycle Kivo Plus is made in such a way that a child can sit at the front and an adult can sit at the back of the tandem. The parent is the main driver of the bike and has a good view of the child in front. The child has a good view of the surroundings, but does not have to steer and brake.
This kids tandem tricycle has two wheels at the rear and one wheel at the front. So the bike is very stable. This makes it very easy to get on and off, because the bike does not fall over. Also, the bike has a low entry, so it is easy for the adult and the child to take a seat on the bike.
Standard the Kivo Plus kids tandem trike has 8 gears and a switchable freewheel. Through this switchable freewheel you can determine whether and how the child is cycling. You can choose whether the child should cycle with you, can cycle at his/her own pace or the child cannot cycle with you.
