Van Raam rickshaw bike Chat with great impact
For the first annual meeting of Cycling without Age (CWA) in England, on November 23rd, 2019 we provided the Van Raam rickshaw bike Chat. Learn in this article more about the project "Cycling without age" and the Van Raam Chat and its great impact.
The Chat at the CWA annual general meeting in England
The Annual General Meeting of Cycling without Age took place at the nursing home in Rowheat House England, Birmingham. One of our dealers from England, Ashfield Special Needs tells us what a great success it was. The rickshaw bike Chat had a great effect and was favoured by everyone! The residents of the Rowheat House nursing home in England were especially impressed by the opportunity to ride backwards, which is possible thanks to Van Raam's unique pedal support. Residents of the nursing home who tried the Chat and didn't want to get off and keep going.
The Chat had a great impact and was favoured by everyone.
The Chat as Rolls-Royce of the rickshaws at CWA
On the website of Cycling Without Age different rickshaws can be found. However, it is the rickshaw bicycle chat of Van Raam which is called "The Rolls-Royce of trishaws". In 2018 Van Raam encountered Cycling Without Age. The non-profit company gives (lonely) elderly people all over the world the opportunity to use rickshaws in order to get outdoors and enjoy cycling again.
The CWA founder and Van Raam agreed that the current rickshaw bicycle needed modernization, so Van Raam decided to consider a new contemporary version of the rickshaw bike.
This is how the idea of the Chat rickshaw bicycle was born, which is now the Rolls-Royce of the rickshaws at CWA.
More special features of the rickshaw bike Chat
The Chat is a rickshaw bike that is suitable for a variety of cyclists. This bike is a great solution for the elderly as well as for small children on holiday to explore the area. Besides the good looks, the rickshaw bike chat is also very comfortable. This is partly due to the unique riding characteristics and the ergonomic seat.
