Cycle confidently on two wheels for longer than you thought possible.
A trip to a friend's, a quick errand, or just the simple pleasure of being out on two wheels, the vanRaam Balance gives you the confidence to do it all. A low step-through bike with a genuinely unique feature: both feet flat on the ground, without ever leaving the saddle.
Always ready to stop and start
The Balance was designed around one simple idea: confidence at every stop.
Thanks to its unique frame geometry, you can place both feet flat on the ground while remaining seated. At traffic lights, outside the shop, or when pausing to take in the view, there’s no need to step off the saddle.
That means stopping and starting feels natural, steady, and far less daunting than on a conventional bicycle.
Designed for comfort and control
The seating position on the Balance is slightly further back than on a standard bike. Combined with the forward pedalling motion, it allows you to extend your legs comfortably while keeping your feet close to the ground.
This design also reduces strain on your wrists, shoulders, and neck, helping you ride comfortably for longer. The lower centre of gravity adds further stability, making the bike feel balanced and easy to control.
A very low step-through frame makes getting on and off simple, so you can focus on enjoying the ride.
The confidence of two wheels
For a lot of people, an adult balance bike offers the best of both worlds. It keeps the familiar feel of a two-wheel bicycle while removing one of the biggest barriers to cycling: the moment you need to stop
By allowing you to remain seated with both feet on the ground, the Balance restores confidence without changing the essence of riding a traditional bike.
Make it yours
Every Balance bike is built to order and configured around the rider.
Choose your preferred frame size, colour, and accessories to suit your everyday routine. Options such as mirrors, baskets, and comfort features allow you to tailor the bike exactly to your needs.
Electric pedal assistance is also available for riders who want additional support on hills or longer journeys. That is why many riders choose the Balance when they are looking for low step-through bikes for seniors that combine comfort, stability and personal choice.
Once configured, your bike is carefully assembled by hand at our factory in Varsseveld.

Jan de Jongh is 70 years old and lives with his wife in the Betuwe (a region in the Netherlands).

vanRaam has its own electric pedal assist system, known as the Silent System. This system has been fully developed by vanRaam, specifically for the special needs bikes.
