Van Raam Chat Rickshaw Bike

The Chat is a Rickshaw bike designed to be used by both adults and children who are no longer able to navigate traffic on their own. It is also ideal for recreational use in parks, on promenades or wherever else you would like to go. An accompanying person cycles the rickshaw with one or two people enjoying the comfortable double seat. The two people who join the group are seated next to each other in a specially designed cockpit where design and ergonomics come together.  The driver sits behind and enjoys a good overview of the road, and also of the occupants.

The Chat rickshaw bike comes standard with the Van Raam electric pedal support, which can be used to cycle backwards, among other things. Because the electric pedal support is standard, you get access to the Van Raam E-Bike App. This App is free and can be used as a luxury cycling computer for Van Raam bicycles with pedal assistance. Optionally, the Chat can be extended with a canopy, so that the passengers are protected from sun and rain. This canopy is not part of the standard version and has to be ordered separately. You can call us on 028 92 67 70 77 to discuss this or any other available accessories.

The Chat gives people the opportunity to talk to each other, while enjoying a comfortable bike ride through a combination of suspension, correct ergonomics and soft seating.  Elderly people can, for example, explore the city together with young people and take on the role of 'guide' and tell stories from the past, thus bringing them out of their isolation for a while. Besides the fact that this rickshaw bicycle offers a solution for the elderly, the Chat is also suitable for people who want to go on a guided tour, but also for care institutions, families and holiday parks.
