Van Raam Fun2Go Double Rider Cycle

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Van Raam Fun2Go Double Rider Cycle?

The Van Raam Fun2Go is a side-by-side double rider cycle designed for two people to cycle together. One rider controls the steering while both riders can pedal, making it a practical option for shared and supported cycling.

How does the Van Raam Fun2Go work?

Two people sit next to each other on the Fun2Go. One rider is responsible for steering and controlling the cycle, while both riders can participate in pedalling. This arrangement allows the riders to communicate easily while cycling together.

Who is the Van Raam Fun2Go designed for?

The Fun2Go can be suitable for people who want to enjoy cycling together where one rider needs another person to take responsibility for steering and control. Suitability depends on each rider's mobility, posture and individual support requirements.

Do both people pedal the Van Raam Fun2Go?

Yes. Both riders can pedal the Van Raam Fun2Go, while one person takes responsibility for steering. The exact pedalling setup and available options should be confirmed when configuring the cycle.

Do both riders steer the Fun2Go?

No. The Fun2Go is designed so that one person controls the steering. This enables the second rider to participate in cycling without needing to steer the cycle.

Can the Van Raam Fun2Go have electric assistance?

Yes. An optional electric motor is available to provide power assistance. Electric assistance can reduce the effort required to cycle and may be particularly useful for longer journeys, gradients or where the riders require additional support.

Is electric assistance included as standard?

Electric assistance is an optional feature, so check the configuration and specification of the Fun2Go you are ordering. John Preston Healthcare can advise on the available options before purchase.

Can the Fun2Go be used if one rider cannot pedal?

The Fun2Go can be configured for different rider requirements, but the appropriate setup depends on the individual's mobility and abilities. Discuss your requirements before ordering if one rider will not be actively pedalling.

Is the Van Raam Fun2Go a tandem?

The Fun2Go performs a similar shared-cycling role to a tandem, but the riders sit side-by-side rather than one behind the other. This makes communication between the two riders easier and gives both users a clear forward view.

What are the benefits of a side-by-side cycle?

Side-by-side seating allows two people to enjoy cycling together while remaining close enough to communicate easily. It also allows one rider to manage steering while the other can participate in pedalling without having to control the direction of travel.

Is the Van Raam Fun2Go suitable for disabled riders?

The Fun2Go can be suitable for some disabled riders and people who require support to participate in cycling. Individual requirements vary, so seating, transfers, posture, pedalling ability and any additional support should be considered when choosing a configuration.

Is the Van Raam Fun2Go suitable for older people?

The Fun2Go may be appropriate for older riders who would benefit from cycling alongside another person rather than riding independently. Suitability depends on individual mobility, balance, transfers and seating requirements.

Can the Van Raam Fun2Go be used by care homes and organisations?

The Fun2Go may be useful in care, rehabilitation and community environments where supported cycling activities are provided. Organisations should consider individual assessment, staff training, supervision and appropriate cycle configuration.

Is the Van Raam Fun2Go stable?

The Fun2Go is designed around a side-by-side multi-wheel configuration rather than a conventional two-wheel bicycle. Users should still receive appropriate instruction and become familiar with its steering, braking and handling before cycling.

Can the seats be adjusted?

The Fun2Go offers configuration and adjustment possibilities to accommodate different riders. Check the current specification and available options when ordering to ensure the seating arrangement is appropriate for both users.

Are accessories available for the Van Raam Fun2Go?

Van Raam cycles can be configured with a range of options and accessories depending on individual requirements. The available choices can include features relating to comfort, support, operation and electric assistance. Confirm current compatible options before ordering.

Can I try the Van Raam Fun2Go before buying?

A trial or assessment can be particularly useful with a specialist cycle such as the Fun2Go. It provides an opportunity to consider seating, transfers, controls, pedalling and whether electric assistance or additional options are required.

How do I choose the right Fun2Go configuration?

Consider both riders' mobility, height, posture, transfer ability and pedalling requirements, along with where and how the cycle will be used. You should also consider whether electric assistance or additional positioning and support options are required.

Does the Van Raam Fun2Go require maintenance?

Yes. Like any specialist cycle, the Fun2Go should be regularly inspected and maintained. Brakes, tyres, drivetrain and other components should be kept in good working condition, while electrically assisted versions also require appropriate battery care.

Can I get advice before ordering a Van Raam Fun2Go?

Yes. Because the Fun2Go can be configured around different rider requirements, discussing how and where it will be used before ordering can help identify the most appropriate setup and optional equipment.
