Is it for you?
Best suited to
A carer or partner riding with someone who has low vision, an intellectual disability or reduced coordination and can pedal but not steer safely alone. Van Raam rates each seat for 120kg.
Standout strength
Both seats have a low step-through, and at 44.5kg it is the lightest Van Raam tandem in the range.
The main compromise
On two wheels the stoker still has to be comfortable balancing; the three-wheel Twinny Plus suits riders who need stability.
Check before you buy
Ask about the optional rear steering handle and divisible frame, which change the price.
