Carers and families riding with someone who can pedal but cannot balance or steer, where the stability of three wheels matters. Van Raam rates each seat for 120kg.
Standout strength
Two rear wheels mean neither rider has to balance, while both still get a low step-through and pedal assist.
The main compromise
It is 261cm long and costs $4,114 more than the two-wheel Twinny.
Check before you buy
Plan storage for the 261cm length and ask about the divisible frame option for transport.
