Options for people with special needs

Is a 'standard' bicycle not practical for you? No problem, we offer a selection of bicycles that are easy to use for people with a disability or special needs. This way people with mobility problems can also enjoy a bike ride with a special bicycle.

Our selection

Rickshaw

Inspired by the Indian rickshaw, a cyclist can transport two passangers with this bicycle.

Do you prefer a rickshaw with driver? That's possible as well, reserve your ride with our bike taxi service TriVelo.

Tricycle

A tricycle offers a stable and low sitting position. This way you are safe and enjoy optimal comfort. This tricycle offers less pressure on the back, shoulders, neck and wrists compared to a regular bicycle.

Tandem

A tandem bicycle is ideal to enjoy a bike ride together. A companion can sit in the front which makes it a safe and comfortable way to ride a bicycle for people who find that difficult on their own.

Parent-child bicycle

Just like the tandem, this parent-child bicycle is handy to go cycling with a companion.

Wheelchair

You can borrow a wheelchair for free.

     

    TriVelo

    TriVelo est le service de vélo-taxi de De Fietsambassade à Gand, qui s’adresse aux personnes à mobilité réduite.

    TriVelo se concentre sur les courts trajets de porte à porte. Nous assurons ce service au moyen d'un rickshaw ou d’un vélo-fauteuil roulant.
