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 passengers with this bicycle.
Do you prefer a rickshaw with driver? That's possible as well, reserve your ride with our bike taxi service.
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.
Bike taxi
The bike taxi service of The Fietsambassade in Ghent is aimed at people with reduced mobility.
The bike taxi focuses on short door-to-door trips. We provide this service with a rickshaw or a wheelchair bike. Do you have an appointment with your hairdresser, are you going to visit your family or do you just want to take a breath of fresh air, but it is difficult for you to move independently? Our bike taxi will be happy to take you there!
