Rent a tandem bike in Egmond: enjoy the dunes, the beach, and the village together

Renting a duo bike is the perfect way to head out together, even if cycling independently is no longer a matter of course. Whether it is with your partner, a parent, a child, or a friend with a disability: on the duo bike, you sit comfortably side by side, can easily talk to each other, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Egmond together. At Fietsen in Egmond, we rent out the electric Van Raam Fun2Go duo bike, the leading side-by-side tandem in the Netherlands.

What exactly is a tandem bike?

A duo bike, also called a side-by-side tandem, is a three-wheeled bicycle for which two people next to each other sit instead of one behind the other. Both cyclists can pedal, but only one of the two steers and brakes. That makes it ideal for:

• Couples where one partner is less mobile but would still like to go out together
• Informal caregivers with their loved ones who cannot cycle independently
• Elderly who no longer feel safe on a regular bicycle
• People with a physical disability or balance problems
• Family outings where you want to sit comfortably next to each other

Because the bicycle has three wheels, it is very stable even when stationary. You no longer need to stay balanced; falling over is out of the question.

The Van Raam Fun2Go: the tandem bike at Fietsen in Egmond

Bee Cycling in Egmond rent the Van Raam Fun2Go tandem bike, the best-known and most optimized tandem bicycle in the Netherlands. Van Raam has been manufacturing this bike for over 20 years, and renowned organizations such as Rabobank, De Zonnebloem, and the Edwin van der Sar Foundation choose it as their standard. A few strong points:

• Electric pedal assistance with a powerful mid-mounted motor. Cycling against the wind is no longer a problem.
• No entry required: you sit down on the chair, simple and safe
• Adjustable chairs which are even rotatable for the easiest boarding
• Extreme maneuverability: rotates on its own axis, ideal on narrow paths
• Shared 8-speed hub, with an optional setting where the driver determines how the passenger pedals along
• Maximum weight of 280 kg distributed over the two seats, safe and stable
