Unique riding characteristics of the City walking aid
Van Raam's City is a walking aid that supports walking and prolonged standing. Read and watch in this article the unique characteristics of the walking aid, such as its maneuverability and low entry.
4 Unique riding features of the Van Raam City walking aid
4 unique riding characteristics of the Van Raam City
The City walking aid is designed for people who have difficulty walking or have problems standing too long. It is a good alternative for people who do not want a walker, or a wheelchair is not necessary.
Read here the 4 unique riding characteristics of the City walking aid:
1. Relieves the joints
Because you support your body weight on the saddle of the City walking aid, the hips, knees and anklesare relieved. This makes it possible to stand longer, or walk longer distances, than before.
2. Foldable and lightweight
The City is lightweight and foldable. You fold the City by opening the lock on the side of the walking aid with a key. Then you open the clamp, allowing you to fold the rear wheel inside. When folded, the walking aid is easy to take with you in the car or on public transport. Watch the product video of the City to see how the walking aid is folded and how it is used.
3. Low entry
The walking aid has a low entry, so you can get on the City without lifting your leg high. The stable standard makes getting on and off even easier.
4. Maneuverable
The compact size and the two small sturdy wheels make the City very maneuverable. Because the walking aid has one wheel at the front, the turning circle is small. This is a big difference with for example a rollator. Read more about the differences between a walking aid and a rollator in the article 'Walking bike instead of a rollator'.
