The smart trishaw
Chat by Van Raam
An award-winning Dutch trishaw built for accessibility — with a drop-to-the-ground footrest, spring-suspended passenger box and smartphone-controlled motor.
- Award-winning design
- Drop-down footrest
- Suspended passenger box
- Reverse gear
App-controlled
Pair with the Van Raam app to tune assist levels, lock the bike and check battery state from your phone.
Pedal-reverse
Unique among trishaws: just pedal backwards and the Chat reverses — no more walking it out of tight spots.
100 cm cushioned seat
The widest seat in our lineup, with a spring suspension that smooths out rough streets.
8-speed derailleur
Flexible gearing for flat city rides and hilly terrain alike, paired with hydraulic disc brakes.
Built by specialists since 1974
Van Raam has designed adaptive bikes for five decades. The Chat was refined over 18 months of field testing with accessibility advocates — and it shows in every detail, from the dropdown footrest to the reverse pedal mechanism.
