Electro system Silent 

 
The Silent Electric motor system is a special developed  support system by Van 
Raam for the rehabilitation market. The system is characterized by: 

1.  A simplicity of operation 
2.  The powerful electric motors 
3.  Modern and efficient electronics 
4.  Extremely high quality and safe batteries 
5.  Individually adjustable support for cycling 

 
The Silent system comes standard with a basic support mode individually 
programmed for your bike. In most cases, it gives precise and smooth cycling 
characteristics with a good compromise between support and radius of action. 
 
In special cases, an individually tailor-made cycling program is necessary. You can 
obtain information from the dealer about the possibilities of a customised cycling 
program.  
 

Functions: 

 The electric system has the following functions: 
-  Pedal support while cycling 
-  Start support
