The short answer
The VanRaam Easy Rider Compact is a recumbent delta trike with pedals, not a US Class 1, 2, or 3 sticker. VanRaam’s July 1, 2026 list, excl. VAT, prices the bare trike at €2,796. Silent Electric is €2,698 more. A German sheet prints a 250-watt VR1F motor, 45 Nm, 25 km/h, 522 watt-hours, and an average of 82 km. The Compact+ page prints from 6.125 excl. VAT.
The VanRaam Easy Rider Compact is a recumbent delta trike with pedals, not a Class 1, 2, or 3 sticker you can read off one card, and not the Cube Trike Hybrid. VanRaam’s price list, valid from July 1, 2026, and printed excl. VAT, prices the bare tricycle at €2,796. Silent Electric is a €2,698 line on top of that. A thumb-throttle Silent, limited to pulling away at up to 6 km/h, is €2,818. The larger pack, 23.5 amp-hours and 846 watt-hours instead of 14.5 amp-hours, is €598 more. The English Compact+ page, this crawl, printed “From, excl. VAT and shipping 6.125” and did not print watts. A German technical sheet prints a VR1F motor at 36 volts, 250 watts continuous, 45 Nm, 25 km/h from the factory, a Cube pack of 14.5 amp-hours and 522 watt-hours, and an average range of 82 km.

The bare trike, the motor, and the range lines
VanRaam’s July 1, 2026 price list excl. VAT, the German technical sheet, Cycling Electric’s March 20, 2026 review, and a Dutch dealer card. Thirty-six times 14.5 is 522. Thirty-six times 23.5 is 846.
| VanRaam’s print | The other print | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Bare tricycle €2,796 excl. VAT. Silent Electric €2,698. Silent HT €2,878. Compact+ English page: from 6.125, excl. VAT and shipping. On this brand’s lists a dot is a thousands mark, the way €2.796,00 means €2,796. | A Dutch dealer prints from €2,905 incl. VAT for the fixed-gear bike without the motor, and €2,941 more for Silent. That is not the July excl. VAT list. |
| Motor | Sheet: VR1F, 36V, 250W continuous, 45 Nm, motor weight 5.7 kg, 25 km/h from the factory. | Cycling Electric: VanRaam’s own Silent system, gearless, under the seat, not spoked into a wheel. The price list says a fixed gear is not possible with pedal assistance. |
| Battery | Sheet: Cube 14.5Ah, 522Wh, average range 82 km. The larger option on the price list is 23.5Ah, printed as 846Wh. | Cycling Electric agrees on 522Wh and the 846Wh option, and estimates 20 miles in moderately hilly conditions. A Dutch dealer prints 50 km average, and 29–94 km, on the standard pack. |
| Weight | Sheet: 51 kg including the electric system. Max rider 100 kg. Rack 10 kg. Max system weight 161 kg. | Cycling Electric and the Dutch dealer: 51.2 kg with the system. The dealer also prints 39 kg without it. |
| Chassis | Length 173 cm, width 73 cm, step-in 32 cm, inside leg 63–81 cm, wheels 16 inch front and 20 inch rear. Mechanical disc in front, hydraulic disc in back. | Cycling Electric’s size line is 1.733 m long, 1.097 m high, 0.728 m wide, and calls the rear brakes a pair of hydraulics. The dealer’s length is 174 cm. |
| Assist | Pedals. Reverse is on the comparison table, starred as standard with pedal assistance. The thumb control on the price list is a pull-away to 6 km/h, not a 25 km/h throttle. | Eight-speed Shimano is an option on the base bike and standard on Compact+. Compact+ also makes the silent assist standard. The base bike does not. |
Do not add €2,796 and €2,698 and call the sum the Compact+ page. 6.125 excl. VAT is that page’s from-figure, for the bike that already includes the motor, the eight-speed, and the 20×2.35 tires. Do not average 82 km, 50 km, and 20 miles into one range. Eighty-two kilometres is about 51 miles, and it is the sheet’s average, with no rider weight in the line this desk could read. Twenty miles is a reviewer’s moderately hilly estimate. Twenty-nine to ninety-four is a dealer band. Five hundred twenty-two watt-hours divided by 82 km is about 6.4 watt-hours a kilometre. That is the claim, not the hill ride.
Two hundred fifty watts and pedals still do not make a US class sticker. The sheet’s cap is 25 km/h. A 6 km/h pull-away is not Class 2.
Who it is for
Buy it if you want the seated trike, you can configure the motor instead of assuming it is in the €2,796 line, and a 100 kg rider limit fits. Skip it if you needed a US class label, a cargo box, or a bike you can lift. Fifty-one kilograms is about 112 pounds before you argue about the 0.2. The Cube Trike Hybrid is the tilting cargo trike, and that name covers four builds. The RadTrike is the US Class 2 trike this desk already priced at $1,699, with a 14 mph cap. This one is the Dutch recumbent.
It is not on the class chart as a 20 mph or 28 mph bicycle. The German sheet is a 250-watt, 25 km/h pedelec card. The watt-hour page is the arithmetic: 36 times 14.5 is 522, and 36 times 23.5 is 846. Pay the configuration, not a converted pound figure from an older roundup.

Class 1 is pedal-assist to 20. Class 2 adds a throttle to 20. Class 3 is pedal-assist to 28. A Tuttio is none of these. The sticker is not the trail.
