Tandems and the Duetta serve different purposes.

Tandems excel in sports and high-performance applications. They allow both riders to adopt a cyclist’s position and are equipped with features such as aluminum frames and gears for covering long distances and achieving high speeds. Tandems also have two sets of pedals.

In contrast, the Duetta, with its compact size, is designed for everyday urban use and the integration of people with disabilities. Its smaller frame makes it easier to learn how to ride, more practical for navigating through traffic, simpler to store and transport, and it has a single set of pedals. Moreover, it features quick-adjust handlebars, not just seats, adding an extra layer of adaptability. 
When used for integration purposes, the “guided” can sit in the front seat and share the handlebars, effectively taking on a leading role and experiencing the sensation of driving the bike. Communication between the two riders is closer and more fluid compared to tandems.

The Duetta is not only about integration but practicality for:

– Riding with children, offering them a safer and more supportive way to learn how to bike.
– Accommodating young riders with the invitation to “hop on.”
– Enjoying leisure rides for couples.
– Recreational use.
– Exploring tourist destinations with ease.
– Flexibility to convert it into a cargo bike with certain accessories.
– The option to make it foldable, enhancing its portability.

In summary, the Duetta is an ideal choice for daily use, not limited to weekends. It’s an incredibly versatile product that caters to a broader market compared to tandems, and it’s more cost-effective due to its smaller frame and the use of standard materials and components.
