Although this trike is low to the ground, would you recommend using a helmet with this bike?

It's hard to tip, but it is never too early to start practicing bike safety. My two year old wears one because he tries to ride wheelies and flips it.
221233
yes absolutely use a helmet some children are more clumsier than others and you never want to risk hitting their head

I think that totally depends. .. my little guy is an acrobat, he stands on it and has yet to fall and injure himself... I'm guessing it's a good practice to get a young child adjusted to using a helmet though. ..
221235
Yes, since the toddler is still learning to ride there is a chance of falling off the bike

I never thought about using a helmet. I used elbow pads and knee pads because my daughter fell off the curb on her first try. She quickly learned to control the trike. I am over protective so if I am thinking about a helmet then I would use it...better safe than sorry.

I purchased this trike for my 2 yr old grandson, he loves it. He still can't reach the peddles just yet, but as in a bicycle he wears a helmet when riding. Better safe than sorry.

i would say 'yes' because the seat can be brought down quite low. The handlebars could be a little high, but pedaling shouldn't be a problem.

Yea u could. But go slow to make sure ta bike doesn't fall ova the other way.

I think so. Doesn't work as well on a bike with gears so a trike should be fine.

The terra trike is very low geared and is build for a large person. The advantage of the terra trike is if you get tired, you just stop and rest, no getting off the bike and worry about balance.

no this trike requires a fair amount of assembly. Best to buy it from a local dealer if possible.

I would say that the bike is ok for a shorter ride like in your subdivision and maybe even a bike trail. However, having longer legs due to my height has made the longer bike rides a bit uncomfortable.

In my opinion this would probably be better since there are no pedals to 'reach' --- my grandson usually opts for this one (we recently got him the trike) but he doesn't seem to like to work the pedals. Good luck I hope this helps.

She should be fine. We purchased the bike for my 5 yr old granddaughter and she had no problems with her feet touching the ground. The bike is beautiful and she loves it!

Maybe ..... The seat lowers quite a bit but u may have some trouble. It is a good bike. I enjoy it. (But I'm 6'4)

He could enjoy it very much but he must wear protective helmet and elbow and knee pads because the scooter spins around without knowing when it will, and you may fall off. It is low to the ground so you will not fall far,but it does go very fast. My grandson loves his. He is 11. Years old.

No. We purchased it because the reviews said it was difficult to tip over. Am very pleased with this trike.

Yep. It works great with a helmet. More than just loud, it sounds better so you don't need to crank it up so much.

Yes, the seat is higher off of the ground than many recumbent trikes.. It makes it easier for me ( since I have back issues) to get on and off of the trike.. Also the brakes lock making it easier to get on and off of the trike..

Yes. It's a motorized scooter so yes, it would make it safer to wear a helmit.

Should be fine but you are at the top end of the height spectrum for this bike.

I've never crashed, however I did have an incident where I needed to break hard suddenly. My little boy's head hit the pedestal piece that's mounted. He was wearing a helmet though and ended up being fine. Be very cautious as you ride, and you need to be a good bike rider.
