would this bike work well in grassy areas or dirt? we live on acreage that does not have sidewalks

No. It sits too close to the ground and the smoothe plastic wheels do not give any traction. It's cute but not functional.
335673
No. Look for rubber tires. This has hard plastic tires and is hard to get going.

I use my lawn cart on a long sidewalk. I couldn't really say if it would work well on inclines or bumps. I've used it on the lawn by the sidewalk and it's fairly manageable. I'd think something sturdy with bigger wheels would be more appropriate. Hope that is helpful.

Bumpy roads should be fine. Not sure about trails because this is a hybrid, not a mountain bike. However, if you want to do off road biking, you can change out the tires for ones that are better designed for that kind of riding. I don't need a mountain bike and have never ridden trails with mine so I can't tell you whether the suspension is sufficient.

I would say no. This is a beautiful cruiser with gears (basically) i think out would survive a dirt path but its more for cruising pavement or boardwalk. I think you're looking for something with a lighter frame and sturdier wheels (i am guessing the dirt road would have grooves and bumps). Try going to an REI store and asking the petiole

it is a very weak front wheel drive powered unit so getting around on any terrain other than concrete is not really an option, but for general use on even pavement and a fairly light person this would work

It is okay to ride on hard compact dirt, However on loose sand you will need to make sure you keep the chain well oiled.

I use it on pavement and it works fine...I'm not sure about dirt roads though. If I hit even a little bump on uneven pavement it bumps all over the place.

My grandson has only ridden it in his large basement and garage, he doesn't live on a kid friendly street, I think if it was smooth pavement it would work well.

It should not be too big for you, but it is definitely not built for rocky surfaces. It is a road bike, with narrow tires for speed. You'll want a mountain bike or hybrid for rocky trails.

I gave this Trike to my Grandson and he loves it. They have a grassy backyard where it seems to work fine, in spite of the uneven surface. He also rides in on the sidewalk, while not the same as pavers, there are numerous gaps and bumps which it seems to handle with no problems. I think the wheels are big enough that they should be able to handle pavers as well.

The wheels are large and can manage grass, but if the lead wheel might dip into an uneven hole it tends to tip forward, ok on paved surfaces... If one needs moderate support for balance maybe get one with four wheels.. The lowest height of adjustment is is handles at 30" from ground, probably fine for your height

I agree with the other answers. The tires are wide and thick and will work well on bumpy pavement. Still this is a bike for a small child and bumpy pavement may not be safe unless an adult is pushing the bike.

I think it would not do well in thick, plush grass. The wheels are not real oversize. But for pavement, or hard packed grass / ground, this little cart is a gem. Used it today to transport decoration boxes from garage to house and back

This is an awesome toy/bike. My grandchildren ages 6 to 11 love it. It is easy to handle and they love the way it turns in circles. We use it on a concrete driveway. I don't think it would be good for grass. May work ok on a hard dirt surface. It is very well made and was easy to assemble.

It works good on grass, my daughter rides hers on the driveway as well as the lawn with no problems. Sand doesn't go to well with it at all. As long as the gravel is really packed good it shouldn't be a problem.

Yes. It rides just fine on grass. My granddaughter has one, and they have no paved driveway where they live, and she rides it all around the yard.

I think it would be difficult for a 5 year old to ride on gravel or pasture unless the surface were hard and fairly level. The wheels are not as large as a bike and the mechanical advantage from the sprocket might make pedaling too difficult.
