Very happy with mine. Have had it for about 6 months. Had a professional do some adjustments after assembly, cost me about 60.00. Its been a great bike so far. Even the professional bike shop said it was a quality bike.

My husband is handicapped and he loves this bike. Easy to ride. Doesn't tire him out too much and he's riding almost every day. Great choice

The Kent Bayside that I own handles really good and I'm happy with it and I'm sure that the MTN Gearsmith adult tricycles handle the same.

I have had no problems at all. I had a bike shop do all the final adjustments after assembly and all is well. Nice bike.

I would advise getting the regular tricycle. I bought this one for my son when he was two and he outgrew it within just a couple months. He was small for his age too.

David Brinkmeyer is spot on with his answer. It is a great bike but if you are going to be hauling a load you should step up to higher quality bike with more gears and better brakes.

I don't think so. I bought one for my son and he is in first year college. It is fine for nom as he is an athletic baseball player. There is only one gear and you cannot coast. Brakes seem to be optional. I tried and it was not my cup of tea. The fixed gear seems to be similar to tenth gear on a mountain bike so going up any sort of a hill is a lot of work. My wife has a three speed cruiser style bike also from Amazon and I think that would be much more comfortable for the uses you have in mind.

I've driven for hours with 2 adult mountain bikes......no problems. Just make sure it is secured.

Yes, My wife's tri-cycle (with basket on back) is a full size adult bike. Not sure of the wheel size but somewhere around 26".

I don't know about the pedals, but I can tell you we have been very unhappy with the product. We got it for our 2 year-old for Christmas last year. We could tell that it was a mistake as soon as we took it out o the box. As we assembled it we found that the parts didn't go together well and that it was quite rickety. Our son has never taken to it. It leans over when you push it. Also, be aware that there is no way for an adult to steer it while pushing it, unlike some other similar tricycles. I would keep looking for other products if I were you. good luck.

well i bought a shimano next mountain bike from someone, and i don't know if it was my weight or bike, but the back part that guides the chain as you chain gears bent and broke the spokes, so now i am in the same boat. I only weight 230, and i have lost weight, but walking hurts my knees and feet, so i am wanting to ride to get more of a cardio work out. any suggestions?

Hi Harriet, I just weighed our identical Westport Adult tricycle and it's 41 pounds. My daughter has been riding it for years and we absolutely love it. It folds up easily and we store it in our basement over the winter. Good luck! Jeff P.

That is wrong. I am a small woman and I can maneuver it. I did a lot of research on it and it was more like 50 to100 lbs. I wish I still had the info but you can find it. It is a great trike. I love it.

Do not buy one unless you live on the west coast. You will not be able to get services to fix it anywhere else in this country. My advice is DO NOT BUY THIS BICYCLE.

having additional gears to choose from allows the bike to climb hills easier using the lower gears(more pedal revolutions) and obtain a faster cruise speed in the higher gears(less pedal revolutions) so it works much like a manual transmission in a car. I found that this would not fit the Schwinn meridian adult trike however , the axle is not long enough
