What is the probability of tipping over on a road that's not level? Can anyone tell me their experience with that inevitable pothole or ditch?

Dear Mary,I have had my trike for two years and I go over sometimes rough roads and it is very stable. The Driveways on a sidewalk are quite slanted and it is possible to tip over if you were not careful, as you cannot lean into a trike as you can on a bike to correct it. When they are too steep, I go on the street. Riding on road that is narrow you have to be aware of your right rear wheel that there is enough room to keep it on the street or you could tip over. This trike is just wonderful and I have actually ridden twenty two miles on a bike path. The fact that it is 24" ,gives it a lower center of gravity which makes it more stable. Good luck to and good riding!Carole Dear Mary,I have had my trike for two years and I go over sometimes rough roads and it is very stable.

Make wide turns, avoid uneven streets and pot holes. Great Bike, issues are the same with all 3 wheelers.

I live in a hilly, pot-holey neighborhood and take a five mile exercise ride every morning. Never came close to tipping over.

It needs to be staked down as otherwise it can tip over. You could probably secure to fence some way

Clearly you need to look at some examples of foot pegs mounted. The tilt does not matter because the pegs rotate on the center pin to any degree. As for the curve, you don't mount them on the curve. Every highway bar made has an area straight enough for the pegs to be mounted to. Usually they are mounted 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up from the bottom of the bars. Search foot pegs online and you will see enough pics to understand.

The roof does slope. The wind does knock it over. It will need to be anchored or sheltered to avoid that.

I have not experienced this. Both children, 4yr & 2yr, have jumped and climbed frequently with no tipping. In fact, if set up and used correctly I fail to see how it could possibly tip.

Don't know the limit but the one I had had a bad tendency to tip over backwards. Lucky I was on the lawn or I would have gotten a concussion. If you keep it low, it's very hard to get up. If you keep it higher, it tips over.

The design prevents it from tipping. Mine is full and I've never had an issue. Would be difficult to tip it over, actually.

I haven't had this problem, BUT I can see where it would be a problem. I guess you'd have to anchor the poles into the ground. Even that wouldn't be a guarantee.

you could probably drive on safely if it were flat. before getting under the vehicle id probably shake the car on the side that is on the ramps just to make sure the ramps are embedded into the gravel and wont have any sudden movements.

No, it is very sturdy -- takes a lot to tip it over. But I'd watch the speed on going downhill, for sure.

I have not had a tipping problem and have had two youngsters in it. It needs to be on on flat ground. If it isn't set up in a flat spot, then yes it could tip.

Yes, the gravel will actually be more leveled than smooth though. Hope that makes sense.

I've never had an issue bottoming out only once when I hit a pot hole . But that's normal I think. I have rode 2 up and never an issue . Happy riding !

Greetings Robinson. It's pretty good for all roads. I've been using it for climb and down hill, also for street and it has worked so good.

Pete: Sorry, I cannot attest to its outdoor worthiness. I suggest you contact the manufacturer for the reliable answer. Perhaps others may post responses from their own experiences.

The only experience with uneven ground included rough sidewalks. I had to pay particular attention to bumps where one wheel stopped. I would think this would be the case for all knee walkers. I normally limited my use to paved surfaces or floors in buildings. Still love the unit though. This is my second one (I sold the first thinking I wouldn't need it again). This one I'm keeping. Hope this helps.

I'm not a marshal arts or a boxer but i can say that if fill with sand,it's almost impossible for it to tip, hope this will help you,Benny
