Customer Reviews for 7-Speed 3 Wheel Adult Tricycle 24'' Yellow Trike Bicycle Bike with Large Basket for Riding

I bought the 3 wheel bike/trike in periwinkle - 26 " wheels (not bike frame), the FENDERS over BOTH BACK FENDERS OVER THE BACK TIRES, BOTH HAVE DENTS, I went with 7 gears, and I had my bike assembled by a professional bike shop. When called, they quoted $150.00, then when I called for an appointment, the young man quoted $100.00, after the bike was assembled, the guy requested $200.00. I protested and paid $100.00. He made a comment that sometimes if you yourself assemble the bike, maybe you can be voiding the Warranty, I chose to have it professionally assembled so it's all done correctly.

I love the bike. One problem that people had said on website that the seat keeps sliding down which it does. May have to put a new piece over pole with screw to keep tight. The other issue I was very surprised at was that it cane in two different colors. I paid for an all red bike not half red half maroon.

EDIT: I wrote this review about 16 months ago, and I still ride this Trike. It is still very, very strong and has proven its high quality. I ride 3 times weekly, and have lost about 40 pounds during the time I’ve been riding. It has no mechanical problems whatsoever, and is a blast to ride. I repeat what I said 16 months ago — BUY THIS TRIKE!!

I love my bike. I live in Florida and ride it most every day a couple miles. It is single speed so best used on fairly flat roads. Slight inclines are ok. Cons, the back bumpers are hard to get on right so they don't rub, mine has had to be adjusted. A friend put it together for me and if I were to buy it again I would have taken to a bike shop and had it assembled. I bought a different seat, but that is just my preference. The one it came with if fine. I also bought lights and a mirror. I am 78 years old, and riding is good for my legs.

I looked at a lot of tricycles online and decided this would be the best for the cost. I wasn’t willing to spend $1000 for a tricycle, and this had decent reviews so I decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did. Is this a fancy bike? No… but it’s well made and functional for my needs. I spent a little more and got the white and silver one, but found that the navy blue and burgundy seemed to be the least expensive colors, typically 40-60 dollars less, sometimes more. My hubby put it together, with very little help from me, and while he is really handy and good at this sort of thing, there wasn’t any point of frustration. It took maybe an hour at most, from when we opened the box to when I was riding.

So, I read the reviews and shopped around local bike shops and the internet. Who could go wrong with Amazon and the free shipping? I was concerned about UPS getting it to my home in a reasonable condition. Schwinn really needs to package this bike better, it's very heavy to ship and handle and we all know that they get thrown about in the process of shipment. When I pulled the bike from the Box, it had a few scratches on it due to the packaging falling apart in transit but it wasn't too bad.

Please consider getting this if you want a trike that's reliable and that you can sit back and have a relaxing cruise on, the quality is amazing, its sturdy and versatile, at least the version I got, the 7 speed gives you the option of either going on a relaxing cruise through the neighborhood or increase the speed if you want a great workout! The complaints I have about this trike are the instructions and the fenders, instructions are a little vague at some parts, they really expect you to be like a experienced engineer, I had to look online for clear unofficial instructions in how to build this beauty, and when Me and my father were done building it, we thought it was broken at first because the gear shifter was not working properly, turns out we didn't hook up the line that goes to the shifter to the gears themselves correctly, I'm glad we decided to look at the manual again because we both caught that something didn't look right. Last thing are the fenders, the fenders came in a little bent, not very much to be honest, I spotted it looking closely at them while screwing them on, can be easily fixed and bent back into shape with a hard surface and carefulness. !!And one last thing!! Get someone to help you build this, this is no one man job!! Overall, an amazing trike, even better that I got this on sale WITH monthly payments, hopefully you can get lucky too with the deal I got, but seeing the full price I would still say that this is worth it!

What I liked: This Schwinn was ordered on Saturday and I received it two days later late morning. The price was very reasonable at $323, although I noticed today the price has been reduced to $307. It's still a great price for this very well built trike. The assembly was straightforward and all the parts were there, It took me about 3 hours to do the assembly. The trike rides well and I'll get more used to it in time. What I didn't like: It took a little extra time because two of the fender bolt holes (one on either side), were not tapped properly and the bolts were cross threaded. Fortunately I had a metric tap and die set for the 6 x .75 size and I was able to retap the bolt holes and recut the bolts so they would fit.

TLDR: I would recommend getting this bike -- regardless of size or ability.

Overall, I am impressed with this trike. Quality is great and the price was right. There are a couple of steps in the assembly that are in the wrong order, but if you have a little mechanical ability, you'll do fine putting it together. I was pleased that the brakes were so close to right out of the box. Recommend!
