Customer Reviews for Foldable Tricycle Adult 26'' Wheels Adult Tricycle 1-Speed 3 Wheel Bikes For Adults

I bought this bike after reading every single review, both positive and negative. I even took the step of ordering the bike from Amazon's Warehouse Deals. I paid a very reasonable price. I am a 52 year old woman who does not really have a lot of mechanical experience, but it was a beautiful day when the bike arrived. I got my iced tea and sat on my porch with the box and spent a leisurely afternoon figuring it out. With only a little help from my husband and son (mostly to just confirm I did something correctly) I was able to assemble the bike. I'm glad I did, too, because now, adjustments make more sense to me...I know the parts and understand how they work and fit together.

This is my experience with the Schwinn Meridian 24” adult tricycle. It arrived at the time promised and the carton was in good condition. There appeared to be no damages to it. I had set up a table to spread the parts out. It took me about twenty-five minutes to unpack and unwrap each part while spreading them out on the table. The parts were packed better than any other product I have ordered from Amazon. There were no damages to any part nor were there any parts missing.

Shipping was fast and the product arrived in good condition and well packed. It takes two people to assemble and make sure you have time and space to work, plus the tools they recommend. The instructions are okay but not great. It was challenging to get the backend assembled correctly. I engaged Schwinn support about some adjustment info and they were responsive but not very technically helpful. They advised me to see a local bike shop but the trike is quite large when assembled and I don't have a pickup truck to transport it to a shop. Luckily I managed to fix things myself.

Everything was in the box undamaged. The bike was easy to assemble and rolls very easily. I highly recommend the 7 speed verses the single speed, really a 10 speed option would be great. Using first of the seven speeds the bike is easy to pedal, it is great for walking your dog as you can just stop and sit while your dog sniffs every blade of grass in the neighborhood.

The quality is OK. It is straightforward to assemble, at least for me; I don't know the instructions, and I didn't read them at all. It is mainly by common sense. I tried to find tricky parts. I recommend the Tricycle best shot for the money; the other competitors use lower-quality materials. Sometimes the speeds might need some tuning as the front brake.

I was a little worried about assembly, after reading some of the reviews, because I'm not very mechanically inclined, but I didn't have too much trouble with it. The manual that comes with it isn't great, but there are some good videos on YouTube--just search "schwinn meridian assembly." I watched a couple of those before I started putting it together, and apart from the well-known fender issue (I joined the "just leave the fenders off" club), the only times I had trouble were when I forgot how something was supposed to go and decided to just wing it instead of coming back inside to look at the video again. I did eventually get it all sorted out, and I'm kind of a klutz, so if I can do it, you probably can too!

There are a couple of things to know before purchasing this, or any, adult tricycle. I wish I had been better prepared!

I’m a senior citizen with a year old hip I needed exercise. This lets me visit my neighbors and exercise at the same time. I love being outside and I ride with my son and grandson!

Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase. It's really a fun bike to ride, the 7-speeds are enough to deal with inclines and yet get up to a decent speed on level ground. It's pretty sturdy and fairly comfortable "as is" with stock seat, pedals and grips.

Pros: Sturdy frame, easy build... I had no issues with the build at all and was quick..
