Customer Reviews for 1-Speed 3 Wheel Adult Tricycle 24'' BlueTrike Bicycle Bike with Large Basket for Riding

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.

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!

The bike works well for the price, but it is very flimsy. I also wish I got the one with gears.

I have to agree with other posters that if you get this bike and you've never put a bike together before than take it to someone to assemble. That 45-1hr time estimate for assembly? Yeah, not for the novice bike assembler. I really didn't know anything about bikes before this, this was actually my first bike ever. I made the mistake of being impatient and I went ahead and ordered the bike through amazon thinking it wouldn't be hard to assemble myself. It was more like a total of 7 hours spread out over 3 days because I got my bike on a weeknight and had school. My fiance and I almost killed each other multiple times. I cried every day.

There's a lot of good stuff here, and a few things that could do with a change.

Everything was in the box undamaged. The bike was easy to assemble and rolls very easily. I highly recommend it.

Well-made machine constructed of quality materials.Better than expected quality

We’ve had this hike for about a year now and it works perfect. The ride is smooth, comfortable. We bought for our sister who’s on the shorter side about 4’8? And it’s perfect and enjoys her ride

This bike is absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend this for anyone who is physically challenged and misses riding a bike!
