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

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.

Make sure you read instructions twice and have grease. Still having problems with front brake, but rear brakes work well enough to use bicycle otherwise would be a 5 star.

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

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.

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 bought this bike for work commute, cut the travel time from 45-60 minutes to 20-30 minutes I have had 2 issues so far, I had a bad crash and the rear-left wheel frame bent. The other issue was one of the chain links breaking in 2. Both times I called the customer service phone number and they supplied the new parts quite quickly after a few questions. Now the instruction manual is in need of a rewrite. I have 2 parents in "putting things together" occupations, and they both has some difficulty understanding the manual. If you are not in an occupation that you put things together, I would ask a bike shop near you for help.

I bought this for my son with special abilities and he handles it very well. I am satisfied with this purchase.

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