Customer Reviews for Foldable Tricycle Adult 24'' 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Delivery arrived in one rather heavy box. Took 20 minutes just to unpack and remove protective foam from all parts, which was OK because things were packed tightly together and all the padding helped. While I had assembled many bikes in my younger life, I haven't assembled a bike in over 25 years. I found the included instruction book and video on assembly on the Amazon site differ a bit from the actual fitment, parts, and tools needed for assembly. All that said it took this 70 year old about 3.5 hours of puzzling it out to put this bike together. Out of the box there was one missing part and one broken cable, but Pacific Cycle (who owns the Schwinn name and manufactures the bikes) Customer Service quickly supplied replacements within a week. Bottom line is my wife (73 years young, 5'4" tall) LOVES riding this 26" bike (this three speed version is perfect for her), and that's what this purchase was all about! If you have previous experience assembling bikes I believe you could handle putting this together, but if not I would recommend contacting a knowledgeable friend or a bike shop for assistance. Overall my wife and I would recommend this bike, but with the foregoing caveats.

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