Customer Reviews for Foldable Tricycle Adult 24'' Wheels Adult Tricycle 7-Speed 3 Wheel Bikes For Adults

Many of the negative comments you may read are posted by people who are not bicycle mechanics and have little/no experience putting together a bicycle. If you think putting a bicycle together might be challenging for you then you probably want to steer clear of an un-assembled Schwinn Meridian. Even knowing what I'm doing it took about 2.5-3 hours to get the trike assembled and that is only the basic assembly. It took 2-3 days of riding and fiddling with things to get everything adjusted properly.

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.

This bike is amazingly awesome!

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.

This bike (or trike) was fun to assemble and ride. It was carefully packed. With the help of Youtube and friend, we put this together in three hours. I expecially like this 7-speed version of this trike as it opens up a lot more paths and trails to me. "Fit and finish" are especially good for a moderately priced machine. There were no parts missing and its assembly was satisfying. Surprisingly this 78 year old rider could remember some bicycle mechanical skills from 6 decades ago.

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.

Bought this bike for my mom for her 75th birthday. But we had to find a guy at a local bike shop to put it together… he puts together these bikes for people who order them I line and it took even him almost 4 hours! The derailed was backwards & he had to drill an extra hole for one of the screws. It was worth it, but just be sure you budget some extra $$ because it’s not really a “put it together yourself” thing (and I’d worry about safety too).

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!
