Things To Consider When Buying An Adult Tricycle

By Virginia Burns


Choosing a trike that will suit to your needs is not that difficult. It has become more popular nowadays especially with seniors that have problems with their balance and handicaps. It has a step through design which makes it easy to mount and dismount. This type is more stable compared to its other counterparts. It offers a lot of pros and less cons. When it comes with adult tricycle, individuals must consider the different options that are available in the market today.

Adults can ride as slow as they wanted to because the balance will not become an issue. They can easily put their feet at the ground comfortably when they stop pedaling. The upright riding positions is comfortable on the hands, butt and back. Trikes nowadays are more high quality compared to their previous designs and models and the weight is lighter but stronger.

Just like bicycles, there are several kinds of tricycles as well. Make sure to know the different advantages and disadvantage of each type. Consider the make and model of a trike before purchasing. Keep in mind these kinds such as traditional, trikes with seating, low step through, with recumbent seating, two wheels in the front while the other wheel is behind and electric scooters.

Comfortability. This is a crucial component of any vehicle. This is more essential for tricycles because these are specifically designed for cruising around and leisurely rides than racing. But comfort should not be taken too far especially if the trike is being used primarily for exercises.

Leisure vehicles have features such as plush seats and will have the seat far back and set low for the handlebar in semi reclined position. Some are inclined highly and have a backrest which is attached on the seat. Even though this addition is comfortable when touring around the town, if owners are planning to take it out on long distance rides, then having a tricycle with a forward seat and aggressive push will transfer the power into the pedals.

Consider the wheels. Unlike bikes, tricycles have different wheel diameters. Although the size will not become a factor for effort and speed, if combine with set of gears, this will determine the number of times that owners will need to pedal to reach a certain distance. Additionally, trike wheels are not created equally.

Thankfully, a maintenance of a trike will not require any special accessories and parts. Most trikes have the same parts as bicycles which mean they are easy to find from different bike stores and shops. The difficulty of maintenance will depend on multiple gears, disk brakes, calipers and shifting cables.

Researching must be done before buying a trike. Every make and model have different pros and cons. Take into account the different benefits of each model and the price rate they offer. If possible, only choose models that are made by reputable companies and suppliers.

Budgeting is important. Potential clients will need to consider the prices that each store is offering. Stores have the best quality of tricycles but the items are expensive and does not offer custom made. If possible, going for a custom made would be best to suit your needs.
