Thank you for mentioning never learning to ride a bike, I always feel embarrassed when I had to say I never learned cause people either look at me like I'm a weirdo, or simply say something that makes me feel bad.
The biggest benefit for me in making the seat higher is that I can extend my legs properly when peddling. If you can't straighten those legs, it's both bad for the knees because of added stress, and it also wears the legs out faster.
Thanks for sharing. Our tricycle models have a pedal-forward which gives our riders an ample amount of leg extension when riding even if the seat is lower. You can also check them out here - www.sixthreezero.com/blogs/bike-advice/what-is-a-pedal-forward-bicycle.
I just bought one today and rode it for the first time going home, I have much to learn. I couldn't control it, even on level ground but I did better whenever I could pick up speed.
Great, thank you, never had the chance to learn to ride aback because I grew up with a damned family who told me 'girls should not put things between their legs'. Now, I hope I can find one of these cute things, preferably with a free doggo in the basket.
I'd stick a dropper post, some suspension, and steering stabilizer on there. Perhaps a Shimano Biopace as well, to reduce stress on the rider's knees. Oh, does it have a differential?
I used to tow my dachshund in a child carrier but it was too heavy so today I bought a folding trike off of Craigslist. It's a one speed but I live in very flat area. I am having trouble making turns as it is different than a two-wheeler. Any tips? (The dog loves it!)
Hi there, I got my new e-trike last week, I’m in Australia. They are starting to become popular here which is great for me, I am ex-army with back, foot and balance issues (among others). The trike has already helped me to safely get out of the house and exercise by myself and given me back that independence I have lost over the last few years. There is almost no content on you-tube about trikes/e-trikes so I really appreciate all your content. One question, does anyone have any advice for riding on roads in Australia? You can only ride on roads under 50km/hr and most have a really steep camber on the edges where you have to ride. I am having a tough time getting the hang of it, so any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello. I just used my new trike for the first couple times this week and it's really difficult to pedal in slight uphill, (very slight) what gear should it be in? Its in number 1 for me
Do tricycles ever get out of alignment as a car does? Because I just bought a second-hand one and am having difficulty riding in a straight line because it just seems to want to go to the right and trying to compensate for this is taking all the fun out of it ~ thanks!
To mount the trike I put on the brakes, step thru and place my foot on the right pedal as its at its lowest position and lift myself up on the seat. Is that OK??
I have a adult tricycle in the bike shop getting assembled. Thank you for posting these videos! **Update** I finally got my adult tricycle yesterday. Had some fears of falling off of it which I need to work on. Any tips for me? I'm a 51 year old female with with diabetes. Also I live in the Downtown area so not a lot of places to practice safely
cool bike & a nice video. But shouldn't the handlebars be level with the ground? seems they are at a wrong angle = bad ergonomics for your hands (look at the reflector pointing down).
What's the size of the back side of the trike. Can I enter my living room from the front door , or the trike is wider the standard size front door? If can't take my trike through my front door, then I will have to put the trike in the garage outside bldg, but there is no room in the garage.
I bought a new one also, paid over 600.00 for it at a professional bike shop and have only ridden it once because I crashed twice on it and injured my knee pretty bad when it suddenly veered to the left and went into the curb and through me off of it and onto the street. What would cause this to happen. Now I am afraid to ride it !!
Hi Carol, we're sorry to hear about the crashing. There are few things that are needed to be looked at why this happened. It could be misalignment or something needs to be adjusted on one of the rear wheels, or other components. The best is to take it to a local bike shop to have it checked. If it's our tricycle, you may send us an email to theteam@sixthreezero.com.
I am ready to buy a tricycle like yours but without the speeds. What size trike do you have? I am 5 feet so Im looking for something to where my meet can touch the ground. Any recommendations?
We'd be glad to make recommendations. If you have three minutes we have a proprietary algorithm to find the right bike for you. Simply go to our website www.sixthreezero.com/pages/get-fitted, and fill out and answer the questionnaires we prepared. At the end of the assessment, it will give you a bike recommendation that fits your preference that fits your lifestyle and your riding style.

The first thing to realize is that it's not a bike. I know that sounds obvious, but it is everything when you are highly accustomed to riding a bicycle. With bicycles you lean forward slightly and you lean into curves. With tricycles you sit proper almost straight backed (which is why some come with a back rest). You lean back into curves. The way you shift your weight is different. Near gutters you will almost have to maintain the wheel pointing away from the curb instead of straight because the wheel will want to tilt down slope.
There are few things that you can check in this case. You may want to check your seat and your seat post to ensure that they are properly aligned, adjusted or the height and angle are correct. You may start with this video ua-cam.com/video/VnAgC3zoXl0/v-deo.html.
Your seat is too high, you'll never get power through the pedals efficiently like tat and your handle bars are weirdly high. Also cycle on the ball of your foot, not the arch, you'll have more power and stamina if you do.
If I can get my cat in the basket then I will really enjoy driving him around lol . I need a trike since I never learned on two wheels and want to go to the beach or trails that are paved for bikes
The dog looks cute in the rear basket,when she was riding the dog was like "Woah what's going on here?" Lol 😂
Thank you for mentioning never learning to ride a bike, I always feel embarrassed when I had to say I never learned cause people either look at me like I'm a weirdo, or simply say something that makes me feel bad.
Embrace the weirdness! I'm always very open about the fact that i never learned to ride a bike or drive a car. Love the look on people's faces!😆😆
Same here ❤

How long have you been riding? :)
@@sixthreezero I'm doing better but now I can't ride it at at all due to cancer.
Sorry to hear about that. How are you now?
Another great presentation, and a very cute passenger in the rear basket, nice touch.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching =)
OMG TYSM MY FAMILY USED TO ALWAYS MAKE FUN OF ME FOR NOT KNOWING HOW TO RIDE A BIKE

You can do it! Feel free to check our bike collection. :)
This will help me a lot once I get a tricycle. I can always refer back to this video and others in case I forget. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello! Would a adult trike be good for a teen to ride to school? I can’t balance on normal bikes so I’ve been trying to find another bike 😅
That’s exactly what I wanted to know.
I just got an electric trike and im happy!
Wow! We're so excited for you. How was it? :)
wow.. its beautyfull. Thanks for information, Succes for You. GBU, Aamin

I'd stick a dropper post, some suspension, and steering stabilizer on there. Perhaps a Shimano Biopace as well, to reduce stress on the rider's knees.

I just received a trike for my birthday. I don't know how to or when to change the gears. It is an 8 grear.
You may check this for your 8 gear cycle- www.purecycles.com/blogs/bicycle-news/96200007-gears-and-shifting-101-3-speed-vs-8-speed
For a trike… that’s pretty nice looking in black.

Hello. I just used my new trike for the first couple times this week and it's really difficult to pedal in slight uphill, (very slight) what gear should it be in? Its in number 1 for me
Hello! You may want to switch your gear to the 7th gear. You can watch this video on how to do that- ua-cam.com/video/QayAv1AUmRA/v-deo.html.
Do tricycles ever get out of alignment as a car does? Because I just bought a second-hand one and am having difficulty riding in a straight line because it just seems to want to go to the right and trying to compensate for this is taking all the fun out of it ~ thanks!
Hi Lynne! We haven't experienced it yet. Let me check with our mechanic. :)
I just got a brand new one, and it keeps pulling to the left. I feel because I couldn't control it.
The stearing is tough how do you ride around a steep curve road while riding fast
Make sure to hold the brakes into the turn and lean into the turn. It's important to transfer your weight accordingly on a trike.
Thank you I'm grateful for your help❤️got my new trike today🙏☘️❤️
You are so welcome
To mount the trike I put on the brakes, step thru and place my foot on the right pedal as its at its lowest position and lift myself up on the seat. Is that OK??
Yes, that is fine. :)

It is a good video but you don't discuss how to corner or deal with road camber which ,I suggest, should be a part of this video.
Thanks for watching. We appreciate your feedback. We will keep this in mind for future videos.
What happens if the steet is not level , special in corners . Do they tip over in this case.
They won't necessarily tip. You'll need to learn how to lean your body weight if the angle is really exteme.
cool bike & a nice video. But shouldn't the handlebars be level with the ground? seems they are at a wrong angle = bad ergonomics for your hands (look at the reflector pointing down).
Good point! The handlebars were adjustable to be able to fit your comfortability and preference =)
What's the size of the back side of the trike. Can I enter my living room from the front door , or the trike is wider the standard size front door? If can't take my trike through my front door, then I will have to put the trike in the garage outside bldg, but there is no room in the garage.

CAN YOU BACK UP ON THE TRIKE
Hi Frank, thanks for watching. What do you mean by "Back up"? You mean have a passenger at the back?
@@sixthreezero I think he's asking if it will go in reverse.

Is it okay to put a canopy as a roofcovering for a 3 wheel bike?
Hello! Thanks for asking. It should be okay =)
Thanks so much ❤️
@@Ladymiiiiiii You're welcome!
I am having trouble with balance, I feel afraid it will tip. I am no way to the weight limit, what is making me afraid of the bike ? Thank you
You can do it!

can I attach a kids trailer to this?
Hi! Based on the rear axel/hitch point of tricycle, kid's trailer won't fit. Anyway, thanks for watching! :)
@@sixthreezero hmmm I wonder if there's a way to get a special piece to attach
You can check a local bikeshop if it's possible to put some rod or a piece that can be attached to the trailer. :)
Its hurt my aśś after 15 min ride. Is that normal?
There are few things that you can check in this case. You may want to check your seat and your seat post to ensure that they are properly aligned, adjusted or the height and angle are correct. You may start with this video ua-cam.com/video/VnAgC3zoXl0/v-deo.html.
@@sixthreezero I think he's asking if it goes in reverse.
Does sprocket and gear change independently?
Hi! I don't think I quite understand the question. Are you asking about how the gears are shifted? :)
Please have a trike giveaway @sixthreezero 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Great idea!
Are you in Sydney? Did you drive it in footpath?
Hi Syeda, we are not in Sydney. There are signs that we can ride the trike in footpath, but some we can't. It depends. =)
Your seat is too high, you'll never get power through the pedals efficiently like tat and your handle bars are weirdly high. Also cycle on the ball of your foot, not the arch, you'll have more power and stamina if you do.
This should be a 70 year old lady.
