Started assembling today. The trike came well boxed and all the parts were padded and secured. The fit and finish is perfect so far. I'm 78 years old a disabled veteran. Got the derailleur, rear tires, and the rear and main frame assembled in around 40 minutes. My advice is to follow the written instructions abd use the video as a backup. The assembly is common sense once you get the main frame and rear frame finished. Just take your time. I plan on an hour or two a day starting tomorrow. With any luck I can wrap it up in another day. Just a lot of busy work once you get the frames and tires done.
my derailleur will not do all 7 gears and looks bent., how do i get it replaced. and by the way, your video shows the chain coming off the gears onto the hub.
Sept 2024, different design and parts! No update to the video and instructions were not detailed. Had to takepix.of the photos and enlarge them on phone so i.could see the darn screw or whatever they were talking about.
Chain came wrapped around the main frame. And the rear frame just keeps popping off when I try to tighten the short chain. Never seen more useless instructions in video or paper form. There are pieces that don't have labels. What's going on viribus?
This video sucks! Thank god im kind of handy and figured it out! Company definitely needs a better video if this is what they recommend! The loose chaim problem try sliding where you attached back wheel back some to tighten chain! Good luck
My trike is new. I rode it without power assist a few times to get the feel of it. I then wanted to use power, but the battery was dead.. I plugged it in overnight, but it will not take a charge. What should I do?????
We took our time and it took us about four hours to put it together. It is a good idea to go to harbor freight and pay to $16 and get a chain tool rather than using a pair of flyers too slowly evenly and carefully press the chain ends together. Also whoever built one where did you position you're a gearshift klove for the derailleur?
I was considering purchasing this tricycle however I am not going to put it together myself. There is just no way I can do this. My heart just sank at this and the comments. Wow. Why in the world would anyone purchase something at this price and then assimble it. Wow. How disappointing.
I have been two weeks and several hours trying to get this adult tricycle together and I get virtually no help from the company. They offered me $30 for my inconvenience, and then today they offered me $25. I have watched several posted videos but the hands of the assemblers keep hiding crucial moments. Right now I cannot figure out how the derailleur assembles. Currently, the cable is getting chewed up. A bicycle shop offered to ameliorate my problem for $200. The company has sent me three UA-cam addresses and none work--they are no longer available. The paper directions are a joke and the videos are the same. My patients have run thin and I am ready to put them in the trash, but I am driven to get in touch with my federal representatives, the Commerce dept, and any other agency that will force an honest attempt to resolve my issue. I just want to get it put together. Wish I never bought this terriable piece of junk.
Assembling a bike derailleur can be a bit complicated, so it's important to follow these steps carefully: Start by installing the rear derailleur hanger on the frame of the bike. This is a small metal piece that bolts onto the derailleur dropout on the frame. Make sure it is securely tightened. Attach the derailleur to the hanger by sliding the derailleur onto the hanger and tightening the bolt or screw. Make sure it is tight enough to hold the derailleur in place, but not too tight. Next, install the derailleur cable. Start by threading the cable through the cable housing, which is a protective tube that runs from the shifter to the derailleur. Be sure to cut the cable to the appropriate length if necessary. Thread the cable through the cable anchor bolt on the derailleur, making sure it is properly aligned and securely fastened with a bolt or screw. Adjust the barrel adjuster, which is a small cylinder located where the derailleur cable enters the derailleur. This is used to fine-tune the shifting. Turn it clockwise to tighten or counter-clockwise to loosen. Lastly, test the shifting by manually moving the derailleur up and down through the gear range. Make any necessary adjustments to the barrel adjuster or cable tension until the shifting is smooth and accurate. Remember, if you're unsure about any of these steps, it's best to consult a professional bike mechanic for assistance.
Oh oh. I just got started. Print manual is worthless. Now watching videos I found online. I'll give the company credit,however, they did do a solid job packing the bike.
LOL. I'm having no problems at all. Tryke came well packaged and protected. It sounds like the complainers here should have spent a small fortune on something already assembled. It's a great tricycle for the money. I'm a 78 year old disabled veteran and have experienced no problems so far.
Worst instructional video I have ever seen!!! This bike is the worst to put together. It would not be so bad if the instructions were clear and not in speed mode. If you really want to seel more bikes maybe make a better how to video. Amazon is going to get a 1 start review on this one. Also the frame where it slides the front and back was bent on one side. Ridiculous!
The spacing across the ends of the front fork which engage the wheel axle is what I was asking about. This dimension is needed when considering front wheel ebike conversion kits. As it is, this measures 100mm.
@@viribusworkshop I went with a 500w Bafang kit. I mounted the 20A battery pack to 3/4" plywood u-clamped on the down tubes between the seat post and basket. Had to do without my front fender because the torque arm interferes with mounting and the front basket brace holes had to be reamed out a tad with my Dremel to account for a mm size difference in axles. All good though. Great work horse of a trike!
For the love of god update your instructions. Parts are not the same depicted in either the video or manual. Instructions are obviously out of date. Just do better.
Got my box of bike bits today and spent 10 miserable hours trying to put it together. My back is in incredible pain now. I've given up and I'm taking it to a bike repair shop, which I hasten to add is over an hours drive away...Frustrated and annoyed... Your videos are way too fast, so much so I had to change the speed to watch and still no luck...So over it
Follow the written instructions and use the video as a backup. I'm 78 and a disabled veteran. Most of the assembly is common sense. I just started to assemble today. Got the derailleur, rear tires, and attached rear and main frame in about 40 minutes. Looks good so far. Limiting my time to around 1 hour per day starting tomorrow.
What happens when half your parts are bent or misaligned? Hard to get the bike assembled with bad parts.
Please fire whoever directed this video. Made me even more confused than the terrible instructions

not good video, it is too fast and not helpful
Our purchase assembly went well. However, the frame is bent. Tricycle turns to the right.
Dear customer, I'm very sorry to hear that. You could contact our customer survice to get technical help.
@@viribusworkshop we need to get the frame straightening done.
@@viribusworkshop I bet you are sorry.
at 7:12 when bringing the chain to cog one, it actuallys slips in the video. No wonder I can't get mine to work
yep, slowed the speed down and that chain definitely slips past smallest cog
@@sharonk.3107 I can barely move mine and it will not shift.
my derailleur will not do all 7 gears and looks bent., how do i get it replaced. and by the way, your video shows the chain coming off the gears onto the hub.
Mine will not work at all and all the company can say is I am sorry. We will have a tech get in touch with you.
Long chain of dual chains tangled when removed from box. How do I install it?
my chain seems too long it sags
You need to tighten the derailure cable where cable attaches to the hold nut assembly.
My chain seems too long too
Try unloosing the bolts that connect the 2 frames with chain on and try sliding back wheels back some to tighten chain!
@@Sean-il9if i didn't have the chain fed through the derailleur correctly

are the derailleur gears supposed to be bent or totally flat
How do you know what side to put the rear tire is there a difference
yes, there is differences.
My tire is coming off the rim...Please help!! 😩

Does it come with tool's
yes, of course
Ours did not include tools

They are installing chains on the main frame incorrectly in the factory making you take the chain apart to untangle. Terrible quality

The instructions are out of date with both the manual and video. Thanks for making my wife waste hundreds of dollars on this.

Why in gods name would they wrap the chain around the frame. What is going on in that mindless factory
Really? Mine came in a separate zip lock package very well secured away from the frame.
Same here. Also 2 pieces with no id laying loose in box. Can't find anyone nearby for assistance.
Yeah. Video too fast and that chain doesn’t assemble that easy
This video is as unhelpful as the manual, which doesn't even accurately depict the parts in the drawings. I'm regretting buying from Viribus.
Great video, if you know what you are doing from the start
Most useless video ever
