    This review was AWESOME because you gave me the courage that I need to buy a trike. I would have loved for you to show us examples on the turns, the stopping power of the bike, just a demonstration of how much better it is for those of us who has balance issues and etc. I really wanted to see how fast the trike goes as well.

    I recently bought one of your tricycles and I love it. Pedaling is definitely a bit more challenging but cruising around the block is perfect. Also, they are very cute and head turners.

      @VizslaVie 4 роки тому +2

      Does yours have pedal assist? I’m considering their trike because it allows you to sit if you need to rest and sit and not worry about balance issues. But then if it’s that much harder to pedal than a bike then I’m not sure it’s the best idea

  • @KawiLover250
    @KawiLover250 3 роки тому +10

    Because of knee injuries I haven't ridden a regular bike for several years. Got my trike, took it around the block, didn't think I was going that fast or that the turn was very sharp (my 9 year old could outpace me on her razor.) BUT when I tell you I lost control and was almost hit by a car, I am not exaggerating. This video talks a little bit about turning but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE be safe and go to an empty parking lot or somewhere safe to practice turning. I nearly died in front of my kid! All I wanted was to be able to do be outside with her more despite my injuries. I wish I knew more about this issue before purchasing a trike.
    Just in case anyone is wondering, it was not a threesixzero trike but as he says it is an issue with ALL trikes.

    I have been researching and thinking about a tricycle for a long time. Tonight, my research has kinda confused me. My local bike store has a Sun Tricycle I test drove and to get what I would want, a 7 speed and new it will most likely cost close to $1000.00. I just watched the video BEST ADULT TRICYCLES 2022/23. I also saw one on Craigslist which was one of the top ones a Schwinn Meridian for $65 and is newISH. Anyway, I appreciated your video, very good. I am going to check out your website, I never heard of 630 so, I am still researching. I live in Pinellas County FL and we have railways which were turned into bike trails, I have been riding for over 20 years. I am 70 on my birthday and now at 183 pounds, still got 20 pounds to lose, but I am thinking about getting off my 2 wheel bike for a trike. So, maybe TMI; but just wanted to thank you. I am 5'8"

    Having the outside wheel unweight and "pop" up off the ground during a turn should not be a issue. In fact, that will actually help the bike navigate through the turn.

    Good video, but one thing to mention. Do not ride a trike ACROSS a hill, as in my opinion that's the easiest way to tip a trike over. I know that because it happened to me and I landed up with a couple of cracked ribs. You really to need to remember that most trikes cant 'lean' like a bike. !!

  • @LLewis-vu9qf
    @LLewis-vu9qf 3 роки тому +5

    I just purchased my first adult tricycle after 40+ years of bicycle riding. I lost my ability to balance, developed a drop foot (left) and became unable to lift my right leg up very high. My bicycle riding days were over.
    I got a trike from a local bike shop. They assembled it for me and then delivered it two days ago. The step thru was low enough for me to get on the trike by stepping on the low point of the frame. I wondered if it were possible to step on the left pedal and get on that way -- similar to mounting a horse. I noticed in the video you demonstrated that same technique. The pedals on my trike are basic, inexpensive plastic pedals; not sure they would hold up. Would you recommend switching the cheap pedals for some which are sturdier?
    But in any event, I really enjoy being able to get around my immediate neighborhood more speedily than using a rollator (4 wheel walker). 🙄

    • @sixthreezero
      @sixthreezero  3 роки тому

      Thanks for watching. The pedals should be able to hold up even if they are plastic made. You may opt to switch to a more sturdier one if you are going to be more comfortable with it.

    Why do all the tricycles I'm seeing have the handlebars up high like that? I don't have the strength in my arm to keep them up high like that. It's a trike, not a bike, so I would think that a higher handlebar wouldn't be as essential for good steering control.

    Hi from down under. I have mostly ridden road bikes up till about 60yo. I'm now 69yo. I bought a trike and find it more scary than the 2 Wheeler. Example. My drive, though paved is not level but dips to allow water drainage. I can't control the trike when each side wheel isn't level. How do I master this as some foot paths are like this. Thank you.

    How do you transport it? Is there a bike rack for tricycles? Thank you.

      You may want to consider a roof rack or a hitch-mounted racks that are designed to carry a trike, such as the Alpaca rack, which can carry two tadpole-style trikes.

    You're wrong to say that on a bicycle you need to get your feet on the ground while seated. You can get.your butt off the seat and straddle the frame. Come on, man...

    Why would anyone need this much tutelage for riding a tricycle. Get on it and ride it.
