My first time on adult trike was not fun. It felt like I was sucked sideways off the road and down an embankment. Two cracked ribs, torn shoulder, broken hip. Yes, I am old. Months later I was very afraid to try again but this video and others helped me do it again. This time I did not know it all and now can ride for fun. All the negative about this video I do not understand, it gave me the courage to face my fear and win.

With a trike yyou have to steer all the time to overcome the camber of the road surface which pushes you towards the edge of the road. For an experienced cyclist this feels un-natural, and has to be learnt.
the praplom with changing bikes is to make you’re brain forget about balanc
Wow, I thought this video was a joke until I read your comment and the responses that followed. Thanks for sharing.
You have to be so careful on a trike slow down on bends . Your handlebars are the main focus not like a two wheel bike . Their great fun tho
These comments are crazy to me. I was going to get my wife a trike and send her on her way. I never realized how there was such a learning curve even for what appears to be the simplest thing.
Don’t underestimate the difference, especially when you’re used to riding a 2wheel-bike. If you’re not, you will have no problem.
Not only for the handicapped. It’s also and especially ideal for seniors : When people riding bikes get older they often experience more fear of falling that leads to being uncertain on the “normal” bike. The tricycle is the next step to be able continuing riding and excercise outside (physical and social wellbeing) for the seniors + preventing accidents and broken hips for instance.
Everyone who is familiar with riding the 2wheelbike, will experience the unnatural feeling that the tricycle gives at first. Because on the tricycle you have to let go the balancing you were used to do automatically. And for older people who used to balance the bike their whole life, it’s heavier to let go and trust the fact that you cannot fall than it is for younger people. So if you never ride a 2wheelbike, you will have no problem to adjust because you have not learned to balance.
Anyone can ride it though with some help at first to go as slow as you can, keep looking forward where you want to go and keep your feet on the pedals. Pull on the brakes after every few pedal strokes, stop, put the steering wheel in the right position, look forward and continue slowly, pull the breaks again and so on. Take a pause every 10 minutes or so because the unnatural feeling is tiring. Each time you climb back on the saddle, you will feel the improvement. No wonder that the number of Dutch seniors choosing a tricycle grows by the day. Freedom !
If anyone wants to get help in getting used to the tricycle, you can turn to the Dutch Fietsersbond and ask for instructions.
You made me feel better. I have ridden a regular bike all my life up until about 15 years ago. I just bought a new trike, and it's been a real eye-opener. I kept steering toward the edge of the road for some reason, and in making a turn into an alley I didn't quite make it, ending in the grass. I thought I was losing my mind. I was not feeling stable on it, and the steering felt too loose. The tendency for the bike to go to the edge of the road meant a constant battle to fight it. So much of the ride was "wobbly." I felt defeated, and didn't know what in the world was wrong. I thought there was something wrong with me. But I had to get one of the wheels tightened, so the bike shop came and did that, and talked to me about how bike riders have the most trouble adjusting to a trike. They told me to practice, and that I would get used to the feel of it and other tips. Your description seemed to be written just for me!!
Thirty years ago I had a season racing a tandem tricycle, having previously raced on both solo and tandem bikes. What you have to learn is that the trike has to be steered. Unlike riding a bicycle you cannot lean the trike around a corner. Not only do you have to steer around corners, but you have to steer all the time as the camber of the road pushes you out towards the edge of the road. When you corner a bike you generally have your outside foot down to maintain balance, on a trike you must have your inside foot down in order to keep the inside wheel from lifting off the road. If you have single wheel drive lifting a wheel off the road can be disasterous. When racing a trike it is common to have to hang off the handlebars (much like when sailing) in order to keep the trike upright whilst cornering at speed. As a general rule, if you don't burn a hole in your skinshorts you probably were not trying hard enough.
My wife had exactly this problem on the first try. Also ran into a parked car. So we will try this video to help her get the hang of it. I was able to ride it right away for some reason.
I got the Schwinn Meridian about 5 years ago. My husband took me there in the car, we saw the trike and I bought it. We were not far from home so I figured I would ride it home. It had been years since I was on bike, and more years than that since I was on a trike. He got in the car and took off, leaving me and the trike to make it home by ourselves. It was tricky at first, but I got it. I usually tell people that if you can ride a bike and drive a car, you can work a trike.
Do you like the Schwinn? Would you buy another?
@@halvey123 I would. I got the Walmart version and it was killed by a truck two weeks ago.
I can't ride a bike or drive a car but I wanna get a trike
Very good instructions.
However, I never say practice makes perfect. Practice makes permanent. I prefer to say, try until get it right and then practice until you don't get it wrong.
Luego de una aparatosa caída de una bicicleta en mi niñez, cuando me estaban enseñando, nunca más volví a subirme a una bicicleta... es por eso que al mis 60 años, cuando me subí a un triciclo me fue muy fácil aprender a manejarla... claro que, por una imprudencia mía al intentar subirme a la vereda por la rampa estrecha, estando casi paralela a la vereda el desequilibro de las llantas traseras provocaron que el triciclo se vuelque... felizmente solo recibí un golpe en la rodilla sin más consecuencia que dos semanas de dolor muscular y un ligero golpe con el timón a la altura de la clavícula. Pero no dejé que me ocurra lo mismo de hace 50 años atrás y venciendo mi miedo volví a subir y seguí manejando. Ahora disfruto enormemente mis paseos en mi triciclo... solo que aún tengo problemas con las calles muy transitadas por autos... Viendo este video entiendo por qué tanto mi hijo como una amiga me mencionaron que les es difícil controlarla.
I am 38 and want one of these!!!
I'm 22 I have one! They're great little things, I'm not sure about road riding though I only do that sometimes.
@@nightingale0177 Adult tricycles are cool, but trust me riding a normal bike is scary and seems impossible at first, but once you learn to relax and balance it's so easy, you barely have to worry about falling it's crazy
I’m looking at trikes again. Bought one a couple of years ago and couldn’t get the hang of it. This video is helpful. I’ve been looking for the 2 wheels in front but mostly they are recumbent which I don’t want- plus I need either a big basket or a pet trailer for my 30 pound pug. He’s on a diet of sorts. Lol.
Left mine on my mother's home when I moved out, years ago. Also planning on buying one, but my flat doesn't have a garage slot, so it would be tricky to park safely.
An avid 2 wheeler, I wanted something to tow the dog in. Just got a trike today and the dog loved it.. but it took a while to feel safe. Like you say, I need to practice turns. I was able to make wide turns but it didn't feel safe.. yet. Thanks for the tips.
Tried mine for the first time today and I didn't feel safe either. I need to practice, especially the turns and riding on the street, where the side of the road wants to eat me alive.
I put a bit of pressure to right handlebar as just a press of a blunt push as it steers LEFT as vice versa on pressing palm on left handlebar to turn RIGHT. Its not a steering motion of your hands swiveling but a force of pressure at handlebar grip ends. The range of the steering is only 4 inches both sides as it is a boxed in turning. ALWAYS SLOW DOWN TO 2 TO 3 MPH on every turn, NEVER go too fast and brake too late as it will cause instability moment of possible crash. Also when Trike is turning with a bit of speed but not over 5 mph, lean body towards opposite ends of turning. The feel of Trikes is the same as a Stage Coach, exactly the same but with a motor wheel instead of the Horse ahead of you. Cant not ride over 20 ot 25 mph on rough bumpy roads, can damage too if not easing and pausing speed. I converted my Vevor MTB trike into a E Trike 1200 Watt, but the high watt is to carry heavy cargo over speed. Its not meant to ride over 25mph , even at 20mph.
Am I the only one that would like to combine the traditional tryke with the T-bike? I think a quad bike would be cool -- and much more stable.
Love that idea. I think they have them already.
Best advice is go really slow until you get used to it and don't treat it like a two wheeler.
I didn't struggle with a trike but when I had large stabilizers fitted to my bike I just couldn't steer it.
My husband converted my ebike into a tricycle with 1 wheel in the front and 3 at the back I tried with two but I have no balances so he put two wheels slightly large on and it perfect I love going on when I can 😁👍
Thank you ! It's very difficult ! On the road It's not yet for me 😁
On streets the trike does tend to be unbalanced by the camber that diverts you to the right side, unless you're constantly minding it the best is to rely on cycle paths, specially designed for bikes and trikes.
how the 2 back side wheels
get to the front side
Great item to have and easy to maintain.
Delightful video. Acurate, concise and fun.
the first time I rode a tricycle I was too afraid to touch the pedals so I tried pushing myself and eventually got yeeted off and hurt both my knees and hands. I had 15 stitches and the doctor prescribed me pain killers for several months. I later sued the manufacture
I love the way my rear wheels (either right or left wheel) lifts of the ground when cornering. Just like a bike you must lean into the corner.
any guides in going up steep hills
For trikes I have been read in that electric motor helps with that
I purchased a trike 3 months ago and it feels like it pulls to the left...Is that something I am doing or could it be a problem with the trike...
The only trike I'd ride is a recumbent otherwise I would pick a two-wheeled bicycle over these tricycles that look like bicycles with three wheels I just recently bought one and I cracked up as soon as I got on it the first time I hit a curb and the tire in the front blew out second thing when I tried to make a sharp turn I tilted it over and fell so I figured I can't make no sharp turns with this kind of a bicycle so I started to make wider turns in the street and all the cars around me decided they didn't like that so they started honking their horns at me these tricycles are very, very dangerous I would not recommend them to anybody let alone seniors.
I'm 81 and was advised by my chiropractor to get a 3 wheeled trike for exercise due to walking problems associated with back problems. Every time i tried to ride it I fell off, mainly due o the camber of either the road or the path. I found it very hard to ride because the pedals were directly under me rather than slightly in front. I became terrified of the thing and when it was stolen from my front verandah, I was actually relieved. I got it back and sold it. I really feel that riding a bike/trike would be a health benefit but am too scared to try again. The trike was a good brand but I think it was poorly designed.
Good for commuting, no balancing means a relaxing cycling
yea it’s basically when u drive 2 wheels ur brain goes we r going kinda to the right brain to hand steer left we r to much to the left steer right to not fall there brain on a trike we r stable but how when we r moving steer left or right hand just to be safe the guy how do you drive this thing
i’m not good at driving 2 wheels so when i bought the trike it took me just 2 hours to get used to it
Can I add a motor to this bike? I have the double front wheel version.
Can an old had with one foot in the grave move on this?
you can probably ride it with one foot if it is strong enough
I bought a new adult trike 2 months ago from a bike store and he finally got it put to gether and when I ordered it he never told me it didn't have any gears to shift when going up an incline. I paid nearly 700.00 for it. It wants to head into the curb and there are cars parked along the curb that I don't want to hit ! I was so excited to ride it for the excise. But the first and only time I have ridden it I had 2 accidents on it. The first one was when I was going up a slight incline and couldn't quite make it all the way and the trike started wobbling and I guess I panicked and pulled on the hand brake too fast and the trike stopped suddenly and I was throw forward off of the seat and onto the street. I was hurt. But I got up and walked my trike to the top of the incline and got back on it and was doing ok until I was fixing to make a left turn onto another street to go home and a car came up behind me so I moved out of his way and the trike suddenly veered to the left and into the curb with such force that it actually hit the curb and over it throwing me completely off of the trike causing my knee to slam against the cement curb and injury it. I liked to never got myself back up. When I did, I walked the trike around the corner to the street to go home and managed to ride it home. But it's been sitting ever since because of my fear of it and my knee is still in a lot of pain from hitting the curb. I really want to ride my trike, but now I feel it's too dangerous.
Carol -- I understand exactly what you went thru. I too just purchased a trike. I did get one with seven gears though; they help. I'm an old lady who's used to riding bicycles. I was aware of the tendency for a trike to steer itself into a curb (or parked car) and I STILL had trouble with it. Just like you, I was turning around a corner but made the turn too close to the curb and ended up running into the curb. Thankfully I wasn't thrown off the trike as I was cautiously moving very slowly.
Riding slowly, steadily and being aware of the road structure all go a long way toward a safe, fun ride. Speed will come with practice if you want it to. So keep practicing with the trike; you'll get it. 👍
I agree with L. Lewis. Try again and build up your confidence on side streets.
Cars: they only take precedence on dual carriageways and motorways. Pedestrians have right of way ie: cars have to stop. Cyclists of all kinds have right of way after pedestrians ie: cars have to slow down and wait for a safe place to overtake.
It's also safer for cyclists to be a metre from the curb to avoid obstacles. Don't let cars bully you.
Which tricycle is this bro, which the lady is cruising
I have a Trik Now, am 31, the reason I didn't want to have by a Rack for my Two wheel bike plus its mostly with wife's bike really
What kind of trike is that with the foot rests?
Triciclo, el vehículo del futuro. Es barato de compra, barato de mantener, no paga impuestos, no gasta gasolina y por tanto no contamina, haces ejercicio y tomas el sol y el aire... Todo ventajas. Cómprate uno y disponte a disfrutar.
P.s.: No fabrico ni vendo triciclos.
Thank god I have to plans to buy a tricycle 🤣
It should be possible to correct the design of adult trikes so they are not "inherently" unstable. These simple hard frame designs can only be ridden safely at very slow speeds. Why do you think children graduate from tricycles to bicycles? So they can go fast enough to actually have useful transportation. Another failure of manufacturers I'd say.
I guess we are completely forgetting about the disabled. Or...they dont matter?
@@suspicious-channel That's is a ridiculous comment. No one is forgetting they need specially designed bikes.
My trike goes up to 15.5 mph and it's safe enough.
@@Howie47 Actually disabled people are often ignored. A good example is bike sheds. They're too small for anything that's not a classic two wheeler.
Most of tricycles are very very uncomfortable. It is why we see so few of them. Mine is really comfortable and I don't understand that nobody is interested in this machine. It is a pity. @
What kind do you have?
Laurent, as Mary asked, what kind of three wheeler do you have?
I have this tricycle that I have built mysel :

When you are on a bike you must bend over to turn; when you are on a tricycle you can't bend over, so your brain refuse to turn. If we had a wheel instead of a handlebar it would be easier
then don't look!
I have a trike 😃 never really rode a bicycle
Let's just hope that one day, the likes of @Ernie Lara, @Marshall Man and @Frank Shattuck realise that not everyone enjoys perfect health. Those who have just had a hip replacement and need exercise may be quite intimidated by riding a tricycle for fear of the consequences of even a small accident. Please consider.
truthseek. lt all depends on the person. A friend of mine had a hip replaced and two weeks after she got home she was on her bike. Granted she didn't ride very far...only 3 blocks down & back...but nobody was going to tell her not to ride. That was a couple years ago and now she rides 2-3 miles every day.l say that's pretty damn good for an 84yr old woman.!! Us old gals are tough.
Great response. I just got a trike after riding regular bikes due to back injury. They ARE different and a little scary at first because your instinct is to lean and that makes the trike pull to the side and you feel out of control. We all get old and people that make rude comments about others just make themselves look ignorant.
There are many trike riders who have neurological impairments that cause balance issues. Trikes allow us the freedom and the joy of riding again.

Thank u my 1st time riding it kept veering to the right lol
yea thats what happened to me til i understood its a left wheel drive
Your seats are too low your putting too pressure on your kneecaps your leg should be straight when the peddle is at the bottom
i liket tell the price thanks
i learned on my first try with an adult trike lol
WOW....i tried it on my mom's trike....i couldn't do it. I was going one side like the lady on the video...ouff...😂😂😂
I have a segway and would love to ride it everywhere but alas it is illegal except on private property. So I am now looking to buy a tricycle, and the ridiculous thing is that they would be far more dangerous on the roads than a segway.
No they're not any bicyclist that's on the road has a safety risk but if you get a electric bike is just as good as your Segway even better knowledge is power
Directions not clear, head stuck in spokes. Assistant stole my wallet

This video treats adults as though they are children that have never been taught to ride a bike. This is a great video if you want to be treated like an idiot. At 1:30 in the video it says "naturally t bikes are easier to remover"? WHAT!! Doesn't your computer voice know the word "maneuver"?
I just flipped over the handlebars of my brand new sun bike. There was a hole in the sidewalk & I fell right into the hole. Anybody want to buy a sun bike in Clearwater $400
If you did not have them so expensive oh expensive then you might sell a lot more
Man I don't know, looks hard... no helmet too must be a daredevil.
I'm a daredevil and I have an electric bike trike that is
I wonder if Freddy Mercury would ride it
Training wheels.
This video taught me nothing at all
those are two different trikes smh
Block farting airways.
ask a 4 year old
Is this the ultimate "Dumbing down" of Society ? >8^(
If you can't just jump on a tricycle & start riding then you are in terrible shape & it is probably best to leave it alone.
@Frank Shattuck - a typical misconception by people who didn't try a trike. It takes an adjustment after riding normal bikes. Upright torso, no leaning in turns, only hands are moving, like in a car. You lean, you flip. You go fast in curves, you flip.
TURN RIGHT, LEAN RIGHT..TURN LEFT, LEAN LEFT
