The huffy cruiser bike Tricycle for adults makes an excellent commuter bike with its large cargo basket. Haul everything you need with this easy-to-ride, 3-wheeled adult trike with cargo basket. The Schwinn Meridian Adult Tricycle teeters back and forth when it comes to value.
All of this helps give the Meridian a stable, fluid ride and helps to prevent wear and tear from the weather or water that gets on the bike while ride. This single speed adult trike is extremely easy to maintain and perfect for cruising along at your own pace in relatively flat areas. It has a large, foldable basket that’s great for carrying bags of groceries or hauling anything else you might need. You can choose from a wide range of colors, including red, black cherry and periwinkle blue. It’s available in a choice of 24- or 26-inch wheel sizes, which is great for riders of all heights.
The disadvantage is that you don’t have the option to change gears. If you’re on flat, paved ground this is not a big deal. However, if you’re riding in a really hilly area, or plan to take your tricycle on grass or gravel, we’d recommend something with gears. In particular, the Barbella 7-speed might be a good option for hills, and the Vanell Mountain trike is a good choice if you’re on unpaved or rough terrain. What Schwinn Meridian Adult Tricycle has is brand recognition. If you were looking to lessen your carbon footprint and have the tools for assembly, you’ll want something reliable.
Some customers said they exceeded the weight limit for their Schwinn Meridian with no problems. One reviewer who purchased the tricycle for his weight loss journey was pleased to find that the tires held up for him at 400 lbs. Both models of the Schwinn Meridian have a low sweeping step-thru frame. Riders who struggle with balance can easily step on and off the tricycle.
Second, there is an adjustment period to riding a tricycle. There are some habits you might have from bike riding that don’t really translate to trike riding. Riding a bicycle you typically put your foot down on the ground before you actually come to a complete stop (so you don’t fall over). With a trike, this doesn’t work since the rear wheels will run into your foot.
This eye-catching bright red tricycle has three speeds, so it’s perfect for riding in slightly hilly areas where you’ll be tackling some inclines but nothing too sharp or extensive. The basket has a solid base and a liner, which makes it great for carrying all kinds of items without worrying about them falling out. The lightweight aluminum frame means you don’t have to put in too much effort to move your trike around, while the extra-wide and luxuriously padded seat is the height of comfort. It’s only available in a 26 inch wheel size, so it isn’t ideal for anyone under 5 foot 4. Tricycles are great for adults who either can’t ride standard bicycles or don’t feel all that comfortable riding them on the roads or out in public. With an adult tricycle, you can confidently enjoy bike rides with your family or friends or use your trike for commuting or running errands.
