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 schwinn mountain bike 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. This tricycle comes with a canopy, a wide push handle for parents (it’s reasonably adjustable for caregivers of different heights), a wraparound tray and cupholder, and a storage bucket.
It took 40 minutes to build the Radio Flyer 4-in-1 Stroll ’N Trike; that was longer than it took to build many of the trikes we tested. The long build time is due to the fact that this trike has so many parts; this makes it versatile, but it’s also a pain. The tools needed—a Phillips head screwdriver, a hammer, and a wrench—are not included.
Install Rear Drive Sub-Frame
Loosen and remove the four bolts at the rear of the main frame. Slide the rear drive sub-frame over the main frame until the holes in both components are aligned. Verify the secondary chain sprockets are in alignment. Reinstall the four bolts from the inside of the frame.
The spokeless wheels move smoothly, and the rubber tires, though narrow, seem to glide easily. The wheels require no adjustments; no parts stick out, and nothing can get caught in them. This trike is the hardest to tip of any we tried, due to its weight and welded steel frame design. But we also found the MyRider Midi harder to stop when going fast downhill. 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.
We also like the slightly pricier yet more-durable INFANS Kids Tricycle. The Schwinn Roadster Tricycle is a stylish low-rider model for bigger kids. And the Angeles MyRider Midi is an upgrade that will likely outlast the rest. The deep schwinn bicycles solid mesh basket includes a removable fabric liner, and has plenty of room to hold cargo securely as you ride. Just keep it to cargo only back there though – the basket is not suitable for children, pets, or other passengers.
