4 Best Adult Tricycles for 2021 compares the features and looks at the pros and cons of four different adult tricycle models made by three manufacturers. An adult tricycle is a great option for someone who may not have the balance needed for a two-wheeled bike, maybe likes the added security the three wheels of a trike provides or someone who has never learned to ride a bike. I hope in reading the post that it will make it easier to decide on your purchasing of an adult tricycle.
Like a lot of bikes, the assembly can be difficult. If you’re not familiar with assembling items, it might be better to hire someone experienced.
In two previous posts, “Bicycles and Seniors – I Bet You Haven’t Forgotten How” and the “Best Exercise Equipment for Seniors,” there was mention of bicycles, and one of those options is the adult tricycle. If you haven’t read those two posts, you can click on them, and you will be taken to those articles.
A comparison chart at the bottom of this post gives you an easy side-by-side look at the tricycles reviewed. If I have done an individual review on the trike, a link is provided to that post.
