4 Best Adult Tricycles for 2020 – compares the features and looks at the pros and cons of four different adult tricycle models made by three different 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 for someone that has never learned to ride a bike. I hope in reading the post that it will make it easier to make a decision in 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 that is 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.
There is a comparison chart at the bottom of this post to give you an easy side-by-side look at the tricycles reviewed. Also if I have done an individual review on the trike a link it provided to that post.
