Viking tricycle
By Framptonian
This is a great purchase for adults that are a bit 'wobbly' when using two wheels, as it is very stable - and you can pause for a while without falling off !! The bike is well made and sturdy and arrives almost fully assembled - the work to complete is really quite minimal.First time riders will have to remember that the bike is quite wide, so you have to double check gaps before trying to slip through - and also beware when trying to pull up next to a kerb. The 'handbrakes' on the front and rear brake levers are useful (and important) for when you leave the bike on an incline.Two things to be aware of are: First, the folding attribute doesn't actually save you much room, and even when folded it is still a big item. And second, only one of the rear wheels is actually driven by the pedals (the other one free-wheels). These are just comments and not niggles, so don't read too much into them.All in all, it's a great trike and it should last us many many years, and we are very pleased with the purchase.

By B. V. Osborne
Even though we are Pensioners we wanted to join in the craze for cycling.We had done quite a bit of cycling in the olden days but after having had a knee replacement I was too frightened of doing harm to the knee I had had replaced last year and the knee I am due to have replaced this year.So,I bought the trike mainly due to the fact that I was frightened of having to put a leg down and doing untold damage to my knees.The result is brilliant!Not only is it wonderful to be getting out and about again but an added bonus is the amount of people who have admired my trike and stop to talk. More talking, less cycling, but more friends.Folds up and goes in the car too with my husbands bike on the rack behind.Big basket takes coats, picnic bag and all the essentials of protection from the summer weather!

By Alexandra Coates
I bought it because it looks nice and will not tip over like a bicycle. it is fast popular and easy to do shopping with. you can even give people rides in the basket and still go a long way quickly.if you use it remember the following things: don't lean, dont turn sharply at higher speeds, if you are on slanted ground it will slant too.but other than those thing it is a fantastic value for money and has nearly paid for itself by replacing bus tickets.most people will say tricycles are for toddlers but this is a professional cargo/dilivery veihicle. in conclusion: I recommend this trike to everyone,have fun!
