"Foldable Trike"

For a 20 in wheel trike this item is very versatile. Easy to put together, Large cargo compartment, Modern caliper breking system all work well. 20 in wheels are an advantage- makes storage and maneuverablity easy. Adjustable seat makes for easy sizing for an adult. Unique fold feature makes it fit well in tight spaces. Excellent value at great price. My wife loves it. By the way it gets a million miles to the gallon. 5 stars

"I'm a kid again!"

I'm an overweight adult looking to get into shape without killing myself in the process. I ordered this bike after doing a significant amount of web searching. Is it ever fun to ride! Now I look forward to coming home from work so I can hop on the bike and cruise around the neighborhood. I'm getting exercise, having fun and my dog comes along, too. Since this bike has no gears, I'm not flying down the road so the dog keeps up with me easily. The only improvement I can wish for is a three-speed. That would make hills a lot more do-able but hey, the idea is to get in shape. The breaks work great and the basket is really roomy. I can ride down to the grocery store in my neighborhood and come home with three sacks of stuff, no prob. So this thing's saving me gas money, getting my heart and knees strong, letting me feel the wind in my face and giving the dog a good walk all in one. A very good investment. My husband had it assembled in no time and it feels sturdy. Looks good, too. Many friends and neighbors have expressed bike envy. I tell them, "Hey, it's still on sale at Amazon.com!" 4 stars

"westport 3-wheel bike"

I, purchased this bike for my developmental delayed child, who needs training wheels to ride a bike and she is now too big for the wheels to fit on her bike. this was hard with summer coming so i decided to get her a 3 wheeled bike and she loves it! i researched different brands and prices online, so i was really pleased with the reasonable price of this particular bike. I will admit i would have perferred a choice in colors and the westport was not my original choice, i wanted a schwinn mainly because i have always purchased those bikes for my children, but i do have to say that i like the fact that the westport stores better and is more compact and since the wheels are only 20 inches verses 26 inches i wont need to special order any wheels or parts if i ever need replacements, i can just run to a department or bike store. my daughter loves the basket because she can but her dolls and her cat in it and ride up and down the block, I also was able to purchase, very cheap, side mirrors that go on the handle bars, sort of like bike streamers, so that she can see if anyone is behind her while riding, she does not ride on the street road but for those that do they could be handy. we also attached a horn so as with any bike yo can personalize it. i would highly recommend this bike for not only adults but for any older child that cant ride a regular bike . 5 stars

"A great alternative to rising gas prices!"

I have difficulty riding a bike because I can't seem to keep my balance. This seemed like the perfect alternative. I bought this primarily to get some exercise, but with gas prices rocketing towards $5 a gallon, it's had the added bonus of being very practical for shopping as well.

The big basket is just right for toting groceries and library books. And once you get used to riding it, you can go anywhere a bike goes - it's very versatile!

When you receive it, it's "partially assembled" and that means there are some parts that have to be put together, nuts and bolts and wrenches and all that stuff. If you're not handy, you can take it to a bike shop and they'll put it together for you (for a fee, of course!). My husband put it together for me, and had to make a few adjustments after my first ride, but once those were done it worked perfectly! I have no complaints and would recommend this to anyone who (a) doesn't feel comfortable on a bike and (b) wants to save money on gas! 5 stars

"Tough Assembly"

The trike is small but good. The biggest problem is poor fit on some things. The most striking is the lock that holds together the trike where if folds. The may be due to a too thick coat of paint that kept the joint in the middle from closing. The trike does not have a rear hand or coaster brake. It does not have rear fenders and the rider's leg is able to hit the rear wheel. 2 stars
