More than impressed
Delivery to outskirts of rural township was extremely quick. My 26" Electric Trike-bike from Brisbane was well packed. Only thing missing was instructions for the electric trike but instructions for construction for normal trike was in box, it helped but needed more info, a phone call and all sorted, easy.

well you get what you pay for
45 minutes to assemble it took me three days, and then at a bike shop to check over., cost me $120 the front brake assembly to fit the mudguard had to be replaced and also the rear brake line was frayed. Told by the bike guy at local , it was rubbish. .. as the bike shops do. Their all rubbish all brands other their own. don't believe them .BUT they all come the same place china (not a problem) I have no problems with trike bikes, they are ok.so go and buy one.Harry south coast nsw xx get someone to assemble it. good on you.

Hello Harry, thank you for your review. I'm disappointed to hear you had difficulty assembling and this is why we try to make it easy for you with good instructions, lots of videos on our website show... Read more
ing different subsections as well. We are always just a telephone call away should you need any help or assistance. I have never heard of a front brake assembly needing to be replaced and a whole front brake caliper is only $22 complete. All of the rear brake cables are actually heat welded on the end and this seals the cup to stop them from ever fraying so it must be somebody cut the brake cable at some time and this caused it to fray. I agree with your comments about many bike shops saying that trikes are rubbish, this is mainly because they have no experience with them but the shops that to sell our Trike Bike absolutely love them so it is hard to get truly accurate feedback in the market. We always recommend if you have limited mechanical ability, you can't bend down or your hands don't work the way they used to or your eyesight is failing then you must get it assembled by a bicycle mechanic to avoid three days of frustration like you did. Again, we are only at the end of the telephone should you have problems or questions so if something doesn't make sense to you then please call and ask for workshop and one of our mechanics will be happy to guide you through any problems that you have.

Happy with purchase
I'm really happy with the Fraser trike. Delivery was within a week, as I'm not 'handy person', I had it assembled by a bike workshop and so far I've had no problems, great for shopping trips, my little terrier happily sits in front basket. It's a taken a few trips to get used to having 3 wheels and therefore remembering the back is wider but overall fun to ride!

Beware - this is not a quality product.
Bought this bike around a year ago. First ride and a rear tyre punctured, Second ride and the other rear tyre punctured. We took it to a bike shop and they said the tyres were rubbish. The rear disc is bent (from new), makes a clunking noise on every revolution and can't be replaced - it's a welded item, not bolted. The bike came with an electrical cable unattached - a cable that goes into the braking system on the handle bars, assumedly to cut out the motor when braking. I sent an e-mail about the cable to the shop owner at trike-bike.com...Read more
.au and never received a reply. The bike hasn't been used much throughout the year and now the motor won't go - battery shows it's fully charged, but the motor just won't go. Perhaps it's a case that you get what you pay for - there are a lot of more expensive electric trikes out there. But, in retrospect, I'd have paid more money and purchased a quality electric trike.1 comment

If you dont have a genuine trike bike as i understand from your description then please remove your review.

I researched a lot about the different brands and found trike-bike to be the most helpful and cost effective.

Only lasted 12 months :-(
I thought it was amazing for the first 12 months but it's been nothing but problems since. The crank now completely falls apart on a weekly basis & I'm lucky I have a patient & helpful neighbour who is a qualified bike mechanic & fixes it each time for me as I don't have a car & with a disability it's the only transport I have to get my daughter to daycare each day. I'd also have no way of getting the bike to a bike shop for constant repairs nor would I have the funds to continuously have to keep getting it repaired. It was only fixed 3 days ag...Read more
o & it's already fallen apart again. I bought the bike 2 years ago but wasn't able to start riding it until 12 months ago. I ride it for 15min in the morning & 15min in the afternoon which is not excessive use, so I expected it to last a lot longer than 12 months before having continuous problems.1 comment

g which when assembled correctly will last a lifetime of the bike so I have no idea or understanding why you are getting it repaired but it is full apart again. I think you had better get the bike shop to call me and also offer some photographs so we can identify the problem which is causing continuous failures. If you have a single piece crank which I suspect you may have then you are not talking about our product because we have a three piece crank system which is made up of a sealed bottom bracket and to crank arms. As mentioned these are pretty much lifetime of the bike installations and can't fall apart but a simple photograph will help us identify the brand of trike and what the problem could be.

Bike is great, instructions need much improvement
The web-site tries (but fails) to properly handle the need to phone for a delivery quote if you are not in QLD, it's too easy to get all the way through ordering, only to find you're not paid the right amount for delivery. From a usability perspective, Trike-Bike need to redesign the shopping cart to make this process more obvious.
Let's also ignore the fact that TNT managed to split the two packages up and delivered one a day late and the other two days late! Incompetent twits.
The first point is that the packing is not adequate - bubb...Read more
le wrap is ok until the bubbles burst then it's no better than cellophane, the points of contact between parts should use cardboard to separate and protect them. We ended up with four not insignificant scratches which I feel would have been avoided with the judicious use of cardboard fillers. It would also be nice if they could identify a suitable matching car paint for each colour so that the user could do decent matching touch-ups. Next, as noted by other reviewers, the instructions are also inadequate. There is no parts list down to the level of the nuts and bolts - including to-scale of nuts and bolts, etc - making identifying which to use when a little difficult. I disagree with Trike Bike's comment that the instructions are getting too large - have you see a Lego instruction guide these days, or an IKEA one? The instructions should show a close up exploded diagrams of each and every fixture so there is no room for error. I found it necessary to watch bits of the video just to identify some parts. The photo's are often too small, with insufficient details and skip some of the important parts. The video and the instructions assemble the bike differently - the instructions say they take precedence yet also keep pointing to the website and the video - make up your mind!!! This made finding the corresponding part in the video a lucky dip - videos can have embedded bookmarks added guys! Also there are some parts of the instructions which contradict the video (but the video was correct on at least one occasion). I write software for a living and the system instructions have to leave no room for error, you CANNOT have too much detail in the instructions, learn from IKEA. Once assembled there were also a few aspects of the brake/gear adjustments which were again poorly detailed.1 comment

I have had my trike for over 12 months. Its amazing, I have poor balance and often fall off two wheelers, so this has given me freedom and safety. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to get out there get fit or just have some fun. The only downside was I mistakenly assembled it inside the house.... HMMMMMM then couldn't get it out...a lesson learned.

homes have a standard door size which will allow the trike to pass through without any difficulty. Older houses that were built before Australian standards were introduced or home units can have much smaller doors which you need to be careful about.

Perfect for shopping
Everthing I could want climbs hills with ease. Easy to handle love the seat with the back rest. Very comfortable to ride able to harness my dog in the rear basket. Purchased a rear mirror for right handle bar. Also added a rear flashing tail light. I am 57 and the envy at the local shops.

Great for me.
Absolutely the best for me. a little difficult to get used to at first due to the road camber.
But when most of us old farts were around 3 years old we rode trikes.
You just have to be a bit cautious at first.
Easy to assemble fr anyone with a mechanical aptitude.
I did a couple of modifications on the seat tube and clamp.

Trike stability
Trikes are stable if you ride on level ground. However if you ride across a slope they can suddenly tip over and throw you off fairly violently> This happened to me and I cracked my head on a concrete kerb. Luckily I had my crash helmet on or I could have ended up in hospital.

ing on level ground without a slope. This will allow you to build up confidence and techniques to allow you to write a trike safely in all conditions. It is a bit like learning to swim, you start at the shallow end for safety rather than dive in the deep end and struggle. Many thanks MichaelSimilar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!

wn want one. It does take a bit of practice before one feels confident but its well worth the effort. Just slow down for corners and watch out for kerbs potholes and steep cambered roads. What's wrong with some people. are we so 'dumbed down ' that we can't even assemble a bike . it's not brain surgery for christs sake. The brake are not the best, especially going down hills. Make sure the rim on the front and the rear disk is clean and free of oily residue ie overspray from rp7 or crc ..also sand paper the shiny gloss that occurs on the front brake blocks. The bottom bracket bearing ie crank needs adjustment after a few months running . We have had it for two years now and have had no problems that a bit of common sense can't fix Geoff B1 comment

Think twice about trike.
So after doing a fair bit of research to purchase a 3 wheeled bike for my autistic daughter i finally settled on the foldable 20inch Trike bike. Website looked good, bikes looked good and most of all dont cost $800 like other brands.
Now i know why, delivery tine was very good. But after opening the box it was down hill from there, the assembly video and written instructions dont match, the written instructions dont cover all steps and there is no direction on what nut & bolt to use at each stage, so it was a guessing game for me also any ch...Read more

This is why the sequence is different, there are a few tips and tricks to help you and we are always available by telephone or email to assist you during the assembly process. All of the information regarding the nuts and bolts and where to use them is clearly listed on our website which you should refer to also because it has additional instructions which we physically can't fit into the written assembly guide because it is already at 14 pages.

please contact me for details but it sounds like you have lost the little key which goes in the keyway. The rear disc brake is held into position by a key, this is a small piece of metal 4 mm x 4 mm x... Read more
12 mm long. This piece of metal slides into a slot machine into the main drive axle and it has a matching part on the collar where the disc brake mounts to. You need to align both of these slots up together, then slide the key into the keyway and that will line up with both slots and then everything is held in place with the screw that has the Allen key head. The screw just stops everything from going sideways but it is the key and the keyway that stops the rotation. If you don't have the key imposition than tightening up the grub screw will not work. Please do not weld it in place for a couple of reasons, firstly you will destroy the hardening on the main rear axle shaft, you will never ever be able to remove it without cutting everything apart and this needs to be removed occasionally for maintenance and it is simply not the right way to assemble a trike. You must have the keyway lined up and the key in position otherwise you are wasting all of your efforts. Please contact us directly and I can send you the service documents with photos to show you what needs to be done. The key is supplied in position when the bike is delivered but you may not have tightened the bolt with the Allen head screw correctly and it has since fallen out ? Hello Aaron, I am just reading your email again and something does not make sense. The 20 inch trike bike does not have a disc brake, the 20 inch trike bike has a drum brake ?Similar opinion?

n recommend changing things that are not required. We recently added a new video to our website which takes you step-by-step through adjusting the gears correctly, since we have done that there has been no problems. Also, good news, I have made the manufacturer return to the old style chain guard which is both very easy to fit and never has any issues where if it is incorrectly fitted it can sometimes rub on the chain. I really don't understand why you had delayed communications. We are normally very very good on answering questions and even do so in the evenings and even on weekends. We always, always, always recommend that the trike is assembled professionally. And by this I mean a proper bike shop not a toy store where there is a 16-year-old out the back putting things together. Having said this however I am guessing more than 90% of our customers assemble the trike themselves and find it a very rewarding process when they get out and about and get enjoyment from something they have put together. Assembly however is not for everybody and we encourage customers to take their time, contact us before they contact any other bike shop because we know our product better than anybody and if you think assembling something like this is beyond your skills, abilities or you don't have the necessary tools then please don't try, just get it assembled properly.

Electrics can be fitted after purchase
Hi everyone I had my electrics fitted after I brought my bike so that isn't a problem and helps on long rides when your legs get tired or there's a bit of a incline you simply just hold on the start button keep it down while peddling till slow mode lights up then remove finger of switch, I have not used medium or fast as slow mode is enough power for me . Yes the cost was expensive but you've got live once and a while instead sitting around the house.

it took me about 30 minutes to get used to riding again after so many years, felt funny at first but got the hang of it.

Instructions were good, video was better, no missing parts, took about 2 hours from start to finish, had small trouble with gears clicking but got the instructions how to fix from the seller and all good.

Questions & Answers
Michael M.asked
Hi I have a question I have a adult tricycle that has a limited slip differential on the rear axle that has a sprocket bolted to it and my question is if I put a motor on the back of my tricycle and run a chain from my motor to the limited slip differential sprocket that's on the outside of the differential housing will that work to drive the bike?
1 answer
Michael C.Trike-Bike
It probably wont work, if you have a diff, and i am not aware of any in the Australian market, they are designed to work with the power from a "human output" a motor has way more power and will probably overpower the whole system and just destroy it. What brand of trike and what brand of diff is it and i can find out ?

Hello Diana, this is for the Australian sold Trike Bike brand only. The trike you are talking about is only in US and available through Sears. I would be going back to them for product support or alternatively you can contact me directly off the review website, send some photos and I will see what I can do. Many thanks Michael
Steve Mitchellasked
I bought what appears to be a vintage tricycle (swapmeet) and it has 2 gears connected by one independent chain on the hub side? Looks like some kind of differential axle which the main chain goes to? It has no braking or linkages what so ever? The front emblem appears to look like a “wheel within a wheel” almost looks like a molecular symbol? Any ideas on what I have? Thanks
Sincerely
