Great once it is assembled and the bugs ironed out
In his post, Mike from Perth says everything I was going to! I politely emailed Trike Bike about their inadequate home made instructions/videos but received NO response. The trike is great but took quite a while to do despite me being a competent, mechanically minded DIY person. Ikea style instructions would be a god send!
Poor Quality
Poor Quality
Black Satin finish Trike Bike
Parts some damage. Bike doesn't sit square leans to one side
When brake leaver fully applied doesn't stop bike. Brakes not functioning properly
Poor quality tyres and tubes.
When the bikes arrived took them to a reputable bike shop for assembly and he pointed out the faults and poor quality. When he pumped up tyres one tube split apart and required better quality tyres and tubes to be fitted.
I have to say I won't be recommending Bike Trikes to my family or friends
Very poorly made and shoddy products and materials used
Purchased in August 2020 at Trike-Bikes Online Store for $1,695.00.
Nice Idea....but.....
If the trike came undamaged then I would be super happy. But it didn't. I only wrote this review due to the disappointing customer service, which for a bike that costs over half a ton, you expect better.
The trike came damaged (UNDER the protective wrapping), in many places. The packaging was not damaged or dented, nor was the protective wrapping, under which the damage was hiding.
There are paint chips right down to the bare metal in several places as if it had been poorly handled before or whilst packaging it. In my opinion, the trike has ...
Read morebeen assembled previously, and very carelessly disassembled. The derailleur has OBVIOUSLY smashed into the cross member and the seat post socket is scratched to buggery where it appears the locking bracket has been twisted off. One of the wheels was buckled and needed the spokes adjusted to straighten it. AND NO..... It wasn't over torqued! The seller assures me that they are packed in the factory and it has never been assembled before! If that is truly the case then three things. 1) That's not my problem. 2) I suggest the seller does then open the packages from the manufacturer and do some quality control. And 3) Not my problem Don't try to make it so! I believed that I had purchased a brand new, in the box, never used trike bike. As advertised. That is not what I received. Had I known the trike would be damaged like this, I would not have purchased it. Even at a discount!
Purchased in September 2020 at Trike-Bikes Online Store for $588.00.
Your trike was damaged in shipping, we put a claim in because we carry shipping insurance and it takes 3 to 4 weeks to get processed as we have told you about 50 times.

1. No. It was already damaged before it was packaged. (see other reviews including eBay!). It was not damaged by the couriers! Stop lying! (we have cctv to prove it!) the couriers, through experience ...

Unbelievable Trike
Price great, postage to NSW during covid within three days. Customer service brilliant.
Instructions on assembly great, but if your not familiar in putting bikes together I’d pay a bike shop just so you don’t damage your beautiful trike and it will get you in the road quicker. My husband was able to assemble it no problem.
Couldn’t be happier. Thanks heaps

Hello Joe, thank you very much for your review. It is greatly appreciated and I wish you many years of enjoyment
Chain coming off
just had my trikebike put together, by a local bike repair man I’ve used over the years for all my bikes. he has done abt 8 trike bikes and was working on one when I dropped mine off.
I took it out for a spin and chain came off. Managed to get it back on with help from passerby. Came off a second time.
Why and how to I prevent this from happening?

Purchased in August 2020 at Trike-Bikes Online Store for $480.00.
Hello Kerry, it is because the deralier has not been adjusted correctly. Your bike man probably has never set one up before and controlled the limits. It is extremely easy to do and we have multiple v...

The Schwinn Meridian trike is a nice bike except ...
I have this trike and as many others have said, it has a clunking noise in the rear assembly. Apparently it is a common problem with this trike. One person said it is the bearing but it could be the rear brakes. It's quite annoying. I'm going to take it to a repair shop to see if it is fixable. I will add that going over bumpy roads doesn't make for a comfortable ride.

Really loving my new Trike Bike
I’ve only had my Trike for a couple of weeks, but so far I’m really loving it. It took a few practice goes near home to get used to it, as it is a different feel to riding a normal bike. I purchased it so that my little dog & I can enjoy a daily ride together and it is working very well for this purpose.
The only drama that I’ve had with it was that the rear basket was damaged when the parcel was unpacked, but a quick email to Trike Bike had it all sorted easily & a replacement basket was sent straight away.
I’m very happy with both the trike & service that I’ve received with it & highly recommend them to anyone thinking of making a purchase.
Purchased in April 2020 at Trike-Bikes Online Store.
Hello Julie, thank you very much all your great review. I hope you enjoy spending time exercising with your dog. Many thanks Trike Bike
Love the Trike Bikes
I bought a second hand trike bike 3 years ago and its been great, I ride for 2-3 hours every second day and pop the 2 dogs in the back, I’ve put the grandchildren in the basket and they have a great time too, we also doing our shopping. Both my husband and I ride trikes bikes through the bush and have a great time, it gets us out and keeps us fit.
Purchased in March 2017 at Gum tree.
Thanks Judy for sharing your experience. Great to hear your having fun and staying fit.
never be left disappointed.
Bought a trike electric bike second hand of Gumtree about a year ago. Have been riding every fortnight carrying the dog and the baby having tons of fun. Could not be happier. Unfortunately just this last week I had an issue with the bike, would not be able to name what went wrong with it, all I can say is the amazing customer support Michael gave me. During the weekend even Sunday, he took time and replied all my emails, within minutes. On Monday 30 of December he asked me to come around to the shop and went over and beyond to help me and f...

Trike bike rear brakes
Started putting mine together but rear drum brakes is bent does anyone know where I can get parts for this as need new brake assembly
Would be great if someone could hook me up
Purchased in February 2019 for $400.00.

Read moreh brand you purchased then I would be happy to try and assist you by providing you with the seller's details (which you should already know) but none of our Trike Bike models have a rear drum brake so you are not talking about a genuine Trike Bike which is what this review site is for. Thank you Trike Bike
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.
Thanks for the 5 star review, its appreciated and please know if you have any questions during ownership dont hesitate to contact us for assistance. Thanks Trike Bike
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 moreing 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. Thank you Trike Bike

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!
Hello Tiana, this platform is for the Trike Bike brand and not other brands like Fraser which are no longer sold

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.Jenny, i am not sure you even have a genuine Trike Bike. Our rear disks are not welded as you as you state but bolted, some other models are welded. Please make sure you are talking about the correct ...
Read morebrand of trike because a bad review like yours really affects our ratings here and its not typical of our normal customer experience. If you dont have a genuine trike bike as i understand from your description then please remove your review.

Good quality ride it everyday
Bought the bike probly three months ago and love it. I bought the larger frame with baby seat and am able to take my two Pomeranians along with me no dramas.
I researched a lot about the different brands and found trike-bike to be the most helpful and cost effective.
Mike was quick to respond to any questions I had and the sass in his response to online questions is hellerious .
The lady who works the phone was the nicest receptions I've talked to in a long time and was more than helpful placing the order
The bike arrived quickly 3 days t...

Questions & Answers
I just bought a Schwinn 24" wheel One speed Meridian Adult Tricycle, I just tried to ride it and found the pedals will go back wards but wheels don't so if I need to back up I have to get off bike and do it by hand! Is this right or wasn't something put to gather right?
Do both rear wheels turn when peddling? I read the left rear wheel might just be a free spinning wheel.
Sorry not sure bike still being assembled in bike shop so I haven't even been able to ride it at this time
Hello Ray, with all tricycles on the market only one wheel drives and brakes on the rear. BMW spent €3 million in a research project trying to design a differential system for pedal tricycles and in the end they gave up because the requirement was for one third of a horsepower just to overcome the friction in the differential. An Olympian can only do this for about 20 seconds apparently so it was no use to help in any further for the recreational market. Their best design was based on magnets as the differential.
There are some trikes in the market with a solid rear axle with both wheels locked but this is a disaster because it means the tricycle can't go around because properly unless you lean and lift up one of the wheels. The tires will wear out in about 50 km and they are generally unstable to ride so that is why the majority of trikes have only one wheel on the rear which is locked and acts as the drive wheel and the braking wheel
Hi there,I’m after a schwinn meridian 26 inch wheel trike.is this a good choice?
I’m an active 40 year old male.
I just want it to go to the markets and carry some groceries yet strong enough that the wheels won’t buckle under a bit of bumpy road.the schwinn just looked pretty nice.
I don’t have any experience with trikes but have ridden bikes all my life.
Any help on where to get one in Sydney or something better would be much appreciated.
Thanks very much.
Anthony
Hi there Schwinn is made in Taiwan but I don't think there is any importer for them in Australia at the moment, there was about one year ago but nothing since that I am aware of.

Hello Peter, as I mentioned to you on several other review websites where you are leaving these comments. I am sorry that this has happened but you have never once contacted us for any assistance. We...
Read more actually have a Trike Bike specialist in Hervey Bay which is where you are located who assembles trike bikes for local customers. It is obvious that the assembly has not been completed correctly and you will notice that we have never received a complaint in 16 years from anybody who has ever had a tricycle put together by our business. The only complaints come from people who try to do the job correctly but can't because they don't have the skills and then they take the trike to a bike shop who is probably never seen a tricycle before. It is not appropriate to be leaving reviews as your first point of contact. If you had reached out to us firstly I would have recommended you to Bay Bike Finders who are assembling several trike bikes every month. They know what they're doing, they know how to assemble a tricycle and feedback from customers is they have done a great job.
