The media could not be loaded. Get outside and have fun! No excuses. Don’t know how to balance on a 2 wheeler? So what. Feel silly riding a big wheel as an adult? Get over yourself. This Razor product is like a time machine. I’m 6’0” , 220lbs , 50 and remain physically active, though I let myself go over the past 3 years. Didn’t matter at all. Riding on this with my wife was crazy fun. Loud as Hell on the pavement, but it didn’t matter to us since we were squealing even louder with delight. I was concerned about the weight limit and relied on the other reviewers who were 200lbs+. I don’t know that I would take this to a skate park and hit ramps with my extra weight (and stress on the frame), but I felt as solid on this trike as on my mountain bike. Zero tension noises from the frame. Zero wobble. The weld joints look excellent on both trikes that I bought. The ride position is as exactly as I remember on my big wheel and green machine, except my larger, too heavy frame does require that I hold myself up more. I can feel it in my hands, but the grip is plenty comfortable so I have no complaints. If you have absolutely no upper body strength and zero core strength, you might hate the riding position. But I don’t think anyone like that is buying this product. Don’t like people looking at you and passing judgment? Life’s too short to let strangers deprive you of fun because they might disapprove. Sit on one of these bada$$ trikes, and you’ll get plenty of stares. Also smiles. And thumbs up. And questions, LOTS of them. The build is simple. The design is brilliant. I was considering a drift trike that cost $425+ but it wasn’t in stock for two months. I kept looking and found this …. for $169. I was prepared to spend nearly $900 for two, so I saved nearly $600. Crazy! I knew it would be fun to ride this with my wife, and I wasn’t disappointed. We have an amazing time. In fact, our teenagers were jealous and begged to take them out after. As far as suggestions or expectations, I’d love to see an option to replace the rear wheels with rubber treads. I’d probably regret installing them because the plastic is just so loud, obnoxious and FUN, but it would make it easier to communicate with other riders and would be quiet enough to ride at night without waking neighbors. A quick release feature for the rear wheels, paired with a rubber tread option, would be 110% value added. I didn’t see it in the product description, but the trike comes with a long, bright yellow pendant flag for the back. Sitting so low to the ground, drivers might not see you. The bright flags are a great, safety idea. I didn’t install them, but intend to. [10 DAY UPDATE - REMOVED ONE STAR] PROBLEM 1: Riding for an hour and the pedal crank fell off. Seriously?! The bolt had come loose. This is not a bolt that is part of the installation process but should be. You would be well served to tighten the bolt, even apply some thread lock, before you ride. Minus one star. PROBLEM 2: I tightened the heck out of the seat bolts, but 3 of the 4 rattled loose and fell out. The result is a loose, shifting seat which is very annoying (and potentially dangerous). The solution poses a catch-22. You can apply thread lock to keep the bolts from rattling loose, but then you won't be able to easily adjust the seat for another rider. This wouldn't be such a problem if there wasn't so much shaking and rattling, but that's what you get with (fun) plastic rear wheels. HEY MANUFACTURER, can you please send me replacement seat bolts? I would remove a half star for this, but there's no option for it. PROBLEM 3: Not so much a problem, but a reminder to check your brakes. Adjust them and tighten them. The pads can be raised or lowered to come into maximum contact with the rim. Adjust them, then tighten the hex bolts so the brake pad stays in place. I found that after riding for a couple of days, the brake pads shifted and stopping became foot-powered. I consider this to be part of basic maintenance for any bike or vehicle, so I'm not bothered by this.
