The only issue I noticed they are facing is the seat issue. If you change seat, maybe you can use it without any problem. The Huffy Nel Lusso trike weighs in at 70 pounds, which is quite heavy, and it would need the combined effort of about 2 people to carry it.
And with the rear basket capable of bearing up to 50 pounds, that gives you a load limit of 300 pounds or slightly more. Pacific Cycle offers you a limited lifetime warranty that runs active Schwinn Meridian as long as you own the trike. Two, the handlebars are wide apart to allow you to balance your weight on the bike. Moreover, they feature 2-inch tires that roll smoothly on-road.
I’m building a motorized Schwinn trike as well, but mine’s like 30+ yrs old. I specifically chose those because of room in the back to put the motor and such. Upright ‘delta’ Trike braking is entirely on the front wheel, and tipping over in a corner as you describe…
All of these solid design features make the Meridian a comfortable, sturdy and safe vehicle. This trike enjoys a super-low geometry with step-thru access. In addition, its step-thru frame offers you a low stand-over height to allow you to get on and off the trike quickly. You’ll have a great tricycle at a great price if you’re willing to deal with a few minor issues at first. Schwinn Meridian Adult Tricycle comes in a variety of sizes, wheels, handlebars, and baskets, and is extremely delicately designed to meet the needs of the user.
Another positive is that the gearing is perfect for her. I weigh 260 and this trike is easy, fun and very durable. I’ve heard there has been an issue with damage during shipment. As with all exercise, there is a risk of injury involved while riding a bike. Be sure to consult with your doctor beforehand to ensure this is a safe and viable activity for you.
