Not everyone will want a black or white back, and Schwinn acknowledges this by providing 6 colors to choose from. Schwinn offers the Meridian Adult 26” Trike in 6 color choices. Buyers can choose between Black, Black Cherry, Blue, Dark Silver, Green and White colors.
There are also plenty of good videos to walk you through the process step-by-step. The rider and cargo combined should be up to 300 Schwinn Meridian lbs for the 24” model and up to 350 lbs for the 26” model. The high handlebars allow the rider to remain upright while riding.
If you need to tackle a range of gradients on your route, this seven-speed tricycle is the ideal option, making lighter work of hills. The spacious cargo basket has a solid base and can fold when not in use. Like the three-speed model, it’s only available in a 26-inch wheel size. Sandwiched between the rear wheels is a rather large cargo basket. Compared to all its features, the basket is the most useful. It can carry a respectable amount of groceries, a few days worth depending on what you purchase.
I’m guessing you have a problem with the freewheel part of the front shaft. If it was a normal bike, you might fix it by disassembling and cleaning the pawls in the freewheel, but with this setup it will be somewhat different. I expect the problem will come and go and gradually get worse.
Be the first to know about deals, new products, sales, and more. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. Apart from the weight, I guess you are okay to accommodate the tricycle.
It is definitely one of the larger adult tricycles, and has no folding option, so keep that in mind when making a buying decision. It’s not likely to fit into any standard size car if you need to drive to wherever you’re planning to ride. Then you’ll need to attach the rear section of the frame. Next, attach the chain from the frame to the rear section which is what drives the wheels. Finally, you’ll need to attach the wheels and the cargo basket if you choose to.
This is a really fine adult tricycle and has a nice combination of comfort and safety for most riders. The Schwinn Meridian will last a long time, won’t need constant maintenance, and will give you a comfortable ride. Our overall number one pick when choosing the best adult tricycle has been the Schwinn Meridian Adult Tricycle for several years now. Available in both 24″ and 26″ wheel configurations , it also has several different color options, one of the larger rear cargo baskets, and is a great option for most casual riders. The 26″ Schwinn Meridian single speed adult tricycle has been a perennial favorite for years. The 26″ Meridian uses 26×2.00 tubes and tires.
There’s also a folding rear cargo basket that’s extremely useful. It’s one of the larger cargo baskets that we’ve found on adult tricycles, and can easily hold groceries or a backpack. The cargo basket also folds down so you can strap down a larger item if you choose to. In addition to the features for comfort, there are several safety features that are worth noting. There are both rear and front breaks to help stop the trike more quickly. This is somewhat of a concern on most trikes since the added weight of the tricycle makes stopping less responsive than you on a two-wheel bicycle.
On the other hand, Schwinn has a long history of making quality bikes of all shapes and sizes, unlike a Slsy Tricycle Three Wheeler. You always have to consider the basket more closely; it can help shave down your gas bill if you take this in lieu of your car for quick grocery trips. It’s also much cheaper than a Raleigh Tristar Tricycle.
