Schwinn Meridian Adult Tricycle Review ~

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.

The only difficulties are getting everything lined up properly since the fenders on the wheels can be off. It’s up to you if you want to take it to a bike shop and have them do it. It’ll certainly save time and ensure the job is done properly, but it’ll probably cost a bit extra. Yes a tricycle, but we aren’t talking about the one that you rode way back as a kid. Think of a full-sized adult tricycle designed to help you run your daily errands with ease or simply ride about for leisure. If it all sounds as resistible as it is, then the 26″ Huffy Nel Lusso adult tricycle is what you need.

​Yes, the handlebars can be re-adjusted and you can personalize them by adding accessories such as a rearview mirror. The best way to figure out if the 26” is right for you, try out say a 24” and then the 26” at a bike shop. Based on comfort and ease of getting on and off you should be able to figure out if the 26” works for you. It isn’t impossible to assemble this trike yourself, but you might need help if you are not particularly a do-it-yourself sort of person. You could always pay a little extra to have it assembled for you at a bicycle shop.

Be the first to know about deals, new products, sales, and more. Connect and share knowledge within a single location Huffy Nel Lusso that is structured and easy to search. Apart from the weight, I guess you are okay to accommodate the tricycle.

The basket is equally spacious and the trike comfortable to ride and easy to maintain. Located at the rear, the basket is collapsible enabling ease of stowing away when not in use and a dual-function as a valued picnic basket. Closeup of the Rear drive chain of the Schwinn Meridian adult tricycle.

The Schwinn Meridian features a low step-through frame for getting on and off the trike more easily. The wide handlebars let you maintain an upright position while seated, helping to reduce strain on your back and neck. There’s also a padded spring-loaded saddle that is quite comfortable and has good shock absorption to keep the ride feeling smooth. Also, Schwinn builds the Meridian with alloy rims, stainless steel spokes, and smooth-riding tires in a light-weight aluminum frame.

My wife and I just put our Huffy Nel Lusso together a few days ago, after my much superior Raleigh trike was stolen. We found it very difficult to remove some of the bolts for assembly, especially on the rear frame and for the rear fenders. You may need a small 10 mm wrench to loosen them; if you use just a Philips screwdriver, you might end up stripping the bolt head to loosen the tight ones. After we install the rear fenders, we could hear the tires scraping on them. Despite the guaranteed stability of the bike, every rider would like to know that they are equipped to come to a complete halt when need be.

Schwinn Meridian

Unlike your typical 2-wheel bike, the 3-wheel Meridian trike uses two chains, the longer primary, and a shorter 50-pin secondary chain. From images on the web, the Schwinn Meridian is an adult tricycle with two chains. Connecting the two chains is a transfer shaft with two sprockets. The bike is apparently a single speed unit with two hand brakes — one on the front wheel and one on the transfer shaft. Presumably there is a freewheel mechanism built into one sprocket on the transfer shaft.
