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. The huffy cruiser bike Adult Tricycle teeters back and forth when it comes to value. On one hand, it’s a simple adult trike with a basket.
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. 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. Because Huffy Nel Lusso adult tricycles are generally used for casual leisure riding rather than performance cycling, they have large, well cushioned seats to prioritize comfort. However, you will find some difference between saddles in Schwinn’s range of adult trikes. Some saddles are slightly wider and better padded than others and some are sprung for shock absorption.
If you were looking to lessen your carbon footprint and have the tools for assembly, you’ll want something reliable. Its rear basket means you can take grocery trips without a car and it’s comfortable all the way there with its cushioned seat, and its linear pull system brakes really well. 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.
If you prefer driving instead of working up a sweat, you can still enjoy some nice refreshing air with the right diffuser.

The Schwinn Meridian Tricycle for adults makes an excellent commuter bike with its large cargo basket. The cargo basket is fantastic for groceries or other cargo.
That being said, even the slightly narrower and less-padded saddles are more cushioned and comfortable than an average bicycle seat. 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.
