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 Huffy Nel Lusso sort of person. You could always pay a little extra to have it assembled for you at a bicycle shop. The back positioned fenders often rub on the tires, which may result in quicker wearing of the tires.
The disadvantage is that you don’t have the option to change gears. If you’re on flat, paved ground this is not a big deal. However, if you’re riding in a really hilly area, or plan to take your tricycle on grass or gravel, we’d recommend something with gears. In particular, the Barbella Huffy Nel Lusso 7-speed might be a good option for hills, and the Vanell Mountain trike is a good choice if you’re on unpaved or rough terrain. Front and rear alloy linear pull brakes provide secure stopping power and speed control so you can ride with confidence in a variety of conditions.

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.
The low standover aluminum frame makes it easy to get on and off, while the extra-large seat offers superior comfort on every ride. Schwinn adult tricycles come with either 24- or 26-inch wheels, depending on the chosen option. Those with 24-inch wheels are best for riders between 4 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 5 inches; those with 26-inch wheels are best for riders between 5 feet 4 inch and 6 feet 2 inches.
