The trike is wonderful. My only complaint is that it is difficult to keep the handlebars tight and they want to swivel without moving the front wheel fork. Teflon tape solved the problem for us

This is a generally high quality tricycle. Unfortunately upon opening the box, we were missing a couple of parts. Also important to know is that for some reason, the company elected to put the bolts, washers and locking nuts in the position where they would eventually be used rather than in the parts bag. This made no sense to me, but I happened to find them.

We have a tall 2 year old and this tricycle is too big for him right now. I would recommend a 10" if your child isn't at least 2.5 years old.

Outside of that, the tricycle is of high quality and will be well used for us in the near future.

I bought this for my 3 yr old b/c it was on sale and I only paid 27.54. That is about how much its worth. While it looks really good both in picture and in person, the build quality is poor.

1) this thing is heavy! I have no idea why the manufacturer chose this material instead of something lighter.

2) while the assembly is fairly easy and there are few parts, the fastening mechanisms are crude. For example, where the handlebar attaches to the frame, the clamp is of a poor design and loosen easily, even after repeated tightening. OK for use by my daughter but easily turned (misaligned) by some of the older kids in the neighborhood.

3) Poor wheel design. The wheels feel loose as the axle does not ride smoothly in the axle tube. This goes the same for the fronts as well. Using bearings or even better plastic bushings would've helped

Overall, the quality of the tricycle is poor. For what I paid, I'm ok with it but for the listed $75, look elsewhere.

Honest reviews on Classic Flyer by Kettler 12" Retro Trike

I want to tell anybody reading this that this is a great tricycle. It is of a strong, almost only metal construction. My only concern concerning construction is the fork for the front wheel. The last inch or so of the fork on both sides is plastic. I can see the purpose of it (a bushing for the shaft of the front wheel), but I would think that there would be a way to make it of metal construction and put a plastic bushing inside the metal construction. In spite of that, I feel this trike is a good choice, far better, of course, than any of those plastic things that they call tricycles. This trike is well strong enough for me (160 pounds) to step on the rear deck and ride there. I almost feel comfortable (concerning durability) to sit down on the seat. It's only the front plastic forks that concern me there.

As a summary, this is it. If you are looking for a strong, sturdy trike that will last and not tip easily, you have got to get one of these, a Classic Flyer made by Kettler.

When we received the trike I really thought I had bought the radio flyer brand and my husband was all ready to return it, however, our son had such a fit because he saw the picture of the bike on the outside of the package that he relented and decided to put it together. We were not disappointed! My mother had accidentally backed over our son's previous bike which was a radio flyer so I know the quality and this is just as good. Our son zooms around on his bike and just loves it! So as long as he's happy and this bike lasts a long time, we're happy.

Purchased these to replace the uncomfortable buckhorn bars on my KZ750. These are a good balance of rise and pull back. Give a more comfortable upright riding position, easier on the wrists.

Review of Primo Gray 24 x 1-3/8 Track Tire, for Wheelchair # C-763 V

Customer Ratings:

I have tried many brands of wheel chair tires over the years. These are not the worst I've ever bought but they are far from the best. Not worth the cost. Spend a little more and get a far better tire.

Discount Worksman Adult Port-o-Trike Lightning Electric Tricycle

Customer Ratings:

After several months of searching for the perfect electric assist trike, I found it. The worksman Port-o-Trike is a wonderful trike. It is well built, beautiful to look at, and the electric part of it is fantastic. Having had my right leg amputated from the knee down a number of months ago,this trike has giving me tremendous freedom and the joy of cycling out doors again. Using the throttle at slow speed, I can cycle with my legs getting all the exercise I need. When the trike first arrived, I had a problem with connecting the charger. I called the customer service at Port-o-Trike, and they immediately resolved it. They were very friendly and answered all my question and concerns. They told me to trust the motor, and now I do. I've taken the trike on a fourteen mile trip so far with no problems what so ever. Recently I found a 'trike rack' for my element, and my wife and I are now looking forward in exploring the wonderful parks of Florida. I wish to thank those who designed such a wonderful machine.

Bought this for my elderly Dad, he loves it. The quality is nice; it's made from good steel components, not a lightweight racing bike and not the crappy imported stuff we see too much of. Very stout and sturdy. The motor provides a LOT of power, and my Dad was pleased to find that ordinary pedaling is very easy as well.

Assembly was simple and easy with basic tools and common sense.

Only negative would be the documentation; a few poorly photocopied sheets, and one manual for the motor was missing entirely so I had to get the .pdf from the manufacturer's website.

The Worksman Electric Tricycle is very enjoyable. One feature that it needs, however, is a brake to lock the tricycle in place while getting on and off of it. On flat roads, it is not a problem, but if you are on a slight incline, etc. it can be difficult, or even dangerous. I had to change the seat. It was not comfortable at all for rides more than twenty minutes or so. Overall, it is good.

Honest reviews on Worksman Adult Port-o-Trike Lightning Electric Tricycle

I love my electric trike. I love riding it around the campgrounds with the grandchildren. It allows me to remain active. The front brake is a little less than I would have expected. It would be nice if the battery and controller box were located somewhere else, freeing the rear basket up to use for other things. The size is very comfortable and compact. I would recommend this trike.

There were several screws and allen wrenches missing, not a big deal. What was a big deal was no pictures or specific instructions to assemble all the parts. With some trial and error we got a working tricycle. Hope it holds up with our guesswork.
