Sports reviews of Westport Adult Folding TricycleCustomer Review: Excellent Value Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this item for my wife and she loves it. She is one of those few people that never learned to ride a bike and this trike is giving her the oportunity to experience the wind blowing in her face while riding for the first time in her life. I think that is like the comercial goes... Priceless! Plus, all the neighbors want to know where they can get one.
That aside. The bike is sturdy and seems will last for years. Fit and finish isn't 100%, but I don't think paying twice as much for a competing product is worth the slightly better finish. But that's just me. It'll soon get scratched and banged anyway, is how I see it. In terms of problems, I didn't experience the tubes popping as others have reported. Luck maybe?
The trike comes half assembled, and putting the rest together was tedious but not rocket science, so the lack of detailed instructions didn't affect me, but may affect the non-mechanically inclined. I did have to do a McGyver to the chain setup by adding a couple of extra washers to the middle sprocket so it didn't rub against the metal and cause problems in the future. You can tell if you have this problem if when you ride it, the chain is really noisy. I did read somewhere someone having a similar problem and that person solved it by getting a totally new piece all together. Not necessary in my case at least.
Conclusion: You simply cannot find a better deal for this trike or similar. Not even close. And definitely worth the price despite the little problems you may encounter. Just hopefully you or someone you know will be able to address them.
Ride safe!
