The Pros Outweigh the Cons

Three-wheeled bicycles for adults, also known as trike and cargo bikes, come in a wide range of styles and size. The styles range from slightly modified bikes with larger rear axles for an extra wheel, to a recumbent bike which has frames with seats close to the ground. Regardless of differences, both styles are known for their stability while riding (slow and fast speeds). Although the bikes have many pros, there are a few drawbacks as well. All the cons associated with these cargo bikes are quickly fixed.

As a result of being a larger bike, the bike might slightly stick out into traffic more than a traditional two-wheeled bicycle. Riding on crowded streets or sidewalks can be difficult. The trick is to go slow, be careful, and be aware of surroundings. As a result of a larger frame, the bike is also sometimes difficult to store.

Three-wheeled bicycles for adults do not handle the same way as a two-wheeled bike. It is not that one is harder than the other, it is that they are both different and require familiarity to operate properly.

Besides these two small issues, users’ experiences with three-wheeled bikes are usually very positive. If you think you might benefit from one of these bikes, reach out for more information today!
