Worksman Port-O-Trike PT3CB
Been riding for about six months now. I live in a walk-up and am not very strong, and this trike is light enough for me to fold in half and pull up the stairs. I use a bungee cord to keep the trike folded. Ordered the lavender paint, and the color is really lovely and vibrant. I can't speak to things like the comfort of the seat, as I attached a seat that I already had. But overall, a wonderful, durable product.
I did a lot of research before ordering this bike. At 79 years of age and having ridden bikes and motor cycles most of my life I knew what I wanted. It had to be light enough that I could lift it into the short bed of my Tacoma pickup. It had to be foldable to fit in the back of my RAV4 and have at least 3 speeds. Since I had read a lot of reviews, I purchased it through my local Walmart store after finding out they would assemble the trike and test it to make sure everything worked as it should. It met all my criteria and I rode it from the store to my pickup in the parking lot and liked the way it worked and handled. I rode it around the neighborhood as soon as I arrived home and feel I made a good choice. I intend to take it with me to visit campgrounds and get exercise at home. I have no cons to list at this time. I am very satisfied with my purchase. I approved this message, I just need help deciding who to vote for,lol.
A good friend purchased a folding trike from Worksman and when I saw it and gave it a try, I knew I had to have one. It came with instructions, and there is also a video on You Tube that my husband used when putting it together and it was fairly easy. I never learned to ride a bicycle and as an adult have given it a few tries, but the speed and idea of a bad fall is terrifying, so at age 61 the trike is a wonderful alternative! It is very sturdy and I feel safe, so it has become a new pleasure--I love my trike! The only down side is that I thought, since it is a folding trike, that I would be able to put it in my trunk and take off whenever I wanted. Well, that has not worked. Right now we are looking at a rack that will hold one bicycle and one folding trike. I don't mind that because my Worksman Port-O-Trike3CB brings so much joy into my life! Thank you Worksman!
I bought this trike after realizing that my 7 year old daughter is not likely to learn how to ride a bicycle any time soon. However, she liked to play with her old tricycle and carry things in a basket.
This trike has been the best toy I have ever bought. I upgraded the wheels, fenders, and splurged for the ding dong bell. We live out in the country and have a gravel road and so far she has had no problems getting around. The trike is rated for up to 225 lbs so my parents and I could also ride it. So far I am pleased with its functionality.
My dad did mention that it could be a challenge to assemble. He is a handy guy that has built everything from furniture to houses so I believe him when he said that parts of the assembly process were not easy.
So far I am pleased with the purchase. Although I am glad I had my dad to put it together.
This trike is a good product in most respects but not all. The quality of material and workmanship is a positive and the fact that it folds makes it easier to store and somewhat easier to transport. It has a very short turning radius and is really stable. On the downside, it is very compact and not easy to use for someone with long legs. Transporting the trike using a trunk-mount rack requires a 3-bike rack leaving no room for even one additional bicycle. A couple of improvements Worksman might consider would be (1) a gear shift mechanism incorporated in a hand grip so shifting gears does not require pushing and pulling on a lever, and (2) a quick-release that would keep the trike locked in the folded position.
My wife is very happy with the quality and safety of her new bike. Once she got use to the characteristics of the three wheeler, she really enjoys taking it out. I know she'll be enjoying it for years. It's nice to find a well made product that's made in the USA, you all should be proud of yourselves!
A few problems needed fixing and Worksman made it happen. It's now a great ride and gets a lot of positive comments from the folks that see you on the street. Assembly is fairly straight forward. Worksman made a gearing change (36 to 32 chainring) at my request to easy hill climbing and that was a good plan.
wife loves this bike everybody asks her where she got it , no complaints , got a basket for the front and our Jack Russell loves to go for rides. thank you worksman
I cannot review at this time. I am battling progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and that was why I was wanting the increased stability of the tricycle over a bicycle. However with the back peddle brake I find myself going in tiny circles to the left! I was just beginning to straighten myself out when I suddenly started suffering from DJD of the right hip so I have to have a total hip replacement. So when I'll get back to the trike is any body's guess.
Do you have any comments or suggestions about the small leftward circles ??
I ordered this trike to help my wife be able to exercise, and get around the rv park we live in. The trike was a bit high geared for her, and Bruce was very helpful when I was ordering a smaller crank sprocket for her. We love the trike now, many thanks! Mike
