Connecting the two chains is a transfer shaft with two sprockets. The bike is apparently a single speed unit with two hand brakes — one on the front wheel and one on the transfer shaft. Presumably there is a freewheel mechanism built into one sprocket on the transfer shaft. 90% of braking power is on the front wheel and 10% on the rear wheel which is not strong but enough to reduce speed for caution conditions. The front brake, linear pull, is responsive and requires gentle squeeze . Ive never gone over the bars on an upright trike; rather, Ive had a couple experiences braking too hard and thrown off the seat.

However, after reading most reviews, many users claim that the trike can hold up to 300 pounds. The manufacturer states 250 pounds, which I believe is the rider’s weight limit, to be the 24” Huffy Nel Lusso weight limit. The Schwinn Meridian is the perfect trike to haul big loads or for extra support when it is difficult to balance. It’s fun to ride with plenty of features to make cycling enjoyable. I believe that sitting upright is critical for maintaining good posture and protecting the back from injuries. Backswept handlebars, on the other hand, encourage a relaxed and upright riding posture.
