Unless the trike is a piece of crap the hubs should last for many miles. I’m much more familiar with tadpole recumbent trikes . I don’t read about owners having to frequently replace a hub on them, even on the entry level models.
The low-maintenance trike is what you need to help you get up-and-about while doing your chores. Now this is one trike that will definitely get a lot of use out of it, particularly for those long rides to the beach or just around the city. The trike comes with a large, adjustable, padded seat using spring suspension for enhanced comfort when riding for prolonged periods. If you’re trying to figure out whether to go with the 24″ or 26″ wheel size, we’d say in most cases it isn’t going to be make a big difference. The smaller wheel size helps if you have limited space, otherwise we give the edge to the 26″ wheel because of more stablility and ease of peddling. They larger wheels will also give you a smoother ride.
If you are planning to make an effort to better the environment, live green and reduce your carbon footprint, this adult trike is your best choice. Riding the Meridian to the grocery store or do little neighborhood errands on a perfect sunny day is always an amazing experience. A rear expander brake and front alloy Huffy Nel Lusso linear pull brake deliver reliable speed control and secure stopping power. Plus, a locking brake lever acts as a parking brake to keep the tricycle stationary on flat ground for easy loading and unloading. The drive side on these adult trikes is on the same side as the chain – the right side of the trike.
The manufacturer, Pacific Cycle, employs high-quality aluminum in the frame to promise two things. The first one is sturdiness and the second is a lightweight bike. Generally, knowing the Schwinn Meridian’s weight limit is crucial as it protects you from overloading the trike. If you exceed its weight limit, you could quickly lose control and crash.
If you know you’ll be going uphill, downhill, through mud or difficult terrain, opt for a 7-speed. If you’re just going to and from the grocery store on a flat piece of land, a 1-speed is sufficient.

Late in my dads life he wanted to try cycling one last time and got a Schwinn trike. He fell getting on and scratched himself on some part of the bike. Since he was anemic from coumadin and his old skin was paper thin, he bled a lot and bruised too. On that basis I would definitely recommend one of the crank forward Sun trikes instead. Its just like sitting down in a chair or a recumbent exercise bike.
I live in a town where NO ONE does trikes or bikes, and I don’t have any way to take it somewhere to fix. Thats why three wheel ATCs went away in favor of quads. Less so Schwinn Meridian the tads which have your weight mostly over the axle but I still had a few traction rolls. I was able to ride Dads Schwinn on two wheels, it wasnt a difficult trick.
