Kent International Northwoods Rock Point Adult Trike, 24-Inch , black

The frame is so weak it would twist whenever I tried to peddle it, Very dangerous. Almost fell off.

This trike was purchased for my husband, who has MS, for exercise purposes. The package arrived via Fed Ex and was damaged so much that it was open and not sealed. We took the trike to a bicycle shop for assembly and somehow the parts were all there. We have now had it outfitted with new pedals to accept shoe clips (he has poor control of his feet) and to replace the seat. The seat is too weak to hold up without the rider ending up leaning back, perhaps the springs are too loose, which resulted in his leaning back against the back support, which bent on first use. My husband is 5'11", 205 and the trike is size appropriate. The hand brakes are short and difficult to grasp and we will be replacing them in order to lock the wheels to assist in mounting and dismounting. Attractive appearance. Step through frame is helpful in mounting with his leg disfunction. Gearing allows for easy pedaling in turns and on slopes. Overall seems to be an acceptable trike, with a few tweaks. Not for a big person.

I turned 87 a couple months ago, and my wife bought me this trike for my birthday. I spent a couple day in our living room, assembling the bike with loving care. My first attempt to ride it was catastrophic. The seat post slid down, making my legs too cramped to even try riding. A couple other things were wrong, so I straightaway put it for sale on Craigslist. Thank the Lord, I had no calls. I remedied the problems and took off on my first adventure. Yes, it felt spooky being up there on the machine, and I managed to crash into a phone pole, but nothing damaged, even my pride.Thereafter, I made runs and was sore of back and all, but persisted in going out. My ancient thighs have become solid, and I go from 35th to 65th and back with relative ease, and no aches. My lumbar spine was broken at age 19, while with the Marines, and I thought riding the trike rather than taking rides on my mobility chair (walking is very tenuous with me) would build up my back muscles and possibly lessen the pain. I find now I am stepping over low-lying carpets and such, and albeit I may never be pain-free in my spine (I avoid meds because of side-effects), it is possible there is some improvement, and even if there weren't, I'd still love riding my trike, for the fresh air, the sense of adventure, and the sense of well-being I get from the rides, almost daily.I have a can of silicone spray that I apply to the chain and derailleur, and it shifts smoothly. I am thankfully close by city bike trails, and although some would call our city fairly flat, it is amazing how many ups and downs there are that you never notice whilst driving a car. It is inconceivable in my opinion that a person would waste money on a trike with one-speed. To me, they are anathema, and unthinkable, especially for us elderly types.One day I prepared to ride and a rear tire was flat. I had a couple new 24" tubes, and fixed it and resumed the 60 psi. While I had the tire off, I ran my hand along inside, and discovered a sharp projectile. It was a thorn. Please avoid driving on grass, thinking it to be safe. Nasty things hide there. Stick to streets and bike trails to avoid problems.In conclusion, after a couple months, I couldn't be more content with the purchase. The design style and the whitewalls make this ride gorgeous, and I get compliments. Who wouldn't want that?

Nice looking bike, but the gear system is terrible. This bike boasts 7 speeds but they are all low to very, very, very low and are basically useless. This bike arrived in a rather tattered box, but it seemed to be complete.

Trike went together easily, suggest that you have a metric set of allen wrenches & metric box/open wrenches before you start. Only fault I find with trike is the seat. Lumbar support is a joke, it bent the 1st time I sat on the trike. Seat will not stay at height I set it due to the chrome surface on the seat post, so I put a hose clamp on the seat post which works great

Beware!!!

Wanted a tricycle for my wife. We are seniors and not in as good of shape as we used to be so I wanted the multiple speeds, that was a must. Trike was mostly put together, easy assembly except could not get seat post to tighten, broke the clamp trying, did some online research and found this to be a common enough problem that a company actually makes a shim to make it work, frame is a little too big for the post. Took it out for the test ride and the rear wheels both wobbled badly. Turned out the rear axle was bent, disassembled rear of bike, had axle straightened . We are now happy with bike, have the 7 speed cruiser trike we wanted. Dissapointed we had to do so much to it. We did not contact manufacturer because this is the bike we wanted, taking apart and sending back would have been a pain, so I chose to deal with the problems

Riding this trike for about a month now. Assembly was easy but I relax doing mechanical stuff. Front wheel assembly and reconnection of brake a little tricky. Be sure to study the brake assembly before you loosen it to attach the front wheel. Probably best to take a photo first. Riding a three wheel made me nervous at first as it seemed top heavy but I just slow down on curves. On the straight away it is fun and stable. The gears shift nicely which I do frequently as the road is some what up and down, over hill and dale. Not real steep but a good bit of a workout. One caveat...today after a month the front tire went flat and I haven't figured out why yet. Other than that very pleased
