Review: Excellent trike, just takes some patience if you have to assemble it. - Many of the negative comments you may read are posted by people who are not bicycle mechanics and have little/no experience putting together a bicycle. If you think putting a bicycle together might be challenging for you then you probably want to steer clear of an un-assembled Schwinn Meridian. Even knowing what I'm doing it took about 2.5-3 hours to get the trike assembled and that is only the basic assembly. It took 2-3 days of riding and fiddling with things to get everything adjusted properly. I've seen a few complains about Schwinn (Pacific Cycle's) warranty but I had no issues at all. The first hub unit stripped out the very first time I tried to ride it and the freewheel would just spin on it and the trike wouldn't move. I called up Schwinn warranty services and literally in under 5 minutes I was off of the phone and they were sending me out a new hub unit, freewheel and rear sprocket (just in case). As soon as the new hub unit and freewheel were in and installed I was riding in style. The seat that comes with the bike may be comfortable for lighter (under 200lbs) riders but for larger folks like myself I found it too "bouncy" and it always felt like I was leaning too much with the trike in corners. I replaced it with a Schwinn ultra-wide comfort seat with memory foam from my local Targer (I always use that exact seat on every bike I own). Speaking of corners, a trike is NOT a bike and therefore there is some learning to do. - Firstly you have to remember that you have wheels sticking out that can get caught on something, so no cutting corners close because either you will clip something and get into a terrible collision or your wheel will dip into the corner and cause you to flip/lose control. Just stay a couple of feet away from road edges and such and you're fine. - Also you'd think that you don't have to lean with it because it has three wheels, but it still has some play in it and when you turn (especially at any speed) I find that leaning with the trike helps the handling quite a bit. - Lastly, remember that it IS a three wheeler with one wheel in the front and two in the back, don't turn the front wheel really hard while going too fast or you can flip it. This seems to be a moot point since it's not a terribly fast bike anyway, but if you're booking it down a big hill or something at 20+ mph it's something to consider. As for fine tuning the assembly, you'll probably have to fiddle with the brakes for a while to get them just right and the fenders can be quite challenging to get lined up properly where they don't rub, you're best bet is to just leave them off honestly. My only real CON with this bike is the way it's geared, it's geared low but not super low. I find that it's hard to ride long distances because of this. At the speed I normally ride a bicycle (probably 5-7mph) I'm having to do a lot more pedaling than normal. If you ride very slow it's fine, or if you ride really fast and take little breaks and coast for a while it's ok, but I do wish it was geared differently. I will probably eventually replace either the rear sprocket or the freewheel for a larger model that will allow me to cruise at the speeds I like (moderately slow), it will greatly limit my top speed but I'm ok with that since I seldom break 10mph on this trike. All in all it's a great bike that I will end up keeping for a very long time. It's like having a little truck that you can throw things into and carry around. You can transport dogs, a small child (with a helmet of course), groceries, things you bought at a local garage sale, all kinds of things easily with this trike. Ride and handles great, Schwinn customer service is great. The only reason I'd say to steer clear of buying it is if you aren't committed to putting it together and taking the time to get it right. If that's the case then buy it from a local re-seller pre-assembled, even though you'll likely still have to do some tweaking.
Review: Very High Quality - Buy This Trike! - EDIT: I wrote this review about 16 months ago, and I still ride this Trike. It is still very, very strong and has proven its high quality. I ride 3 times weekly, and have lost about 40 pounds during the time I’ve been riding. It has no mechanical problems whatsoever, and is a blast to ride. I repeat what I said 16 months ago — BUY THIS TRIKE!! I'm an aging former bicyclist (68 yoa) that gave up two-wheeled transportation about 3 years ago. I bought this machine because of my desire to ride again, and my need for exercise. I chose the Schwinn Meridian single-speed because both "expert" reviews and user reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and at 6'3" of height/260 lbs this is one of the few trikes that I could fit on, without spending $1000+. Negatives: -- The front wheel is slightly out of true. Since it's the front wheel, that's not a biggie. It's very slight, not enough to affect braking, and probably won't get any worse because the wheel is not stressed. Both rear wheels are in true. -- There was one scratch on the frame, but after 3 days of use I've already forgotten where it is. It's about a half-inch long, not a deal breaker. I figure I'll probably scratch it up eventually anyway! Neutral: -- After about 35 years of serious, hard-core road cycling, it is surprisingly difficult to learn to ride a Trike! It's almost like learning to ride a bike for the first time, all over again. Turning is completely different tactically on a Trike, and riding straight on a slanted surface presents its own set of difficulties. Most of the learning curve is to figure out how to **not** lean, and remain upright, when turning. Positive: -- Workmanship and quality of the bike is excellent (except for the above-mentioned wheel). Everything is beefy, strong, and fits. Nothing was missing from the box, and the box was not damaged. -- The Trike rides very smoothly, with no noise other than the slight rattle from the basket and the tires on the road. -- Brakes on both ends are very good, but need to be adjusted during assembly. **Take the time to get them adjusted!** -- Assembly took 2 hours and 15 minutes, and was pretty easy. The caveat is that I already understood the basics because of my cycling experience (adjusting brakes, seat/seat post, bars, etc.) so for the uninitiated it may take longer. I worked slowly and did things carefully, so if you're a fast worker it may take less time. -- We Cyclists usually steer away from large, foamy, plush saddles like this one. They usually end up as torture devices. However, I have to say this big, pillowish thing is the most comfortable seat I've ever used on a bike. There, I said it. Yes, I'm surprised. -- Buy from desertcart. I ordered the Trike on a Monday, was promised free delivery for the following Sunday (6 days) and the bike arrived Wednesday - only 48 hours after I ordered it online. desertcart is really good at this stuff, folks.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the advantage or disadvantage to a 24" VS 26" ?**
A: I had also wondered about this and was told that because I have low back pain it would be better to get the 24" because the handles were higher and there would be less 'reaching' bending over that I would have to do with the 26" -  And I am almost 5'6"  - But I've not bought one yet because I would prefer to 'check' one out first.hope this helps someone.

**Q: What is the rider weight limit on the 26" Meridian Cruiser Tricycle?**
A: weight 280lb

**Q: A reviewer indicated the brake was faulty, unless I misunderstood. Has anyone else had brake issues? I am a 4' 10" senior and need stability.**
A: Ive owned 5 of these and never had a brake problem. You need the 24 inch version rather than the 26 inch.

**Q: can i put an additional basket on the front?**
A: The original Question-Asker no longer needs an answer; but  other readers may. Adding a basket on the front is not a problem. Bear in mind, however, that this trike steers by turning the handle bar, not by leaning, as with a bicycle. A heavy load in the  front basket could make steering awkward.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice bike especially for the price of 249.00 free ship.
*by S***C on November 9, 2013*

Ok, all and all this seems to be a great bike for 249.00 you get a whole lot of bike.The frame is light weight (relatively) for such a large bike since it is aluminum. The tires are decent , seat is comfortable compared to most stock seats this one is not bad.I was worried when I read some reviews of the bike coming damaged and scratched since this would be a pain to box back up and return. I got the bike super fast , 3 days! The box was mangled! big hole like a foot long on the bottom and the hole box looked a mess like it fell down a flight of stairs ( not kidding) so I was expecting the worst. I unboxed it and to my surprise not a scratch or dent anywhere. The bike was simple to put together and it did come with instructions. Took about an hour to assemble but I kind of customized it so it took longer. Before customizing it I think it's a well made bike to begin with . I added a seat with back rest and ape hanger handle bars, a windshield , roof, front wheel motorized hub and battery. I gave the bike 4 stars because the rear brake sucks, won't even stop the bike from moving. The front caliper brake is fine. I'm going to check online to see if there is some other way to adjust it other than tightening up the cable. When pulling the rear break lever as hard as possible it doesn't do much of anything. Also being only one gear my legs are going a mile a minute when when I'm only going 12 mph. For my electric conversion it really sucks because once I get over 12 mph I can't peddle anymore and I like to pedal as well as use the electric. Riding it like a normal bike it pedals easy just can't go all that fast. I guess for my purpose I should have gotten a seven speed or 8. I would never pack it up and ship it back, way to much work. I looked for conversion kits but the ones I saw wouldn't work with this bike. For an elderly person this bike would probably be fine.I actually had fun driving it around and the electric conversion makes it really fun. I added 3 studded snow tires because my intentions for this bike was for driving to work in the winter without wiping out. I usually ride an electric 2 wheeled bike and have wiped out a few times. This should be much less stressful driving on ice. It's a nice bike for it's intended purpose , well built besides the rear brakes. I didn't put the rear fenders on because of the reviews of them being rather flimsy and rattling and hitting the tire sometimes. There not needed really since the water or mud wouldn't be thrown on your back since there not directly behind you. The front fender is fine. I'll post some pics here if I can. I love riding it with the electric conversion just wish it was geared higher. If any one knows of a conversion kit for the gears please post it . Thanks
