Important Assembly and Safety Information
Correct assembly of the folding frame, steering, wheels, rear axle, brakes and drivetrain is essential before the tricycle is ridden.
The folding mechanism is a particularly important safety component. Before every ride, make sure the frame is completely unfolded and the folding mechanism is fully closed, securely locked and free from movement. Never ride the tricycle if the folding hinge or locking mechanism is loose, damaged or not properly engaged.
Take your time during assembly and never assume that a component is correctly adjusted simply because it has been installed. Carefully check all fasteners, wheels, brakes, steering components, cables, folding components and drivetrain parts before operating the tricycle.
After completing the assembly, perform your first test ride in a safe, quiet and open area away from traffic, pedestrians and obstacles. Become familiar with the steering and braking at low speed before progressing to normal riding.
An adult tricycle does not steer, balance or corner in the same way as a conventional two-wheel bicycle. Always reduce your speed before turning and avoid sudden or sharp steering movements.
If you are not confident carrying out any part of the assembly or adjustment process, we recommend having the work completed or checked by a competent bicycle mechanic.
Before Your First Ride
Once assembly is complete, take a few minutes to carry out a final inspection of the entire tricycle.
- Confirm that the folding frame is fully unfolded and securely locked.
- Check that there is no looseness or unwanted movement around the frame hinge.
- Check that the front and rear wheels are correctly installed and secure.
- Check that the handlebars and steering components are correctly aligned and tightened.
- Operate the front and rear mechanical disc brakes and confirm they work correctly.
- Check that the brake rotors rotate correctly and are not obstructed.
- Confirm that the parking-brake function operates and releases correctly.
- Check that the pedals, cranks, chain and other rotating components are secure.
- Check that all cables are correctly routed and cannot interfere with the wheels, steering or other moving components.
- Check that the saddle is correctly adjusted and securely tightened.
- Check that the front and rear baskets, mudguards and chain guard are securely installed.
- Check that all reflectors, the bell and LED headlight are fitted correctly.
- Check the tyre pressures before riding.
- Test the brakes and steering at low speed in a safe, open area.
A careful final inspection only takes a few minutes and is an important part of preparing your new 20 Inch Folding Tricycle for its first ride.
About the Trike Bike 20 Inch Folding Tricycle
The Trike Bike 20 Inch Folding Tricycle is a compact, non-electric adult tricycle designed for smaller riders who value easy handling, practical carrying capacity and more convenient storage.
The folding frame reduces the tricycle’s overall storage and transport footprint, making it particularly useful for caravan owners, travellers and riders with limited storage space. The low 37 cm step-over height can also make mounting and dismounting easier for many riders.
This model features a comfortable upright riding position, an extra-padded saddle, adjustable handlebars, front and rear mechanical disc brakes and a simple single-speed drivetrain. A front basket and large rear basket provide useful carrying space for shopping, personal belongings and everyday errands.
The 20 Inch Folding Tricycle is generally best suited to riders shorter than approximately 158 cm. However, rider height alone does not guarantee the correct fit. Inside-leg measurement, flexibility, reach, confidence and intended riding conditions should also be considered.
This is a pedal-powered tricycle and does not have electric assistance. Its simple single-speed drivetrain is best suited to relatively flat riding areas.
If you are considering a 20 Inch Folding Tricycle or would like advice about rider fit, storage requirements or whether this model is appropriate for your intended use, contact the team at Trike Bike Australia.
