- Carton 2
- 56 × 44 × 31 cm; approximately 5 kg
- Number of cartons

- Typical final assembly time
- Allow approximately 1–2 hours for a person experienced with bicycle assembly
- Boxed collection
- Available from Varsity Lakes, Queensland. The two cartons can generally be transported in a suitable passenger vehicle with adequate cargo space.
- Assembled collection
- An assembled tricycle normally requires a ute, van or suitable trailer and will generally not fit inside a standard passenger car or SUV.
Components are individually protected and packed in heavy-duty cardboard cartons to help reduce the risk of transport damage. Inspect both cartons when they arrive and report any visible damage promptly.
Assembly safety: Correct assembly and adjustment of the steering, wheels, rear axle, brakes and gears are essential. If you cannot confidently complete and check this work, use a competent bicycle mechanic or select professional workshop assembly where available.
Warranty, Servicing and Spare Parts
The aluminium frame is covered by a lifetime frame warranty. Covered bicycle components are supplied with a 12-month residential warranty against manufacturing defects, subject to the current full warranty terms and exclusions.
Warranty coverage does not replace routine maintenance, servicing or adjustment. Tyres, tubes, brake pads, cables, chains and other normal wear items require inspection and replacement as they wear.
Trike Bike Australia has specialised in adult tricycles since 2007 and provides workshop support, replacement parts and technical assistance to support long-term ownership.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the 26-inch model designed for?
This model is generally best suited to riders approximately 170 cm (5′7″) and taller, or riders who specifically prefer the smoother rolling characteristics of larger wheels. Inside-leg measurement, flexibility and reach should also be checked because height alone does not guarantee a suitable fit.
Is this an electric tricycle?
No. This is a pedal-powered adult tricycle with Shimano 6-speed derailleur gearing.
What is the advantage of 26-inch wheels?
The larger wheels provide a smoother, more traditional cycling feel and can roll more comfortably over minor surface irregularities. They also create a larger overall tricycle that is generally better suited to taller riders.
Can it be used for shopping?
Yes. It includes a front basket and a large rear basket for groceries, personal belongings and everyday errands. Cargo must be evenly distributed and properly secured.
Does a tricycle ride like a normal bicycle?
No. A tricycle does not need to be balanced while stationary, but its steering and cornering characteristics are different from a two-wheel bicycle. Practise progressively in a quiet, open area.
Does it have a parking brake?
Yes. The brake-lever parking function helps prevent the tricycle from rolling while it is parked.
Can it be ridden on bicycle paths?
A pedal tricycle can generally be used anywhere a conventional bicycle may legally be ridden, subject to applicable state, territory and local rules. Riders should always observe signs and pathway restrictions.
How do I confirm the correct rider fit?
Compare the seat-height range, step-over height, handlebar position and overall dimensions. If you are unsure, call 07 5522 0583 with the rider’s height, inside-leg measurement, flexibility, intended use and usual terrain.
Are spare parts and servicing support available?
Yes. Trike Bike Australia provides replacement parts, workshop services and telephone technical support for long-term ownership.
