    AMF Trike Score

    I chanded the front sprocket to a 36t and pedals much better. This thing is HEV EEY and has a differential like a car in back. I am gonna keep it until something better comes along. I dont know why people frown on these older bikes and call them low quality etc. How much better quality do you...

    AMF Trike Score

    I picked this up for 50.00 from a neighbor down the road. Great shape other than a tube in one tire. I rides really nice but pedals hard as crap. I have a 36t front sprocket to replace that super hi geared 44. I may repaint it. Their grandaughter did the blue green awful colors. Sent from my...

    Pedicab Anyone??

    Yeah.Was looking for a standard tryke. You would need Supermans legs to pedal that thing with passangers unless they were little kids. 3 speed looks like. Thay said it was perfect except needed a rear tube. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Pedicab Anyone??

    I had to share this. Atlanta CL this morning theres an adult tricycle ad with no pic for 200.00. Curious this is the pic they emailed me. Looks like a new new Worksman. Somebody spent some serious money. BUT I had no use for it although it is very cool. I wouldnt wanna p3dal it. Sent from my...

    Explain The Schwinn Fasination

    Well I sold it. Guy didnt try it and didnt know what he was buying. I barely broke even at 150.00 but I wanted it gone and had no other bites. Lesson learned. Now back to hunting a real trike at a reasonable price. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Explain The Schwinn Fasination

    Heres a Trailmate I had. Note the longer and lower one piece frame with slightly out front pedals. A very solid and stable comfortable bike.IMO the best built and simplest tryke you could buy. I liked it much better than the 4 Worksmans I have had too. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Explain The Schwinn Fasination

    DJBill the tryke had a coaster brake bicycle wheel on one side. Most trykes use a solid one piece axle. The Schwinn has 3 majors flaws 1. Its too short.Probably 6 inchs shorter than a rear adult tryke. 2. It has a 2 piece frame not a solid one piece so the Schwinn flexes. 3.Very high center of...

    Explain The Schwinn Fasination

    Oh no its a famous Chicago Schwinn. You can see it in the for sale section. I pray no overweight person comes because I wont let them near it. Talk about flimsy and cheap. Our 11 year old granddaughter wont even ride it. Said she hates it and pushed it back to the house. Sent from my GT-P5113...

    Explain The Schwinn Fasination

    Interesting. The tryke was really a huge disappointment. I did get one person to test ride it for about 50 feet before asking "whats wrong with this thing...why cant you steer it?". and passed on it. Inferior design IMO. Maybe a good idea on paper but thats all. I have only had one other true...

    Explain The Schwinn Fasination

    Why is it that Schwinn seems to be THE bicycle compared to every other brand.? They are no better made than any other. Parts for them are weird and wont interchange with others like crazy tire sizes. Example (and heres what prompted the question) I went and bought myself the Town/Country trike...

    Schwinn Front Wheel Mounting

    Had to remove the front wheel on the Town and Country tryke to get it in the Kia Soul. Its the old tryke not the China junk. Anyway was in a hurry so I removed both axle nuts and 2 outer washers, slid fender braces off. When I bumped the wheel down to clear the fork some o5her things fell off...

    Schwinn Town and Country Trike

    Those Sun trikes are a very comfortable relaxed ride. The Schwinn bike makes you feel like you are sitting up high "on top" of the bike (same feel with Worksmans)) whereas the Sun trykes make you feel like your riding "in" the bike. Huge difference. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Schwinn Town and Country Trike

    This one is a single speed coaster brake. I thought it would be hard to pedal but actually its too EASY to pedal. You spin like crazy and are barely going. I am thinking about putting a 40t chainring up front and a longer arm crank. I hate the skinny tires and baby size handlebars.It just feels...

    Schwinn Town and Country Trike

    I went and got it today. Basically mint condition but not for me. It cant hold a candle to a Miami Sun or Trailmate IMO so up for sale it went. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Schwinn Town and Country Trike

    I guess my biggest concern is keeping it on the road. That Schwinn uses 3 times the parts as my old Trailmate trike. It looks very complicated compared to todays modern day Miami Suns etc. I want to know that if a problem occured it could be easily repaired without spending weeks hunting for an...

    Schwinn Town and Country Trike

    I emailed the lady with the cinal and told her no. As for the Schwinn it may be a flipper. I think parts and upkeep will be near impossible. Best left for a "collector" to sit and look at or sell it to someone who doesnt know what their buying.Let the name alone sell it. Sent from my GT-P5113...
