It's worth whatever you can sell it for.

The heavier Worksman trikes, including the front-loader trikes, are made mainly for industrial applications. The people that use them mainly buy new, so there's very little demand (and very little supply) for used industrial trikes.

Adult trikes in general are usually sought after by the geriatric set. And a generic adult tricycle will go for maybe $150 in workable condition. The catch is that for old people barely able to turn a crank, "heavy duty" is not really a selling point, and "light weight" would be equally important to them. So a Walmart tricycle that sold for $300 new may fetch just as much as a heavy-duty trike that sold for three times as much new.
 
We have several of those at work as well as the heavier Worksmen trikes. They are a very well built, that is for sure.

But I must say that you will probably be able to get $50 for the front wheel, if the brake has all the parts. The rears might fetch $25-40 for the pair. Problem with those is you or the buyer will have to come up with hubs that can handle the heavy spokes. The rest of the parts are just Wald parts, I would ask $5-15 each for the stem, bars, forks, crank, chain ring, pedals, seat and post. The jack shaft hub could be re-purposed to accommodate a wider rear tire (car tire) on a bike or for a burrito build. The 4 pillow block bearing run about $10 each new so I would ask $20 from the right buyer. If you part it out you will more than likely be left with the frame. It could be hacked up for a custom build.

If you sell it whole I wouldn't think $150 would be out of line given it's in good shape. Might start at $200 and see if anybody bites.

If it was mine I would use it as a base for an awesome build. They have a lot of potential hiding in there waiting to be released.

Hope this helps in some way.
 
why sell the trike? what you should do, is make a really cool chopper trike.

Maybe you could show him some of the cool trikes we have here, he may have a change of heart. :)
 
I like the purple trike of course!

The one with the car stuff is a little odd, kinda wannabe recumbent. Tires definitely look too big.
 
I want a trike really bad but man no idea where to find one and shipping is dang near impossible but some Ive seen on this site are jealously awesome :roll: :roll: :roll:
