WHAT KIND OF TRICYCLE IS IT?
Tricycles can be broadly categorised into four types:
Road or Touring
Mountain or Off Road
Cross, Hybrid, City or Comfort
BMX
Freestyle
Tricycles for younger riders use are generally scaled down
versions of adult tricycles including the step through
design. Other tricycles include tandems, recumbents and
folding tricycles. Which type is your new tricycle?
ROAD OR TOURING
Typically has narrow tyres and drop handlebar.
Variations include tricycles suited for touring, commuting,
sports, and recreational riding.
MOUNTAIN OR OFF ROAD
The Mountain Tricycle is designed to give the rider
maximum control and durability on a wide variety of harsh
terrain. Everything about the Mountain Tricycle is more
rugged. Its frame geometry provides maximum ground
clearance and allows you to quickly and easily shift your
weight to change the balance of the tricycle as terrain
conditions demand.
WARNING: Not all Mountain type tricycles are
intended for off road or competition use. Check
specifications and technical advice from your
tricycle retailer before use.
CROSS, HYBRID, CITY OR COMFORT
Usually something of a mixture of characteristics of the
Road and Mountain types but may include evolving frame
shapes and components. Suited for general purpose
riding.
