FAQ
You'll find answers to the most common questions on Viribus tricycles.
What are the benefits of a tricycle over a traditional bike?
Tricycles provide increased stability and balance over two-wheeled bikes, making them ideal for seniors or those with mobility limitations. The three-wheel design also means you can stop and sit upright on the trike without tipping over.
What size adult trike should I get based on my height?
Use the following as a general height guide for our adult trikes:
- 4'10" to 5'2" = 15-24" compact frame
- 5'3" to 6'0" = 20-26" mid-size frame
- Over 6' = 26-29" large frame
How much assembly is required for trikes upon delivery?
Our adult trikes come 35-40% assembled. You'll just need to straighten and secure the handlebars, attach the seat, and inflate the tires. Full instructions and tools are included. Plan for 90-150 minutes for assembly.
Is the tricycle suitable for individuals who haven't learned to ride a bicycle?
Certainly! Tricycles are an excellent choice for those who haven't mastered riding a bike, offering enhanced stability and balance through their three-wheel design.
