This is a review for the Worksman PAV 3 trike. It is fun to ride. It's forte is comfort and durability. It gets it's durability from heavy frame, seat and wheels. Comfort is the result of a well cushioned seat with excellent backrest. The drive train is highlighted by a slick shifting Shimano Nexus rear hub. Chains are standard bicycle weight. Couple of issues. The shifter is located on the upright of the tiller style handlebars which is hard to reach and can be dangerous because the rider has to take his or her hand off the grip and reach over the handlebar to change gears. I find the front brake lever/parking brake to be of very low quality. It does however provide adequate leverage for the excellent front drum brake. The rear brake is an internal coaster brake that is adequate in power. Another issue is the use of cable ties to route the cables. No braze or cable stops.
Riding this trike is best enjoyed at a slower pace. Care must be taken when cornering and when riding on streets with a high crown causing a leaning situation that makes the rider feel top heavy. Hills are a challenge that require strong legs.
I rate the PAV 3 highly because it succeeds in accomplishing what it was designed for at what I consider a reasonable price.
