I would have purchased a different trike if I had to do it again. I should have spent a bit more money and got something a bit higher quality. I think the Sun trike is adequate for someone who just wants to do a lap around the block then put the trike back into the garage. I wish I purchased a trike with more than seven speeds. The tall main tube is another issue I have; it is difficult to get my leg over. I have some rolling hills by where I live which requires me to shift the gears and I feel the shifting system is a low quality system.
