Product Description
Featuring unique retro styling and a heavy-duty steel construction, the Schwinn 12" Roadster Trike is a great choice for your youngster's first trike. It has a low center of gravity thanks to a wider profile back, which offers added stability to prevent tipping. The swoopy steel frame has an easy step-through design so your tyke will be comfortable and ready to ride. The Roadster has a bucket seat with an opening on the back for easy carrying, and the seat can be adjusted underneath with twist knob (no tools needed) to five different positions. The handlebars have textured grips and raised ends that help keep the hands from slipping off, and the handlebars can be adjusted using a wrench. The pedals offer colored rubber accents that also provide extra gripping so shoes don't slide off. It also features air-filled tires--12 inches in front, 8 inches in the back--which provide a smoother ride over bumpy surfaces. For added style, this trike comes with a real wooden deck in back with a burned-in Schwinn logo, shiny silver fenders on the front and back tires, a bell on the handlebars (which can be removed), and tassels for added flair coming off the ends of the handlebars (also removable).

 Super Cool but..... October 12, 2008
First one arrived very well beaten. The packing is horrible for shipping. The bike had multiple dings and scratches. The replacement bike was received quickly from Amazon. I was a little let down with the quality though. Reasons being stickers in place of painting on some parts. Handle bar attachment hardware kind of cheap and still seams loose. Still some dents on the fenders but hardly noticeable All in all my 2 year old will beat this thing up anyways. I just wished it came with better fit and finish for an American Classic brand. This is the problem with most American products these days though. Oh, and if anyone cares this product is now manufactured in CHINA.
 Great Trike! October 11, 2008
Bought this for my 2 year old grandson - he absolutely loves it! My husband and I assembled it quite easily, and we are not mechanically gifted at all. It is very sturdy and the adjustable seat is a really good idea. My grandson doesn't quite have the pedaling down yet, but he uses his feet to scoot all over the house and down the street. This is a trike that he will use for a long time, and it's built to last.
beautiful little bike October 8, 2008
we purchased this bike for my daughter's 2nd birthday in september. she really hasn't had much of a chance to try riding it because it has turned cool and rainy here in michigan. the bike is really pretty...it is very well made and very easy for kids to get on and off. the seat is adjustable and it is not "tippy" like other trikes. the reason we chose this bike is because my neice has the same one and my daughter really liked it. my sister got hers at costco and when I checked costco they only had them online, so i checked amazon and found this one for 10 less with free shipping. i am anxious for the weather to get a little nicer so we can take it outside.
23 month old loved this shiny new red bike October 6, 2008
My parents purchased this bike for my 23 month old son for an early 2 year old birthday gift. My son is a bit tall for his age (90th %tile) and he fits it perfectly with the seat forward. My only flaw with this bike is that it came with a crack in the wooden board which has the Schwinn name written on it. My father put the bike together and said that the screw/bolt was drawn too tight and cracked the wood. This part was already assembled when shipped to us. My son learned how to peddle in three days and is doing well on steering after a couple of weeks. He loved the tassles on the handlebars, and called it a motorcycle when we pulled the blanket off to reveal the surprise. The tires need inflated a bit, but the bike does not tip and is safe on our slightly inclined driveway. I would definately recommend this bike as a beginner tricycle for a two year old and up.
Worth the Extra Money October 5, 2008
This was ordered last week and arrived in perfect condition. The bike itself is absolutely beautiful. It has a retro kind of feel to it, and our neighbor commented that it looks like the "Harley" of tricycles!
Contrary to other reviews, nothing smelled bad, including the tires. My husband put it together in about fifteen minutes, and nothing needed to be adjusted or changed. Everything fit together perfectly. We gave it to my son for his 2nd birthday, and he LOVES it! He can't peddle yet, but he loved using his feet to get it to move, and he was outside with it for about a half hour. We now have to hide it so he can't keep asking to go outside again.
It is extremely sturdy and adjustable for a child as he/she grows, and the tires should last a long time since they are rubber instead of plastic. I had read that this trike is very heavy, but it doesn't seem to be any heavier than any other metal trike we looked at. It is also very quiet, and the handle bars are sturdy yet easy to steer. Finally, the little bell becomes the cherry on top of this great purchase.
I looked at tons of trikes both on stores and on this site, and this one takes the cake. It is so incredibly sturdy and built for years of riding. It just dwarfs other trikes by comparison.
