We bought this trike for our daughter who has Down syndrome. She is able to get on/off fairly easily with the seat at its lowest setting; she is exactly 5 feet tall and if she were any shorter probably would not be able to fully reach the pedals. She quickly learned how to use the power assist up/down switch and can brake and steer easily. The power assist that kicks in on just Level 1 is pretty intense; I’ve never had an e-bike before, so maybe this is typical. I wish it was a little less powerful because she really takes off! She’s learned to turn it on for only a few seconds at a time so she doesn’t get going too fast. I haven’t tried taking it out myself and getting it up to full power assist, but I can image I could keep up with side road traffic.

This was our first experience building a bike, and the instructions were very minimal, assuming you knew a lot more than we did, such as how to use a chain breaker, but we figured most of it out with som help from other YouTube videos. We ended up calling a friend who worked in a bike shop to help calibrate the breaks and gearshift to make sure it was completely safe for our daughter. Overall, we really enjoy riding the local bike paths and are pleased with the purchase.
