It’s one of the larger cargo baskets that we’ve found on adult tricycles, and can easily hold groceries or a backpack. The cargo basket also folds down so you can strap down a larger item if you choose to. The only constraint here is that the item needs to fit between the two rear wheels, so you can’t have something that’s really overly large without attaching a special cargo carrying cart. From images on the web, the Schwinn Meridian is an adult tricycle with two chains.
Sturdy and stable, built with safety in mind, and designed with a carrying capacity of 350 pounds for rider plus cargo. 250-watt hub-drive pedal assist motor that provides a quiet boost to accelerate up to 20mph with the throttle. Equipped with 4 heavy duty universal casters and front carry handle provides easy portability to move your Pelonis space heater from room to room. Shimano 7 Speed Gear Shift SystemThe Shimano 7 speed freewheel means you can shift to a larger cog for uphill riding and downshift to a smaller cog at high speeds. In combination with the pedal-assist system, you can adjust the suitable speed to com plete your journey.

Connecting the two chains is a transfer shaft with two sprockets. The bike is apparently a single speed unit with two hand brakes — one on the front wheel and one on the transfer shaft. Presumably there is a freewheel mechanism built into one sprocket on the transfer shaft. This is a really fine adult tricycle and has a nice combination of comfort and safety for most riders.
One reviewer who purchased the tricycle for his weight loss journey was pleased to find that the tires held up for him at 400 lbs. The cargo basket is fantastic for groceries or other cargo. The manufacturer warns riders that the cargo area is not for pets, children, or other passengers. Even if they are under 50 lbs., the cargo basket is not a safe riding space. The Huffy Nel Lusso is made of a quality aluminum frame. It can handle more weight than the average bicycle because of its broad and sturdy frame.
The Schwinn Meridian comes with a large rear-folding basket to help you lug around that haul of groceries or even a picnic basket for a trip to the park. Just note that the trike’s basket is not suitable for carrying pets, kids or other passengers. The prevention would be to store the bike in a garage or inside, and to rinse the transmission off after every winter ride – I see a bit of corrosion there which could indicate the cause.
