Triton Pro is an exciting and ultra maneuverable three wheeled bicycle for children and adults. With a very unique, yet simple steering mechanism, It is not only fun and enjoyable to steer, It's easy to ride, durable, and a great way to get a brisk workout. There are no messy chain drives to troubleshoot. The bike sits low to the ground, which makes it safe to ride. The unique steering mechanism improves hand eye coordination and it can turn on a dime. Triton Pro was designed to operate with simplicity, with very little mechanical maintenance, and for fun, fun, fun!

PROS:
EXCELLENT choice for adults who might not feel comfortable on a two-wheeled bike due to spinal disorders, balance problems, inexperience, or limited mobility. The fact that it's low to the ground and stable on 3 wheels was a huge selling point for me.
Assembly was fairly easy….took me about 2 hours. But, I did it on my own without having to ask my husband for help….and I’m a complete idiot when it comes to mechanical assembly.
The recumbent seat is comfortable and the adjustable frame means that the length fits my height exactly. The frame is quite sturdy. It can easily support even overweight individuals. (It’s rated to hold up to 250 lbs.)
The steering is SO MUCH fun! It’s very intuitive….only takes a few minutes to figure it out. It takes very little arm power to steer the bike.
The paint job with flame decals looks cool….nice metallic color. Bike comes with a safety flag and a safety reflector.
Some people might like a chained and geared bike but I like the simplicity of no chain or gears to deal with. All you gotta do is sit down and pedal!
The bike itself is fairly lightweight and easy to transport. I can pick it up by myself and put it in the back of the van for transport.
POTENTIAL CONS:
Just so you know, it’s not a good option for commuter bike. My top speed has been around 7 mph. However, MY purpose for riding is exercise...and this bike provides that perfectly.
I've not been on a bike for over 20 years due to health problems. With the Triton-Pro, I found an affordable bike on which I can feel comfortable and safe while working towards better health. I find that the design of this bike meets my needs perfectly.
I got the triton pro for a little excercise,I road it twice ,it was fun ,but does not pedal very fast and is too easy.tires do not have enough traction to get up the drive way,I think it would be great for a child under 10 its fun but not for me. I have since sent it back.It would be fun if it were a chain driven and a 10 spd.
