Worksman Port-o-Trike Review

Worksman Port-o-Trike

The Port-o-trike review:

Pros: Assembled and painted in the USA. Available in single speed freewheel, single speed with coaster brake, three speed coaster brake. The Port-o- trike is also available in a three speed coaster brake with an electric motor and lead acid battery.  The seat is wide, but it lacks springs.

Cons: Sloppy brazed together frame and terrible paint on our sample trike. The bearing in rear axle are not sealed, the other trike in our review have sealed bearings which requires less maintenance. Also, the Port-o- trike is heavier than the other trikes and comes with a special Worksman non standard made fork.
