Mobo Mini- The World's Smallest Luxury Three Wheeled Cruiser

I'm giving this a "tentative" 5 stars as I purchased it as a Christmas gift for my 2 year old nephew and he hasn't seen/played with it yet. I'll update this review after Christmas with how it went.Price:IMHO, the entire recumbent trike market is way overpriced. But in that context, the asking price (although possibly still a smidge high) is about what I'd expect for this type of product.Quality:The trike appears to be made from good quality parts (i.e., no parts looked inherently sub-standard to me). The main frame, seat frame, and steering assembly are made of a sturdy metal tubing and the welds look decent. The steering linkage, fenders, fender supports, and crank arms are also made of metal. The pedals and tire rims appear to made of plastic. Once assembled, the trike seems very sturdy with all parts properly fitting together snug and secure.~The caliper handbrake is adjustable.~The front tire is inflatable (rear tires are solid).~The front rim is freewheel (braking with handbrake only - or possibly by dragging feet).~The valve for the inflatable front tire is angled outward and can easily be accessed by a standard bike pump.~Removable bike flag/post included.Assembly:The following parts came pre-assembled: 1) steering linkage/steering arm/complete brake assembly/front frame/forts/front wheel/cranks and 2) seat frame/cushions. So all I needed to do was to attach those two pre-assembled sections to the rear axle and put on the rear tires, reflector, bike flag, decals and put air in the front tire.~In no rush, it took me about an hour to de-box, read instructions, and assemble the trike (and then another hour or so to apply the custom decals).~Tools - Do yourself a favor and use your own tools to assemble the trike. The manufacture is kind enough to include tools but I found them to mostly cause frustration (with the exception of the allen wrenches).~Decals - The manufacture also provides a nice variety of decals so you can customize the look of the trike. The nice thing about decals is that they are more forgiving if you misapply and need to adjust their positioning. However, if you haven't applied decals in a while (or ever), I would suggest you practice applying (then removing before it dries) one or two of the larger decals you don't plan on using as they can be a little tricky. Also, the instructions indicate to place the decals in water for a few minutes. However, the decals I received took about an hour in warm water before I could properly separate them from their backing.Portability:This trike is light enough for just about any adult (even petite moms) to easily lift and it's small enough to fit in the trunk/back seat of a typical compact car.If I haven't added an update at the top of this review, then this product is still working for me as described.

I give this trike 5 stars for the 'excitement factor' when our grandchildren got it for Christmas. The quality of craftsmanship was above me expectations. The trike is so sturdy and strong that even grownups had to take a short spin. It looks amazing! Just another good example that 'you get what you pay for'. Similar products are available for less money, but the material and engineered strength of the Mobo Mini far exceeds the other products available. The quality and value of the Mobo Mini assures it will be enjoyed for many years to come. To anyone that might doubt the Mobo Mini's value, I would say this: You will never be sorry you bought the best . . .

This is the second MoBo mini we’ve bought and while my grands love them, they don’t hold up to normal wear and tear at all!The first one lasted a month and we had it replaced and the mechanics fell apart again after a few months (it was for my 1st grandsons 4th birthday 2019). Then we bought this one for my 2nd grandsons 4th birthday (this year) and again pieces of the mechanics falling off, handles getting stuck in one position (ex: won’t turn) and so on.They are definitely all boy and rode them fast and furious (lolol) but always on a flat surface (driveway/street). We gave up and went to normal bikes since they both can ride w/o training wheels :o/

I received the Mobo Mini for my 2 yr old granddaughter today. Ordered Wednesday paid $21.95 for 3 day shipping. Received on time, good tracking throughout the shipment. I was a bit surprised to see as many small paint chips on the unit as there are. well made and excellent engineering.If I did not have my own tools this would have been a challenge to put together with tools provided. (took me 30 minutes)The main fasteners supplied to bolt the linkage and rear frame to the front frame called out socket head cap screws and to use the provided allen wrench. The fasteners supplied with this unit were hex head bolts about .50" too long which took extra time to tighten the nylon lock nuts.(bolts too long to use a standard depth socket to tighten the nuts)I will submit an additional review tomorrow after I see if my granddaughter can ride the Mobo Mini. Advertised for 30 to 60 months, she is 26 months old. Satisfied with the quality would have given this 5 stars if I did not have the issues detailed above.

I've bought two of these for my 3 year old grandson. First one was stolen after 10 months. He was heartbroken so of course, I bought him another. He is 4.5 years old now and he still loves it and rides it every time he comes over. We love taking it to the beach paths and riding bikes together. Quality bike. Very sturdy. Went together easily both times ;-) Adjustable seat is easy to move as he gets bigger.

I was really exited by the design and promotional information for this product. So, I bought one for my 2 year old. Product arrived damaged inside a well-sealed box. The interior boxes were actually ripped partially open, and the plastic silver-painted rims were all etched and chipped. The seat cushion has a permanent dent from having been packed against the frame. The rear wheels are hard as stone and don't track well in turns...lots of slipping that causes the already wide turn radius to be hard to ignore. The rear wheels also can't be tightened fully to the frame without losing their ability to spin freely. They must be left slightly wobbly to maintain freedom to spin. Otherwise, it's like peddling through mud. It didn't help that the rear wheels came out of the box being adjusted cross-eyed. Did a mention all the rims are hard, brittle plastic?

Whoa!! Dynamite for kids! Recumbent trike exceeds expectations! Excellent quality. I am a bike mechanic - love this product. Depending on development - this is most applicable for a 4 year old.
