The return policy is a trap
The return policy is a trap. I ran into a quality issue with part day one and not only did I get lied to by customer service, I got the run around. After 3 days of not getting proper assistance with my issue, I requested to return the item, well with in the “Hassle Free” return period, and received several hassles. I received a damaged part day1, yet I was told if I return the trike, the refund would be minus a 25% restock fee and be charged for buying the bike while it was on promotion. I sent pictures and video of the damaged frame which they decided to overlook. If I advised the bike is damaged, why restock it? Is that why I received a damaged item because your company is making money off damaged products? Unfortunately, I made the decision to work around that issue and try to complete the trike and ran into another issue with the chain. The instructions I received were for another version of the trike and the links were again damaged. I contacted customer service for a replacement chain and on offered videos, that I told them I watched them all on YT before calling. I was told they would pay for the replacement cost, only after I paid for it. I bought the chain Amazon and I’m still waiting for payment. Buying this trike has been an absolutely horrible experience and I wouldn’t recommend this company or product to anyone I considered a mortal enemy. Terrible product. Horrible customer service. False advertisement.

Terrible product, support, and experience
Order the bike and it was shipped quickly to my home. That’s the only plus. Once I opened the box and compared the parts to the instructions book, I noticed a fender was missing, the color was a different color, and it was not as completed as much as it stated on the company website. Also, the instructions were not clear, as if the manual was for another edition of the trike that I received. I called customer service for a return and was falsely advised I would receive callback in 24 hrs. After 48 business hours I called and was told to send a picture to see if my request would be approved, although the website states there is a “Hassle-free” return policy. Requested a manager and advice I would have to send an email to get approval and if return approved, there’s a 25% restocking fee for all returns + any discounts received for my order. I resolved to fix the trike using YouTube videos and order a replacement fender. As I was assembling the bike, we found that screw on the main frame was shredded during production and couldn’t be removed so I emailed customer support with a video of the shredded screw and told that I could return the bike and receive a refund minus the restock fee and FB discount. I asked about the hassle free return policy and about the company’s responsibility for their missing parts and damaged product and was told either I keep the bike or return the trike within 30 days of purchase or there will be no refunds after that. So now I am faced with keeping the bike (which I believe I will find other issues), paying a minimum $150 assembly fee plus additional fees for damaged/ missing parts, or returning a trike (that was probably a prior damaged return) and gift Viribus with $80+ of my hard earned money. I would advice buying a pre assembled trike from a trusted shop or marketplace before purchasing from this company. Horrible experience, wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Don't purchase this bike
Don't purchase this bike. I promise you will regret it. I recently purchased six e-bikes for our vacation home. Of the six, we had four different manufacturers (we wanted a foldable bike, standard bike, tricycle, etc.). We purchased the tricycle from Viribus Bikes. I will tell you the assembly process was more frustrating than just about anything I have experienced. There are so many issues with the bike, I can't even begin to go through them. Unless you like agony and pain, don't purchase this bike.

Not Viribus if bought in UK
All the supposed Viribus bikes sold in the UK are fakes and dangerous. I've had extensive correspondence with Viribus in the States and they have no UK agents. Chinese companies are bringing in fakes from China. Viribus don't make bikes in China. Ask for a serial number, they won't be able to give you one!!!!!

Importance of bicycle tires
With all the info. that I have read, never once does it even mention anything about tires. These bikes will never sell to experienced cyclists because they know "where the rubber meets the road".

The trike is nice but it seems to pull to the left a lot. Makes riding unstable and awkward. Not sure if the frame is bent or what. I had 3 other people try it out and they all said the ride feels sketchy and unstable. My husband tipped over on it just peddling and he rides an ebike everyday to and from work. Something is not right with this particular trike. I can't even enjoy it. In actually afraid to ride it.

Dear Lori,
Thank you for sharing your feedback about your trike. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and concern this has caused. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities, so we’ve carefully reviewed your comments and the trike’s design.
After a thorough inspection, we can confirm that the trike’s structure is intact (no bending or damage) and functions as intended. However, we understand that first-time riders of adult trikes often notice a slight pulling sensation during initial use. Unlike bicycles, trikes have a unique three-wheeled balance system that can feel unfamiliar, especially when turning or adjusting to the handling. This sensation typically diminishes with practice as riders grow accustomed to the trike’s dynamics.
To help improve your experience:
1️⃣ Practice in a safe, open area to build confidence in steering and weight distribution.
2️⃣ Check tire pressure—uneven inflation can amplify handling quirks.
3️⃣ Explore YouTube tutorials (e.g., search “how to ride an adult trike”) for tips on posture, turning, and control.
If the pulling persists or you have further concerns, please contact us immediately at [support@viribusbikes.com]. We’re happy to schedule a video call to assess the trike in real time or arrange additional support.
We truly want you to enjoy your trike and appreciate your patience as you adapt to it. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help!
Best regards,
Viribus Customer Support Team

The bike was bought from a 3rd party reseller. Apparently new but returned by original buyer. Understood why after assembling. No way to adust brakes to operate safely. Finally brought to local bike shop who proceeded to explain substandard parts made repairs to operate not feasible. Paid to have brake system replaced with one that would operate. Numerous calls to Viribus customer service were frustrating and of no help. Would recommend to stay away from this brand.

At the time I bought my e-bike (step-thru Breeze) it was almost 30 years the last time I rode a bike, at 65 years old the knees don’t work as good as a 30 yo so having the pedal assist got me out of the house an into the fresh air of Maine. My wife saw how much fun I was having so we got her a Viribus tricycle e-bike.

Very nice tricycle with a few minor issues
Overall I like the design and construction of the trike but there are some things that could use development. I've been riding more than 75 years and have always done 95% of the maintenance on my bikes but I found the assembly of the adult tricycle a challenge. The first problem was the included instructions: they lacked detail and important information causing me to have to go online to find necessary information; and there were critical components such as the rear disc brake that were not installed properly making it necessary to completely reassemble the rear drive train components. The assembly instructions also had virtually no information about aligning and adjusting the disc brakes. When assembled the trike looked good and rode well. I'm 5'-9" and 200 lbs, all withing the specs of the trike, and felt the wheel base a bit short especially when making turns. The only component I didn't care for on the trike are the rather flimsy rear fenders: they vibrate a lot and are impossible to keep aligned. I no longer ride in bad weather so I'll probably remove them.Considering the price I think the Viribus is very good adult tricycle and I would recommend it.
