Pick a triker bike that will fit you. Some fit children only and some are better for adults. Some have weight and height restrictions. Some have a maximum weight of 175 lbs., 220 lbs. or 300 lbs. Check on the dimensions before buying a triker bike.

Step 4
Determine what kind of steerage you would like on your triker bike, direct or linkage. Direct steering has two handlebars, each connected to the front wheel. When you want to turn, lean towards that side. The linkage has a single handlebar connected to a pivot point and then connected to the wheels.
