And that makes it very difficult to peddle, The bike probably needs some maintenance since it was someone elses and they gave it to me since they never could ride it.My dad will look at it tomorrow and see if it's an issue that can be fixed, or compensated for.

Probably your back tire out of alignment...

Ahh...and is it a left wheel or center wheel chain drive?
If it is left, then that is the cause...
if it is center, check the brakes (trikes usually have a left brake and a right.... the left might be too tight)

Center wheel drive. The breaks are what we believe are bendix breaks, you peddle backwards to break. The front wheel seems to be bent too.


It could be the road to our road slopes to the left and to the right depending on what side of the road you are on. I'll try out that theroy when I can be in the middle of the road and not worry about cars or being ran down lol. * bike trails ect*

It also seems to be very sensitive and responsive, you even barely tilt left it will go left.


There's a lot of discovery to go on with the bike:)
