TITAN Bike USA Heavy-Duty Adult Training Wheels – Patented Stabilizer Kit for 24"–27" Bicycles, Supports 250+ lbs, Original Full-Size Bike Training Aid, Not for Electric or E-Bikes

I am 64 and decided to buy a bike for exercise that won't hurt my knees. Due to age and balance issues I decide to start out with training wheels. No had the bike shop put them on my new bike. Wow they are fantastic very stable and great quality. I weight just over 200lb. The bike shop really liked them. Easy install not bulky and balance is great.The ride is so smooth and easy I love riding every day. Suggestion do get a good quality bike from a true bike shop not Amazon or Wal-Mart quality a d comfort matter.

Wonderful product!! Had hip surgery and riding a bike again will do wonders in getting great exercise and therapy!! I have balance issues and the stabilizers keep me upright with no problem. The bike shop installed them for me and they have them adjusted 1" off the ground, which works out great for me. Of course, I can adjust them a little higher if I need to. I am all smiles and having so, so much fun riding my bike!!! I have not been on a bike since I was a kid. Product as described and fast shipment!! Anyone who is thinking about getting this product for physical therapy or if you just have trouble riding a bike and need extra assistance, Go ahead and buy it!! update: 5/19/2113 I have the stabilizers now for some time. They are holding up and performing just fine. The tread on the stabilizers are holding up well also. I was researching the stabilizers again, I just realized I have the straight set and not the improved angled set. However, they still work just fine for me. Every time I go out, I check the tire pressure and pump them up if needed to the factory psi recommended pressure. This will give the optimal stabilizing support. When I want to stop and rest, I just put on the brakes and the stabilizers hold me up just fine. (I weigh 110 lbs/4 12.) As I ride down the sidewalk to the trail, people driving by in there car look over and smile in amazement. Of course I am smiling back! :). Before my hip reconstruction surgery, I use to be in a motorized wheelchair. Now I am riding a bike and walking! Because of this product, I am able to ride a bike and build up muscles that I've never used since birth (along with land pt). I can't say enough about this product! It has opened up a whole new world of cycling to me. Without these stabilizers, I would have never in my wildest dreams been able to experience bike riding let alone the bike trails in Colorado! As soon as I can I am going to post a video of my riding! I am up to riding 5 miles on my bike and I've been going out every day. As I read the posts on amazon...of course all depends on your physical capabilities if you feel these stabilizers would benefit you or not. I hope you find this review some help to you in making a informed decision! If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them. I've selected to receive reviews of this post. Well I have to go now, The bike trail is calling me!! lol.

My elderly mom fell off an electric bike two or three months ago, flying face-first onto the asphalt and banging her knee. She was so distraught, she did not want to ride again as it could have been fatal for someone her age. I assured her that we would find a solution so she could join us and her grandchildren on rides, but trikes were off the books at the time. I wanted to turn her existing bicycle into one for several reasons: - Lower cost than buying an electric trike (tricycle) - Easier transportation: Stabilizer wheels could be taken off if the bike would not fit in the car with them on - Reusability: We could just take the wheels off and use the bike normally again I searched for MONTHS for stabilizer wheels for adults and was shocked to see that not many choices were available, let alone on Amazon. The Bike USA one looked very promising. Stabilizer wheels are meant to be permanently mounted to a bicycle and could even be used on rough terrain. TEACH AN ADULT TO BIKE If your goal was to use stabilizer wheels to teach an adult how to bike, they do not help because they will not train the person how to balance. Balance is the first and most difficult requirement for learning to ride, and once achieved, pedaling could be picked up VERY quickly. How do I know? I once wrote an article for "How to Quickly Teach a Child to Ride a Bike" after training my kids to pedal by age 3.5. Search for it on the web with the keywords, "YuenX Teach Child To Bike" Balance is the first and most difficult requirement for learning to ride. This may look silly, but it really works! Take off the stabilizer wheels and turn the bicycle into a balance bike instead. To do so, take the pedals off, lower the seats so both feet are firmly on the ground, and have the adult coast along with their own feet until they have achieved balance. Only then can you put the pedals back on and the rider would likely pick up biking within hours. Stabilizer wheels are counterproductive to teaching an adult how to ride a bike. Balance is the single, most important skill to pick up first. INSTALLATION Installation of the Bike USA Stabilizer Wheels was a bit of a challenge. The printed, black-and-white guide (with pictures) was difficult to follow even though I read instructions all the time and do lots of DIY work around the house. I eventually figured it out. Perhaps the installation was more difficult because of the eBike I wanted to use the stabilizer with: the HeyBike Cityrun. The bicycle itself is excellent (a review will be coming soon), but unfortunately, the Bike USA stabilizers did not fit because of the way the bike’s rear frame is positioned. It required the removal of the rear basket and deviating a bit from the installation instructions by using larger bolts. Even then, the wheels could not be lowered to less than 1.5″ off the ground — Manufacturer recommended 0.5″. This was, in my opinion, in part due to poor design. If more holes or a sliding area could be added, more varied heights and configurations could have been accommodated. Both wheels should be equally off the ground on both sides, and Bike USA recommends the chain guard to be removed. The adult stabilizer wheels extend farther out on both sides than kids’ training wheels to help create greater stability. Once mounted, like a car, the wheels must be properly aligned or you will feel the bicycle pulling to the side or dragging. You may have to consult a professional bike shop for proper installation and alignment. My mother-in-law asked why I would not line the stabilizer wheels up to be the same height as the bike itself. Good question. Here are reasons for why the three wheels should not touch the ground at the same time: - Manual asked to be 0.5″ off the ground - I wanted my mom to continue maintaining some balance on her own instead of solely relying on the stabilizers - Having all three wheels on the ground would make it impossible to put most of the weight onto the rear tire -- Affects traction and braking when the rear tire does not bear most of the rider’s weight -- Puts premature wear onto the stabilizer wheels themselves One should note that the manufacturer does NOT recommend the product to be used with an electric or foldable bike. TEST RIDES I decided to give the wheels a test ride anyway since they were already installed. Keep in mind that the stabilizers were 1.5″ off the ground instead of Bike USA’s recommendation of 0.5″. FLAT SURFACES I found the ride to be very stable on flat surfaces, but turning took some adjustment: it was a significantly wider radius. Stop and go was straight-forward, and I felt in control at all times for as long as the route was straight. Turning, on the other hand, felt quite odd: I had to lean slightly to the side to counter the outward, centrifugal pull since the bike could not lean into the turn like one without stabilizers. It took some adjusting, but after 30 minutes, the ride felt second nature. INCLINED ROADS OR CURBS After getting used to flat roads, I wanted to check performance on a leaning road or incline like the curb. That was where I felt far less in control. Turning took considerable effort and more lean in order to maintain stability and control, making it feel like somebody was holding onto the seat post and pulling me more and more to the side. I genuinely struggled to turn and had a hard time shifting my weight in a seated position. I wanted to simulate being my mom as much as possible who would have a slower reaction time and less agility. When I got closer to the curb, I felt the bike tipping over and was forced to get off before I would crash. What happened? After a few more minutes, I figured it out. First, before turning, the rider must lean into the turn. Second, slow down. Because the bicycle could not lean much, it was imperative to turn slowly and early in order to maintain some sense of control. Third, the stabilizer wheels were probably too high off the ground, making it difficult to regain balance once the rider was already tilted too far away from the turn. I do not see my mom being able to handle this correctly. ROUGH TERRAIN The eBike handled rough roads very well with the stabilizer wheels on. Would I take it riding down a rocky mountain trail? Heck no. But for unpaved, fairly flat terrain, they worked quite well. BUILD QUALITY All the components felt VERY sturdy and well-made. Just be sure not to overtighten the bolts. Manufacturer rated the stabilizer wheels for riders up to 250 lbs. FINAL THOUGHTS The Bike USA Stabilizer Wheels for Adults was a strong, well-made product that could help keep an adult stable during straight, flat-surfaced riding. Turning and riding on uneven terrain required the rider to make adjustments and move differently than a two-wheeled bicycle. Unfortunately, they did not work with my mom’s electric bike due to a combination of not correctly fitting the bicycle frame, being too high off the ground, and my mother not having the required agility and reaction times to safely stay on. I will be getting her a trike (tricycle) instead and see how that goes although I expect challenges with turning still. A good friend of mine did say that his mom actually fell off a trike, too, during a sharper turn. So, caution should still be exercised. For younger adults, adding stabilizer wheels to a compatible bicycle could mean a world of difference for someone with balance issues. The Bike USA worked well, and with the right amount of training and adjustment, it could work very well for those riders. Be sure to slow down and lean early into a turn.

Es un producto que le está ayudando a mi hijo a recuperar su confianza y andar en bici después de un accidente.

After years of not riding due to MS and related issues I tried these stabiliser wheels to give me stability and confidence. They were easy to attach and after a practice around my neighbourhood I'm riding again.

Had these wheels connected to my bike. Taken it for its first ride and I’ve found it very hard to steer the bike. It’s going to take me a while to get use to it.

Yo dudaba en comprar por el precio, pienso que es caro, pero me arriesgué y las compré, la verdad no me arrepiento, es un buen producto. Las quise para mi mamá que tiene 74 años y quería andar en bicicleta otra vez, así que se las coloqué a una bici usada de 24 pulgadas y funcionaron bien, ahora mi mamá anda en bici y verla feliz no tiene precio, lo recomiendo de verdad.
