How well does this trike pedal through grass? How about hills and grass....different terrain in general?

The tires have good traction, so it pedals uphill and downhill well, but it is a tough work-out on little legs. I also would keep it on even terrain; tricycles have a weird center of gravity that I don't fully understand. But, if they turn the trike too fast, try and cut a corner too close, the inside wheel loses surface contact. If they are riding over uneven surfaces, I think it would make it unsteady/unstable. We keep ours on the sidewalks, and inside the house.

With the active wheel 12" diameter, vs. 2" length of pedal arm, this has 50% torque compared with, Radio Flyer 4-in-1 Trike. This makes hard to pedal on the grass, up hills, and for long rides creates a lot of stress to the kid's legs, unless the surface is strong, flat and HORIZONTAL. Any time we go for a Ride, after 50 feet trip, my grand son stops, turns around, go back to the home, drops the (12" Schwinn Roadster Trike), picks up the (Radio Flyer 4-in-1 Trike, Red) and enjoy the ride. Why: because 12" Schwinn Roadster Trike creates too much stress on his legs.This nice bike is a bike For Show but not To Go.

Not good. The limited "range of motion" of the pedals or whatever you call it is so small that it's difficult to push through tough terrain or go very fast at all. I guess that's the point of this bike. It's a "safe" bike. My son doesn't like this bike because it's tough to pedal on anything but smooth concrete.

I don't have any issues as long as the grass isn't wet which will make the rear wheels slip. Be careful of a rollover if the slope gets too steep.

It handles slightly uneven terrain well. My yard has some big holes and a few slopes that it can take care of with little problem. I might have to go over a spot or two a second time hre and there, but over all no problems.

I gave this Trike to my Grandson and he loves it. They have a grassy backyard where it seems to work fine, in spite of the uneven surface. He also rides in on the sidewalk, while not the same as pavers, there are numerous gaps and bumps which it seems to handle with no problems. I think the wheels are big enough that they should be able to handle pavers as well.

I have ridden it on dirt paths and it worked fine. The tires are clearly street tires but they work.

Yes! We live rural and ours has almost 2 years of use on grass, gravel and dirt roads. The larger wheels this one has are what you're looking for if you need it to work on surfaces like grass.

Does very well on cement, smooth surfaces, etc. Doesn't do real well on rocky or real bumpy ground. Could you be more specific about what type of terrain?

Yes, it does! My nephew could even ride it through grass- it did slow down a bit.

yes it drives on grass. I have a flat yard and have had no issues with it on the grass.

It moves by pushing on the front bar with your feet. Alternating pushing with your left then your right. I will say it is not good for hills, works best on flat paved or concrete surfaces.

It has done very well for us on both pavement and some area trails. No major mountain biking around here though so I'm not sure about that kind of performance. Hope that helps!

this is no ordinary scooter works well on dirt , grass as well as roads!it goes where the bikes goes !!

Yes it drives well on just about anything, including grass and dirt. I hope your home or room is large though, I can't imagine riding it in a room less than 20 feet long and wide enough to turn around! But it's an awesome toy.

It rides very well on grass, however, if the ground is not fairly smooth you will feel every bump. I say this because I have spinal problems and that causes me to move very slowly on grass. Slow speed makes a bump easier to tolerate.

The flatter the and smoother the surface, the better it will drive. But it does drive pretty well on grass. I got it for my nephew for his 1st birthday and we had his birthday party at a park. The grass was pretty tall. For a little quad, it has some power to it. Hope that helps!

It does not run very well on grass unless it is very, very short, like turf. It is very fast and can sometimes get out of grass if say you just barely go off road and get back on pavement quickly, but it is so small with not much clearance, so it does not do grass very well at all. I would suggest a larger scale like 1:10 or larger if you plan on running on grass.

It rides okay in grass, dirt am not to sure about so I would not be able to answer that. There's no parks around that u can go to?
