Product Description
The Mobo Mini is ''The World's Smallest Luxury Three Wheeled Cruiser'' for children between the ages of 2.5 – 5 years old. Mobo Mini was conceptualized with an ''eye on our children's future'' mentality: from its ergonomically designed steering system to its versatile ride, children increase physical activity while the unique steering system aids in key development for hand-eye coordination and muscle strength. Parents are also drawn to the product's sturdy material, comfortable seat, and chainless chassis which ensure no boo-boos for small fingers or snagged clothing. Traditionally, a child outgrows their ''first bike'' within the first year, but with the Mobo Mini's adjustable frame, your child will be creating memories, exploring new adventures and staying fit for years to come. Safety and reliability are extensions of Mobo's ''Wow, Wow, Wow Experience''; therefore, a free safety flag and ''never-flat'' rear tires are included in every Mobo Mini purchase. *Measured from Length of the back seat to the closest pedal*

I'm giving this a "tentative" 5 stars as I purchased it as a Christmas gift for my 2 year old nephew and he hasn't seen/played with it yet. I'll update this review after Christmas with how it went.
Price:
IMHO, the entire recumbent trike market is way overpriced. But in that context, the asking price (although possibly still a smidge high) is about what I'd expect for this type of product.
Quality:
The trike appears to be made from good quality parts (i.e., no parts looked inherently sub-standard to me). The main frame, seat frame, and steering assembly are made of a sturdy metal tubing and the welds look decent. The steering linkage, fenders, fender supports, and crank arms are also made of metal. The pedals and tire rims appear to made of plastic. Once assembled, the trike seems very sturdy with all parts properly fitting together snug and secure.
~The caliper handbrake is adjustable.
~The front tire is inflatable (rear tires are solid).
~The front rim is freewheel (braking with handbrake only - or possibly by dragging feet).
~The valve for the inflatable front tire is angled outward and can easily be accessed by a standard bike pump.
~Removable bike flag/post included.
Assembly:
The following parts came pre-assembled: 1) steering linkage/steering arm/complete brake assembly/front frame/forts/front wheel/cranks and 2) seat frame/cushions. So all I needed to do was to attach those two pre-assembled sections to the rear axle and put on the rear tires, reflector, bike flag, decals and put air in the front tire.
~In no rush, it took me about an hour to de-box, read instructions, and assemble the trike (and then another hour or so to apply the custom decals).
~Tools - Do yourself a favor and use your own tools to assemble the trike. The manufacture is kind enough to include tools but I found them to mostly cause frustration (with the exception of the allen wrenches).
~Decals - The manufacture also provides a nice variety of decals so you can customize the look of the trike. The nice thing about decals is that they are more forgiving if you misapply and need to adjust their positioning. However, if you haven't applied decals in a while (or ever), I would suggest you practice applying (then removing before it dries) one or two of the larger decals you don't plan on using as they can be a little tricky. Also, the instructions indicate to place the decals in water for a few minutes. However, the decals I received took about an hour in warm water before I could properly separate them from their backing.
Portability:
This trike is light enough for just about any adult (even petite moms) to easily lift and it's small enough to fit in the trunk/back seat of a typical compact car.
If I haven't added an update at the top of this review, then this product is still working for me as described.
