BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

The Shift has only one speed. It is hard to climb with it.
Many users described the front wheel as wobbly.
It takes time for riders to master turning on the trike.
The reverse feature is difficult to use.
The bike can pull toward one direction on descents.

Bottom line

The Mobo Shift is a highly adjustable recumbent trike. It can be used by adults and teenagers. Individuals with disabilities and limited mobility have found it useful. The bike does not have gears. This makes it hard to climb hills on. The tires are best for pavement. A flag is included for safety. The Mobo Shift has a reverse function but it does not have a parking brake.
