If so, the Nihola Low is your bike! Most tricycles sold on the market are cheaper \"Delta\" designs, where the two wheels are in the back with one wheel at the front. These bikes tend to have a high (unstable) center of gravity and poor cornering, and because the rear wheels aren't visible, it's really hard to steer around potholes. Like all Nihola bikes, the Low is a \"Tadpole\" design; the two wheels are in the front, the center of gravity is very low (hence the name!) and because the two front wheels steer in unison, the control and cornering is best-in-class. And, because the cargo bin is in the front, you can always keep an eye on your shopping!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe perfect grocery bike, the Low is handmade in Copenhagen from powder-coated steel and a lightweight Lexan cargo box.

And, while competing brands add high-performance tilt steering, Nihola questions the practicality and safety of such systems.
