What is the advantage or disadvantage to a 24" VS 26" ?

I had also wondered about this and was told that because I have low back pain it would be better to get the 24" because the handles were higher and there would be less 'reaching' bending over that I would have to do with the 26" - And I am almost 5'6" - But I've not bought one yet because I would prefer to 'check' one out first.hope this helps someone.

A reviewer indicated the brake was faulty, unless I misunderstood. Has anyone else had brake issues? I am a 4' 10" senior and need stability.

Ive owned 5 of these and never had a brake problem. You need the 24 inch version rather than the 26 inch.

can i put an additional basket on the front?

The original Question-Asker no longer needs an answer; but other readers may. Adding a basket on the front is not a problem. Bear in mind, however, that this trike steers by turning the handle bar, not by leaning, as with a bicycle. A heavy load in the front basket could make steering awkward.
