Things to consider when buying a tricycle in Nigeria
There are factors to consider when buying a tricycle in Nigeria, they include budget, performance, fuel consumption, availability of spare parts in your locality, brand, and specifications.
- Budget: your budget goes a long way to determine the tricycle you can afford. I always advise you to buy a good brand with good reviews and specifications so you regret it after buying it.
- Performance: Always go for a tricycle with enough power that can serve you well.
- Fuel consumption: This is very important if the fuel consumption is very high, you won’t make much profit.
- Availability of spare parts: If you own a product without spare parts, that means that it will be useless when any part breaks down.
- Brand: Selecting a good brand with good reviews from users is a good start.
