About trike hub

Front hubs are tubular metals tubular with bearings on each side. Rear hubs have a freewheel on the driving side. This is a splined metal tube made of either aluminum or steel in to which you slip the sprocket. It includes the spring-loaded pawls that provide the clicking sound when cycling. The ratchet-and-pawl system allows the wheel to rotate when riding while still engaging the transmission when turning the pedals.
