A recumbent tricycle assembly for safely and comfortably riding in a reclined position includes a frame having a front portion that is pivotably coupled to a rear portion. A wheel assembly is rotatably coupled to the frame. The wheel assembly includes a pair of front wheels and a rear wheel. A steering assembly includes a left-hand grip bar and a right-hand grip bar. Manipulation of the left-hand grip bar and the right-hand grip bar steers the frame. A seat is positioned between the front wheels and the grip bars such that each of the left-hand grip bar and the right-hand grip bar is accessible to the user when sitting in the seat. A drive assembly mechanically coupled to the wheel assembly rotates the pair of front wheels and the rear wheel. A brake assembly coupled to the wheel assembly halts rotation of the wheel assembly.
