Yes, but I'd need more details. Like how tall are you, and do you require it to fold at all? And also what sort of budget you're looking at.
Tricycles are different from bikes. You need to have some sense of balance because you need to maintain the centre of balance when going round corners. (Cornering at speed on a trike involves being on only two wheels, which is something I still find hairy after riding the thing for a year). But because the tricycle remains upright by itself, the balancing is much easier. I wouldn't say anyone can ride a trike, but the fact I can means that anyone without major inner ear malfunction should be ok.
However, if you've already learned to ride a bike at some stage in your life, you may need to un-learn how to ride a bike before being confident on a trike. I definitely recommend trying one out before buying one. If I can get Richard to tidy up his workshop for long enough to fix the old trike, I'll have two, and it'll be easy for me to tell people to come here & try it. As it is, I'm happy for people to ride my tricycle on something soft like grass, but there's the issue of getting from my house to a place with grass - without something to ride on, it's a 20 minute walk.
