You'll have to use both rear training wheels until you are skilled and
confident enough to take them off entirely:

I want to build a second set of wheels with hubs on hand.The bike now
has a cassette rear with the chain in good condition.. Can i build up
a freewheel rear wheel assuming it fits the rear dropouts & can I
swap rear wheels without causing drive train issues? It is a triple
by the way and i have heard that drive trains are finiky about
introducing new components. Will I have to ride both rear wheels for
some certain time to make sure they both work with the chain?/
thanks

New chains and used sprockets dont usually mix, or vice versa, often
its the smalest cogs on the freewheel that dont fit the chain, but if
they are training wheels, then you could buy a cheap set of cogs(a no
name brand, or from the simpler shimano lines), its better than
ruining a good chain.
Good luck

That doesn't look quite like an "adult" bike. The wheel looks like a
24". But the way they're constructed seems to make sense. I bought a
cruiser w/ 26" wheels for my Mom a few years ago. She never learned to
ride, so I picked up some Wald training wheels as well.

The wheels bolted to stamped and bent steel, and attached to the frame
at the rear wheel's axle nuts. In other words, they're exactly the
same as training wheel setups for little kids, except that they're a
lot longer and have to support more weight. The stamped steel was
useless, way too flexy even though my mom's likely under 120lbs.

So much for that. She loves her spin classes, though.
