Three miles is great. Far too many trikes and bikes spend their lives garaged because proud new owners expected to push too far too fast.
If you start out keeping it slow, ride to maximize comfort and keep accumulating seat time good things begin to happen.

Sweet ride, just take your time. If you had knee pain first ride check to make sure you boom is set to your xseam. Leg should be straight with heel on pedal and slight bend in knee when you are clipped in
