What's Trikke

Commute

Sitting in traffic is frustrating and time consuming at the best of times. Unfortunately it's a growing problem as more and more cars take to the roads. The Trikke lets you sail past static cars on the daily commute to work and is a cheap and efficient way of moving between locations during the working day. When it comes to parking, there's no more queuing for a car park spot. Your Trikke carving vehicle will simply fold up for convenient storage until you're ready to head for home. All this convenience and cost-saving comes at no cost to the environment. Trikke lets you beat the traffic without creating pollution, or using up priceless natural resources.

Fitness

Easy to use and suitable for riders of all ages, Trikkes are about fun and convenience. And they offer so much more. If you choose the human powered Trikke, you'll be amazed at the benefits to your health and general well-being it can offer. Tests prove that travelling on a Trikke at 15 kmh allows you to burn in excess of 500 calories every hour. That makes it a highly effective form of exercise, burning more than 100 calories per hour more than jogging, working out at the gym or at an aerobics session. Even better news is that increasing the average speed by just another 2.5 kmh means you burn around 700 calories an hour, far more then even than cross country skiing. In doing so, the Trikke works all the key muscle groups effectively including upper leg, buttocks, upper arms and shoulders, so you will see significant changes in your body shape too when you make regular use of your Trikke. Not only is the Trikke a great way to enhance your health and general well-being, you can enjoy a sense of freedom that gym-based exercise doesn't offer and the ability to travel quicker and further than you can with a jogging regime. Trikke riding is also easy on the joints, allowing you to build up your core strength and flexibility without putting undue strain on your knees, ankles, elbows and shoulders. "I stopped running to protect my knees, and my Trikke is a perfect low impact workout." Scott Shepard, 52 (Memphis, TN)

Family

Above all else, Trikke is fun and can be enjoyed by all the family. The low impact exercise you can enjoy on your Trikke makes it a great recreational activity for the family and adds fun and variety to the family walk. Trikkes can be adapted to fit all shapes and sizes and the range of models and looks means that you can personalise a Trikke to your own style. Trikke can easily fit in the boot of the car, so you can take them with you on a day trip or a family vacation. With the Trikke carving vehicle, the older members of the family can keep up with the kids, as they burn up their surplus of energy!

What's Trikke

The Trikke (pronounced "trike") is a human powered, three-wheeled carving vehicle that utilizes conservation of angular momentum to allow a rider to propel forward. The rider alternates leaning side-to-side to move forwards. Trikke Tech's patented 3CV technology allows a rider to propel the chainless, pedal-less device forward without ever touching foot to ground. This elegantly simple construct provides a stable 3-point platform that leans into the turn with the rider while all three wheels remain in contact with the ground. A rider may reach on flat ground and climb the steepest of hills giving the rider a low impact full body workout.
