Want a new way to get around that keeps your feel off the ground while keeping your core, legs, and arms engaged? You might want to consider a Trikke (pronounced trike), which is a three-wheeled cambering vehicle that’s human powered. So, like a bike, but also, not at all. Understand?
Basic physics are involved in making it go — the rider moves his center of gravity toward the center of a turn he’s making. By making these turns, you increase your speed, so you can work really hard and go as fast as 18 mph, or take it easy and creep along at a much slower pace. If that’s not making much sense, check out the Trikke website, where they have pictures and video to explain it better.
There are several models available, with kids’ versions running $79.99 and the most elaborate version, the T12 Roadster, coming in at $599.99. The T78, which looks like the basic adult version, sells on Trikke’s website for $249.99. There’s also a Skki version for snow, ringing up at $899.99. Refurbished versions of some of the models are also available at a reduced price.
