Q: What propels a cambering vehicle? |
|
Trikke is like a fish. It requires that you ride a slalom-like course to propel it --- much in the way a fish has to wiggle to swim. Like a fish, you can propel a Trikke at 7 mph by making 5 wide sweeping turns in the time span of ten seconds or by making 12 smaller turns in the same 10 seconds. You're going the same speed in both cases merely by changing the frequency and width of your turns. In essence, the Trikke takes up as much room as you want it to. You can take up the space of a typical bicycle or inline skater or you can own the road by making big wide sweeping turns which is great fun and a great deal like skiing or surfing. Like a race car that begs you to punch it, the Trikke begs you to carve deep turns. How great is that? You have to have fun to make a Trikke go. In our experience, we have found that Trikke 3CVs are more at home in a crowd than any other vehicle including a bike. The extraordinary amount of maneuverability of a cambering vehicle allows you to ride circles in and around a crowd in total control.

Notable changes in specific models are as follows: the version 2 T6 has been scaled down from the version 1 Trikke 6 in order to be a more midsized vehicle for teen riders ages 10 through 15. The small version 2 T5 and T5ws are dramatically different from the original version 1 Trikke 5. The frame is lighter, and the foot platforms have been changed to a durable colored plastic. Along with a new colored plastic windscreen, the handlebar design is all new. Despite the laundry list of design changes that were made during our transition from version 1 to the current version 2 models, the version 1 models are still an excellent ride and fast. Q: How do I determine which version I own? Q: Can I install the T12 12 inch inflatable wheels on my T8 and visa versa? Q: Can I install the T8-air wheels on my T8v1 or T8v2? Q: Trikke T8-pu or T8-air ; what should I get? |
