Trikke 3 wheels of fitness and fun

The Trikke 3 wheeled cambering vehicle is the latest fitness ride. It is a full body workout on wheels.

Ann Sheridan, Sports Physical Therapist
The Trikke is a fabulous, non impact athletic activity. It has the same body motion as skiing, Snowboarding, surfing. When you don't have access to the snow you actually go onto the streets and train for these sports. Aerobically you are using you upper and lower extremities simultaneously as supposed to other sports like cycling, running or inline-skating you are just use your lower extremities. So with Trikke you reach your aerobic level much faster.

John Simpson, President of Trikke Tech Inc.
What I love about the Trikke is that you can use you whole body for the work-out you getting. I can start with my arms by pushing or I can let my arms relax and switch to just a leg work out, or use a combination of everything: but, abs, gluts. I can do this miles low impact and real fun!

Greg Joujon-Roche, Hollywood Personal Trainer
At Holistic fitness we have done: James Bond, Striptease, Spiderman, Rock and Roll stars, Keane Reaves we have trained them all. According to the movie type we have to get the actor in shape for the character. We try to do have a good time and the Trikke helps us in getting there. At Holistic fitness I always try to go outdoors, I'm definitely not into gyms. Take the woman's body for example, you need lateral motion to get rid of the hips and Trikke is all about using you butt!!
When we go outdoors we get them on a Trikke! We are having so much more fun, you're not working out, you're on this thing and it's so smooth and your in control of it, you keep on carving of the pounds.

can someone who has bad balance ride this? Which one?

[Jorisdl]

When you can walk and when you can hold the handlebar, then yes you can! I've had people with no bike experience riding this machine.

Whish trikke do you recommend for first timers?

[Jorisdl]

That depends on you length. Normal adults can start on a T78 or a T8. The T12 is the best pick for more skilled Trikke riders, not for the novice riders. The T67s can be a good choice if you are a bit smaller and if you have a perfectly smooth surface to ride on. The T67 comes with PU wheels (hard) the T78 and T8 come with air tires.

After checking out many videos and I knew I was going to get one; I decided on the T12. I dont see enough of a challenge to it for me to ever start off with a smaller one. Go for the biggest and badest if you know you are eventually going to upgrade. I live on a rough county road and the larger tires are worth it.

Passing on your right...I mean left...I mean right. Oh screw it, I'll get rollerblades. :)

i agree, we will be adding a movie of us in the mall (flat ground) on a t8. We reach 22 mph. we show the full GPS readout too. its awesome.

[Jorisdl]

If you practice even more then 21 is reachable on smooth concrete and with the PU wheels mounted...
