What's a TRIKKE!?

A Trikke (pronounced "trike") is a 3-wheel or "3-point" human-powered carving vehicle (3CV) - often referred to as a 3-wheel scooter.  However, unlike a regular scooter, a Trikke requires absolutely no pushing, no pedaling, and can be propelled entirely by leaning side to side!  But it doesn't stop there!  There are additional, modified Trikke models including the electric-powered Tribred series (including Pon-e and Free Rein), and the gravity-powered Trikke SKKI (AKA "Snow Trikke") to keep you carving all year round!

What can you do on a Trikke?

LOTS of stuff!  On a Trikke, you're not limited to a boring straight line, you don't have to deal with an uncomfortable bike seat, and you are not limited to any one riding style.  Whether you're using it for fun, to commute, for freestyle, exercise, or all of the above - there is a Trikke carving vehicle available!

Common Questions:

The most common question we receive has to do with Trikkes being able to climb hills.  Can it be done?  YES!  In fact, they've been charted to conquer grades of 15% to 20% or more!  Check out our Trikke riding tips section for more video and additional information on hill climbing and other Trikking techniques!

Another common question regarding the Human-Powered series concerns the width required to propel a Trikke forward.  It surprises many to find that it actually takes no more than the width of the two rear wheels to propel a Trikke forward!  Sure, a wide-open smooth road with no cars in sight might be the ideal playground for someone really wanting to carve it up - but when space is limited, a simple sidewalk is more than plenty!

"I'm too OLD!"

Age and health is another common concern for many people.  The great thing about Trikke, however, is it's a fun, easy on your body, comfortable, NO-IMPACT recreational sport that most anyone can do - even lower-limb amputees!  In fact, the average Trikker's age is between 40 and 75!  So if you are concerned about your age - remember, age is nothing more than a state of mind. Obviously if you have health concerns, we suggest you consult with a physician before starting any new exercise routine.  The Trikke requires NO twisting, NO awkward hunching or peddling, NO excessive bending of joints, and targets important key core muscle groups as you ride!  Check it out!
