“Its not too often that we get to see a new innovation in mobility at our
testing centers. Trikke changed all that and the results were quite impressive.
If you try to define Trikke as a new kind of scooter you will be doing it a
disservice since Trikke is much more. Trikke offers a new kind of ride, one
that is more balance, but also demands more of a physical exertion to really
get it moving. The result is not only a fun ride but a great workout, so much
so that parents were wishing that we had a grown-up sized sample which, we are
told, are now available. To be sure, this isn't a ride-on toy, Trikke is a real
exercise experience, so be sure that's what your child is looking for.”
“Our
prize for the best product extension of the year goes to the company that
designs and manufactures the three-wheeled cambering Trikke and has now
developed a new snow sport from the design and named it Skki. The Trikke is an
ingenious human-powered machine that is both chainless and pedal-less. The
rider propels the Trikke by slaloming in a graceful, non-impactful fashion,
working the torso and arms as well as the legs to generate speeds akin to that
of a mountain bike. The best part of the Trikke is the downhill cornering,
where the cambering gives it a carving feel akin to that of a racing
motorcycle. The Skki is not a logical product extension until you see it, as it
offers an identical steering and riding motion that’s just perfect for the
snow. There’s some big advantages too – it’s easier to learn than skiing or
snowboarding because there’s a set of handlebars for turning, can be done in
any comfortable snowboot and hence doesn’t involve any ski-boot pain, it’s 1000
percent less likely to cause a knee reconstruction, and it lacks for nothing in
terms of thrills, spills and fun because you can be carving like a pro inside a
few minutes! Most importantly, experienced skiers love it too as it’s an
entirely new form of snow thrill.”
“Why settle for two-wheeled scooters when you can have three? The Trikke may
look a little silly, with its oversized polyurethane wheels and its odd,
swiveling action. But it's a serious scooter, made of aircraft-grade aluminum
(at the same Chinese factory that manufactures the popular Razor scooter), and
it offers exceptional stability and dependable, handlebar-mounted brakes.
Trikkes are a surprise hit in Hollywood, where Jennifer Aniston, Timothy Hutton
and David Spade have all been spotted riding on them.”
