Commuting and Running Errands

Choose the Trikke EV because it is so sensible and efficient; keep using it every day because it's so fun.

It is uniquely stable and maneuverable so you can confidently flow past slower traffic or obstacles, and it's easy to park right at your destination (with no parking fees). You will avoid wrinkling or getting grease on your clothes thanks to Trikke's standing riding position. Carve side to side for Trikke's exhilarating skier's feeling, and get an enjoyable, low-impact workout on your way - and let the breeze keep you cool.

You'll wonder why so many commuters still insist on dragging 4000 to 6000 unnecessary lbs around with them to get from here to there - getting stuck in traffic and fighting for parking spaces (...so yesterday when there are solutions like Trikke EV today!). Plus, you will be saving thousands of dollars that otherwise would have been spent on gas, maintenance, insurance and parking.

Leisure

We hear it over and over again: "This is like a magic carpet; I don’t want to get off!"
Hours can be easily spent zipping around on the Trikke EV - for the pure enjoyment of the ride. Our Austrian partners have coined a new word for the sensation: "spazierschweben" which basically translates into "walking-floating." Add to that top speeds of up to 17mph, and the ability to perform stable, carving turns at all speeds and you have an incredibly satisfying and unique experience that you will not easily duplicate or forget.

 

 

 

 

Adventure

Hop on a Trikke EV because of its efficiency, and come home with the thrill of an adventure.
You'll be praising the pavement gods for filling your world with perfect "groomers" that can be carved and slalomed with abandon. Little side trails will beg to be explored. You will see things that you have never seen in your own town thanks to being up higher on Trikke's raised foot platforms, and just being out in the open air floating along at whatever speed you find appropriate.

And... this is an adventuring machine that can easily be tossed into the back of a car, bus, train, etc to adventure further and further. Please - share your adventures with us!

Fitness

And yes, the low-impact fitness benefits from the Trikke EV are true. If you are not adept at propelling Trikke carving vehicles yet, not to worry. With the twist of the throttle you are up and rolling, and to engage your lower body you simply turn - getting into a nice rhythm - like a skier. Your legs will bend and extend naturally as your weight moves from side to side. If you want to engage your upper body, you must learn to drive the vehicle forward by punching the outside handlebar through each turn (only while using very little or no electric power, or while climbing steepish hills). If it is fitness you are after, you can find it on the Trikke EV, all while having a really fun time, and while you're getting somewhere. Great for multi-taskers.

36V Lite - Patti Smith

"I like to mix it up, using the throttle to augment my body & maintain speed to maximize battery life. This device is way ahead of the curve and has competitors in this market beat."

48V - Jörg Riepe

"The Electric Trikke 48V combines as only electric vehicle sport and fun with personal transport. No other electric vehicle is so agile, fast, light and flexible like the Trikke 48V, with a range of up to 40 kilometers! All our customers, whether for business or pleasure are very satisfied with their Trikke 48V. And even if the battery is empty , you can continue your journey with body movement. No other electric vehicle offers this opportunity ! We love our E-Trikke ;-) "

36V - Roger Wildermuth

" I'm 'retired', so don't have to commute to work daily. But when I have multiple stops or places to go downtown or at the beach, I bring my Pon-e along. I park ONCE, and use the Tribred to get my chores done in HALF the TIME, while not having to fight the traffic, look for additional parking, and walk to all the shops. Just wish I could use the Trikke 'inside' the stores as well... "

48V - Cheryl

" John, you and G are inspirations to all of us Trikkers. I've had my Pon-e (48v.) since last Oct. and living here in Topsfield, Ma., can hardly wait for warmer weather to ride it. I rode up to the post office on it yesterday and loved it sooo. 6 above 0 and 2 feet of snow on the sides of the road. Love you guys so much for making my dream a reality. I've always wanted to fly or ride a magic carpet or ski on pavement...my Pon-e makes that all possible. Love my T78 deluxe, T8 air, and T8 ver. 1 also.

Facebook Fan Testimonials

Björn Björnsen

" Because it is a serious commuter and you do the world a favour riding it to work.
Second it is great fun and you ride curbes and slopes no other vehicle can do. "

Roger Wildermuth

" Taking my dogs (furry kids) for their daily walk/run is a breeze with the the Tribred Pon-e. A 'straight line' course is possible at a slow 'walk' or brisk 'jog' and gets their exercise; the disc brakes make their frequent 'sniff/relief' stops convenient. The DOWN SIDE... they 'protest' loudly, if I "Leave home without them"!!!!! "

Bill Valocchi

" I love it because i can use it to do some intense excercise, or go over the brooklyn bridge!!!
How cool is that ? or even go to my dentist... "

Roger Wildermuth

" While an E-Bike is a "Pain in the 'tookus'"; the Tribred Pon-e is "Up-Standing" FUN! "

TRIKKE ELECTRIC VEHICLES

C O N S U M E R    W A R R A N T Y

Trikke Tech warrants their electric vehicles(including all components)
against defects in material or workmanship as follows:

Frame - 24 Month Limited Warranty
Trikke Tech electric vehicle frames include a 24 month limited warranty covering geometry defect and structural failure and 6 (six) months warranty coverage for rust or paint defects. Trikke Tech reserves the right to replace individual parts or the whole frame. Individual parts may not match the original frame color. Failure originated by misuse, accidents or abuse are excluded.
Other components are warranted for 12 months. In the event of a defective or faulty part, Trikke Tech will ship the replacement part free of charge and Customer will be responsible for performing the replacement. Exclusions: parts subject to normal wear and tear. Brake lines, brake pads, tires, inner tubes, bearings and trim components will be replaced for claims within the first 30 days of purchase. These parts are not covered by any additional warranty.

Lithium-ion Battery - 15 Month Limited Warranty

Lithium-ion batteries originally installed on a Trikke electric vehicle or a replacement battery purchased from Trikke Tech, its distributors or authorized dealers are warranted for 15 months from the original purchase, with full replacement within the first 90 days, and partial (pro-rata) replacement after the initial 90 days of use. A suspect battery must be shipped to Trikke Tech for warranty in proper DG (Dangerous Goods) packaging, the Customer being responsible for shipping and costs. Trikke Tech will then check the battery and either repair or replace it. The battery will be returned to Customer at Trikke's expense. Pro-rata replacement takes into consideration the full number of months passed since the purchase date and divides the base retail price of a new battery by 15 (fifteen). If a new battery is required, Customer will be expected to pay 1/15 of the retail cost of the battery for every month of use (if after 90 days of use). Purchases of replacement battery under pro-rata warranty must be directly from Trikke Tech. The new battery will be warranted with a new term of 15 months under the same conditions described above. Important facts about the aging of lithium-ion batteries: The current technology of lithium-ion batteries presents a natural degradation (aging, loss of capacity) even if not in use. The level of degradation will depend on factors like discharge current (fast or low riding speed setting), temperature of operation/storage and the number of cycles of discharge.
Trikke Panasonic batteries should retain a minimum of 70% of the original capacity by 15 months and 300 recharges if vehicle is operated at express speed (speed 2) up to 500 recharges if operated at econo speed (speed 1), at temperatures ranging between 50-100 F.
Exclusions: Damages to the battery caused by short circuit, moisture, impact, perforation, abuse or marks of tampering with the battery pack will void the above warranty. Batteries kept discharged for a long period of time may not recover working capacity and will be permanently damaged. Failure to keep the battery properly charged will void the warranty.

Electrical Components - 12 Month Limited Warranty
Electrical components, including motor, electronic controller, throttle and associated parts (excluding the battery) carry a 12 month warranty from the original purchase date. Failure originated by water, misuse, accidents or abuse are excluded. Warranty is limited to the replacement of the part. Defective parts must be shipped to Trikke Tech or presented to an authorized service center for analysis prior to replacement.

LIMITATIONS ON WARRANTY
THE ABOVE WARRANTY IS THE ONLY REMEDY PROVIDED BY TRIKKE TECH FOR ITS ELECTRIC VEHICLES. NO OTHER PARTY HAS EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AUTHORITY TO CHANGE THIS WARRANTY IN ANY MANNER. TRIKKE TECH DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
