He was a peanut farmer who became the leader of the free world. Then he decided to carve up the free world on a Trikke, along with his wife, of course. Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter might be the most famous carving couple to date. Being President of the United States and First Lady will do that.
"To keep in shape, Rosalynn, 84, and Jimmy, 87, try to ride every day on their Trikkes," said a recent article in Time Magazine.

Trikke's, a combination of a bike and a scooter, have arrived and are being implemented in the Winnebago High School physical education curriculum. The purchase of the Trikke's was made under the auspices of the Carol White Physical Education grant.
Helping students to meet both state and National Standard for Physical Education benchmarks for learning, the scooter-like apparatus brings "a wow factor" to a PE program, and provides a challenging workout for students, in a unique and different fashion. Trikke, a revolutionary body fitness machine, is being used in physical education to provide a robust workout, with positive interaction, fun and exercise, while simultaneously helping to build confidence in agility and to enhance coordination skills.

Show Your Ride You Love It! The more we ride our Trikke Carving Vehicles, the more we fall in love with them. The more we fall in love with them, the more time we want to spend with them. Unfortunately, the more quality time you spend riding your Trikke, the more love and care your vehicle will need to stay in tip top shape so that you can get the ride you deserve. Regular maintenance is the key to not letting your vehicle fall into disrepair, making it harder to ride. Check your tires regularly, oil squeaks and groans as soon as possible with some 3-in-1 oil, NOT WD-40! If your vehicle starts to feel a little loose, check and tighten it down before it becomes a problem. Care for your Trikke Carving Vehicle, and you will be enjoying it for years to come. |

Trikke Brake Cable Trikk Tip From: trikkeandy.com Written By: Trikke Andy Keeping your Trikke brake system working properly is a must. Avoiding any pinch points can greatly improve the reliability, performance and life of your cables. The tightest point on any vehicle brake system is usually the cross-over made at the top of the front structure. To eliminate this high stress point, re-route your brake cables so they cross over at the bottom instead of the top. This will avoid stressing the ferrules, damaging the cable ends and give your carver a nice clean look. Story Link Click Here |

So Cal carvers give back at group rides! 1.19.2012
Written by: TWM News Desk
At last year's inaugural MLK, Jr. Ride of Long Beach, event organizers TrikkeWorld and SouthBay Trikke decided to charge riders an entry fee of one can-food item, to be donated to the Food Bank of Southern California.
[See video at the end of this story.]
"It was an effort to make the event meaningful and a reflection of the spirit of Dr. King's dream," said Randy Boyd, publisher of TrikkeWorld. "It ended up turning into something much more meaningful than we ever imagined."

As Trikke Tech President and CEO, John Simpson, told Discovery News at CES, "Originally, [co–founder Gildo Beleski] was looking for something stable just to bomb hills. He had no idea that this design would propel using your body. And now that the motor and battery technology has gotten so good, it was just a natural to plug them into our frame system."
That need for downhill stability led to a three–wheel design, which eventually lent itself to either a great workout or just a great ride. To exercise the upper body more, push off with a simple leg pump or the cooler looking rock forward method. Weave the handlebars back and forth until you build enough momentum. Then evolve the quick swiveling into a rhythmic swaying motion that mimicks carving like a downhill skier.

Riding Tip: Don't get TOO comfortable! As we get older, humans tend to fall into patterns of repetition and habit. You go through your everyday life on autodrive, performing each task just as you did the day before. Do not let this happen with your rides on your Trikke carving vehicle. The beauty of riding these vehicles is that there is no single way to get your carve on, everyone develops their own system for learning and riding. Once you have developed your system, though, the fun begins. The Trikke carving vehicle is a uniquely stable platform that allows for many workouts, riding positions, or just funny poses as you go through a crowded area. Once you have established your basic workout and riding positions, start experimenting. As you feel more secure on your vehicle, move your feet forward or back, just a little at a time and don't sacrifice your balance. Start pushing more with your feet if you notice that your arms seem to be doing most of the work on your rides, or vice versa if your legs are getting tired too quickly. Also, try adjusting how much you bend your legs and how deep your carve is. Remember, the fun in growing is learning and experiencing. Your Trikke can grow with you and be a rich part of those experiences. |

How to Assemble your Trikke T7 Tip From: trikkeandy.com Written By: Trikke Andy The all-new Trikke T7C is a fully convertible model that can accept 6-8 inch poly-urethane wheels and 8.5 inch air tires. This carving machine is presented at an affordable price from $169 to 179. Assembly requires a bit more than what we are used to with Trikke, but one needn't fret.

Fred Welch – Shredding snow with the Trikke SKKI 2.23.2011
By far, the largest part of our business is our wheels, so building awareness and brand recognition in the ski industry of all places is one of our toughest jobs as a company. In my opinion, it’s an ongoing battle to for the soul of snow sports! ...but don’t get me started on that. Because not every resort allows our very cool ride to slide down their hill, it’s no surprise that serious carvers will do some travelin’ just to be able to take their favorite sport from the streets to the slopes. I can relate, cause that’s just what I’m getting ready to do.
