The Trikke Scooter is a unique vehicle that puts together the decks of a scooter and the handles of a bicycle. However, contrary to the bicycle, it has three wheels hence the name “trikke”. The Trikke Scooter or simply trikke makes use of the Trikke Tech’s patented technology that allows the rider to propel the device without ever touching the ground. While the device may seem easy to use, it needs a lot of practice to use the device effectively. People who have been using have had a significant amount of practice so they are able to accelerate up to as much as 29 miles per hour and even go uphill.
The Trikke Scooter was named as one of The Best Inventions of the Year by Time Magazine in 2002. It gained much popularity after it was featured in the cover of the global magazine. Since then, the company began to distribute the product to 40 countries around the world. Trikke continually develops the technology behind the vehicle by enhancing the propulsion, ergonomics and the performance. In 2005, Trikke launched the Skki which was made specifically for snowy areas. In 2009, the company launched the Tribred which employed the electric power for easier and more effective mobility. Today, Trikke continues to dives into the possibilities of physical science while incorporating and encouraging physical activity among individuals.
The Trikke Scooter offers a lot of benefits to riders especially now that the price of oil is skyrocketing. The Trikke Scooter also burns up to 1000 calories per hour depending on one’s speed. It also offers the benefits of brisk walking minus the pain in the legs. At the same time, the trikke works on your upper body and abdomen as well. It is a great way to get to places and work out at the same time.
