Does anyone else on here ride the Trikkes? I just picked one up and am having a great time learning the movements to keep moving. Plus, its a great workout. Upper body, hips, abs and legs all at the same time. Check them out at

TRIKKE 3-point Carving Vehicles

This looks like a blast!

Boy, that looks WILD, Dave!!! It doesn't look motorized so my fear for your body is lessened!

And of course, you DID buy all the padding gear to go along with that?? Have you had any spills yet??? (Do the words "spring chicken" mean anything to you???)

Just kidding: it looks like it would be a fantastic time--you enjoy the heck out of it~!!

Thanks, I am very much a beginner, but it is a real workout. I have heard of calorie burn of 500-700 per hour of riding at a moderate pace.

Make33, I do have a helmet and padded gloves, so my first spill wasnt much at all. Gotta watch out for the drainage ditch at the end of the driveway...LOL

Dave:

Looks cool! Can you tell me approximate cost to get one? Do you think someone riding one looks like they're DUI?

Sue, they start around 260 and go up to around 575. Not only do you look DUI when on one, but you kinda feel that way too.

Dave:

I checked it out some more and I am very interested. However, I'm kind of clutzy. Is it difficult to learn how to ride? It looks like great fun. I'm thinking that I could buy it and ride it along the Cape Cod Canal this spring and summer.

Please let me know if your average clutzy person would be able to learn to ride it?

Thanks.

Dave that looks like SO much fun...I just got back from skiing & this looks like the fun w/out the cold and lugging gear around.

I've turned into a clutz lately & after showing DH the site, he said I could get one if I up my Life Ins Policy :smile2:.

Believe me, if I can do it, anyone can. I am not good yet, but give me a few days and I will be cruising everywhere...LOL

Dave01:

Thanks. I'm going to save up and order by the end of April. I'll make sure I get a helmet too.

Let me know how the calorie burning goes.

That looks fun, and like a good way for me and my clumsy butt to break or severely injure some part of my anatomy!

[luluc 6]

I see a UTube Moment in my future if I get one of these:) I love the idea - just afraid I'll be famous for cracking my butt ... I'll be a glutten and probably order one - I'll send the link to utube after my first run:biggrin:

WOW, now that looks like fun. I went to the website and the have a contest where they give one away once a month. Wish me luck. Only thing no dealers near where I live, anyone know the price for one of these. It looks way awesome. Thanks for the heads up!!!!!

Try going to TRIKKE 1-877-2TRIKKE - As Seen on TV - Sales, Service and Support!

They have the prices and shipping options on there and are a good bunch of people to deal with. Plus they are all riders and can give tips for success.

I almost bought a trikke once! I used to see them all the time when I lived in FL, but haven't seen them since I moved to TX. I was just thinking about them the other day, wondering if they were still around...
