any Trykke riders out there?

[gone 4 ever 6]

Hello all. I am wanting to get a Trykke. How do you all like it and do you think they are worth the price? Also any serious injuries? My kids and sister seem to think I will kill myself on it! I used to skateboard some when I was young. Nothing fancy but....I did'nt kill myself then!

There is a thread about this in the exercise forum. I have a trikke. I love it. I'm not such an accomplished rider, but it's good exercise trying. My suggestion is to get some lessons from the place where you buy it, if possible. Get a helmet. It's not nearly as tricky as a skateboard.

Check out Youtube there are lots of trikke videos on there.

Have fun.

Hi:

I love, love, love my trykke. I got it end of March and quickly fell in love with it. It's almost like an addiction. When I wake up and it's sunny I can hardly wait to get out on it. I live in New England and there's alot of traffic and bumpy roads. It works best on flat, smooth surfaces. Make sure you get a helmet.

My first day riding it was riding around the complex where I live and these little boys were following me asking "Hey kid, what's that thing you're riding. It looks cool!". What a hoot - I'm a 48 year old kid.

I'm not very coordinated, but I took it slow at first. I haven't actually fallen to the ground yet, but I still got alot of bruises on my lower calves.

I wouldn't advise riding it down any hills because it will go too fast and that's when it gets scary for me.

Let me know how you make out and if you love it like I love mine.

Take care.

Sue

Thank you both. I will be getting one before to much longer, but will have to waite till I loose a little bit more weight since they go by hiegth also and I am 4'10. I think they look like a blast! I really can't see me doing any stunts on it.....but hey I have been known to do stupid stuff!
