Trikke

I am a big fan of human powered vehicles. Trikke has created a fun new three wheeled contraption that works like a cross between a bike and skates. You hold onto a central bar for control and push outward with a skating motion.

The trikke gives a full body, low impact workout like you would get with inline skates, but without the horrible spills on concrete. A bicycle concentrates the workout on just a few muscles.

The ad to the right shows the new electric Trikke. The electric trike gets 12 miles per charge and is great for the community to the train station or to school. The trikke provides better stability than electric scooters.

With this hybrid, you can use the power motor to scoot to work without breaking a sweat. The folding unit is easy to store by the cubicle. On the way home, you can use the second motor of the hybrid (yourself) to get in a fun work out.

A Trikke is a great complement to any cycle collection.
