Because of the three-wheeled stance, the Trikke is extraordinarily stable.
Dual rear brakes provide superb braking power. Independently controlled, the
brakes also allow for unusual lateral control for trick riding. Rated as the
safest vehicle on the road by the Los Angeles Safety Foundation, the Trikke
provides unsurpassed safety, control and agility for riders of all sizes and
ages.
The Trikke comes in several different configurations primarily to suit the
rider's size and riding style. The Trikke.5 is small and light for young riders
or extreme riders looking to get lots of air. The Trikke.6 with its six-inch
wheels is light enough for tricks and air, but strong enough to handle heavier
riders. The Trikke.8 is fast and stable for Trikkers young and old wanting
speed, and durability.
All three Trikke sizes are made from aircraft grade aluminum, have
polyurethane wheels, and share the patented Trikke cambering mechanism, folding
mechanism and braking system.
