What exactly is a Trikke vehicle?
A Trikke (pronounced tr EYE k) is a three wheeled vehicle that is similar to a scooter. Its patented designed vehicle is used for fitness and recreation.
What is the difference between the 'Trikke' and the 'Carving Trike'?
Design, build quality, and, of course, price. The Trikke appears to have undergone extensive engineering throughout its development and model line. Each model is well designed to meet or exceed its intended usage requirements without excessive metal fatigue or performance limitations. Trikke is the originally patented cambering three-wheeled human-powered vehicle. The Carving Trikke does not appear to meet the same performance requirements as the Trikke. While also exhibiting an all-aluminum frame and their own patents for design, the vehicle's components appear to be fabricated to a lower strength requirement (e.g., the wheel mountings and bearings). The overall design shows significant differences that have been reported to affect rideability as well. For example, the pneumatic tires do not perform well, and are not recommended, even when mounted on an older Trikke model (which Carving Trike's manufacturer recommends). However, this is all reflected in the Carving Trike's price--roughly half that of the equivalent-sized Trikke.
What is better the power wing or the trikke scooter?
It depends. Ceteris paribus, it would be the Trikke.Why?The Trikke scooter has a higher weight limit than the PowerWing.Trikke has different versions whether for children, teenagers or adult.PowerWing looks a bit childish (well, it is for people ages 5 and up)Trikke is more for fun (and fitness). I see PowerWing scooter's usage for tricks and it does not convince me it is for fitness.
How does trikke compare to streetstrider?
Asking how they compare is like comparing a snowmobile and a 4 wheel ATV. They both serve a purpose. Each have their followers. I've only ridden a T-12 Trikke so to compare. I too am at a loss. If you are familiar with cross country skiing you can get the motion of the Trikke. An elliptical exercise machine on wheels is a streetstrider. I can tell you the twisting of the core muscles along with kicking out as with cross country skiing or rollerblading with the working of the arms, shoulders gives one heck of a workout. Both machines are low impact. The pounding the joints get from running are not there with the Trikke or the Streetslider. Either machine should be a good source of exercise. I'm just partial to one, because I own one and I know it works. I can ride for miles and miles and enjoy the time on my 3 wheels. Good luck with your decision. I know the Trikke has a cult following of some great people. I suggest you try both out and make your own decision. It is your health you will be improving. Maybe be making some new friends at the same time. FROM MILTON CROW 4-11-2010: I recently purchased a StreetStrider. It is much faster than my Trikke 12″ Roadster, which I've been riding for four years, but the motion is completely different...more akin to running or stair climbing than the gentle rocking of trikking. Both are a lot more fun than cycling due to the vantage point, and I believe this makes them safer than bicycles in traffic. To compare: Speed: I consistently trikke at about 2/3 the speed of my 26″ mountain bike. My strider can match the speed of my mountain bike, but with considerably more effort. Learning Curve: I learned to ride the strider in about twenty minutes. The trikke took about the same amount of time, but it took weeks to really get the rhythm down for cruising. Then again, I learned on a first generation T8 with tiny straight handlebars and urethane wheels. The air-wheeled T12 and T8 are much safer and easier to learn, but I still think the strider requires less rhythm and grace. Portability: A trikke folds like an umbrella, and I can carry my T12 aboard even a crowded city bus and have one hand free to pay the fare. If I remove the front wheel by loosening two hex bolts, it will fit into just about any car. At home my trikke hangs on the wall and takes up no space. The strider can only be folded by loosening bolts on the main mast and unscrewing the crank. You would then need a five-door auto or pickup truck to transport it. It cannot easily be carried up stairs, so I keep mine locked beneath the exterior stairway at my apartment. Cost: Both vehicles are made with top-of-the-line components, but the strider has a lot more parts. This makes it three times as expensive as a trikke. I consider both to be more reasonably priced than high-end bicycles or autos, and both the trikke and strider are designed for very low maintenance. Ride: Both the strider and air-wheeled trikkes give a very smooth ride, mainly because human beings are designed to absorb shock better while standing than sitting. As I've mentioned before, the view is amazing. Gears: A strider has an 8-speed Shimano Nexus. A trikke has no gears, but it does have different torque states. A trikke's "1st gear" is as a push scooter (kicking the ground with one foot), which I often use for initial acceleration, sudden bursts of speed or on busy roads where I don't have room to carve safely. Carving at low speed, such as against the wind, involves a lot of arm strength, while the power for regular cruising is mostly in the legs. Hills: Trikking up a gentle grade is no problem, but a significant grade is a challenge requiring a very wide path and a fair amount of time. The same holds true for wind. The strider can power up hills like a mountain bike in low gear. Maneuverability: A trikke is a much more nimble vehicle. An experienced trikke rider can easily maneuver down a crowded sidewalk without hitting pedestrians. A strider's turning radius is similar to that of a bike when properly ridden, but cyclists have a tendency to attempt steering with the poles rather than by leaning, which has led to the myth that striders are difficult to steer. Perceived Fatigue: I can trikke for hours without getting winded or feeling fatigue, because it travels at a relatively constant speed and uses shifting body weight as a motive force. It is easy to get winded on the strider, because it requires a lot more up and down motion and can be pushed to considerable velocity. Impact: Neither vehicle has much impact on joints accept for the ankles when riding a trikke. A T-12's decks are 13" off the ground, so it is easy to strain ankles/Achilles tendons when pushing off if one is not careful. Rider: I think people who are into dancing, walking, distance swimming and/or yoga would enjoy a trikke more. People who are into running, race swimming, stair climbing, futbol and/or basketball would enjoy a strider more. If you are trying to build upper body strength, the trikke will do more for you. If you want to strengthen your abs/core, the strider will probably push you harder in that area. Both are much, much better exercise than a bicycle, which is designed to be as efficient as possible over a given terrain and really doesn't use any muscles from the hips up.
What is the difference between a fliker f3 and a trikke?
if you want to know find out yourself. don't rely on people to answer all your questions. have you tried figuring it out, no didn't think so.
What is aTrikke?
A trikke is a type of bike with 3 wheels. To move forward, the user must move from side to side. There is a wheel at the front and two at the back, one on the left and one on the right where each foot goes in front of.
