Riding Trikke is sort of cross between a scooter and roller blades. Pretty nice workout as it is it comes with a few limitations. First of all I cannot manage to make it through most inclines but the milder and shorter. Anything steeper and I end up pushing it. Even when you look at instruction DVD video clips, the incline they ride up is made to appear steeper by angling the camera... Another thing, with polyethylene wheels you need to have really smooth roads as all the bumps transfer to your feet and hands. Thirdly, although most of workmanship appears pretty good, the front wheel is not aligned with the handlebar and the angle is not adjustable. Not a major thing but annoying on occasion.
Despite these flaws we take our Trikkes quite often for a spin in the neighborhood and enjoy it.

It took be a bit to figure out how to make it go, I get it now but I'm probably going to have to return it because I thought I could just hop on it on the side walk and scoot around town, and it just doesn't work like that, I would have to drive somewhere that has wide flat smooth cement to get good use out of it, but because it doesn't fold I can't do that, because it won't fit in my car. So anyway, this is a good product, its...Read more
