This review is from: Trikke T78 Air Deluxe (EA) (Sports) Customer Video Review Length:: 1:03 MinsI have been looking for something different, something fun, but also something that gives a great full-body work-out. I found it all in the Trikke, especially the T-78 Deluxe with its redesigned handlebars, all air tires, sporty great looks, and a nice color. I have had the Trikke for one week and I have used it every night - it is very addicting. It is not unusual for me to ride for several hours. There definitely is a learning curve. I spent the first 2 nights riding in front of my house trying to get the movements right to make it go. Although not hard to make it roll, there is some practice needed to make it go fast and fluid. However, regardless of my experience level, I still got a work-out. The video is of me on Day 3 - still learning and practicing. Since then my abilities have greatly increased and I am now riding all over the city and picking up real good speed on the flats. Uphill is still a little hard, but...Read more 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: By Mr. Bang-For-The-Buck (Orange County, CA, USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Trikke T78 Air Deluxe (EA) (Sports) I purchased the other similar vehicle at "half the price" and had to send it back due missing parts, bad weld and overall poor quality. The other brand was such a disappointment, especially after waiting a month due to late delivery. I purchased this one, got it out of the box and noted the significance in high quality. It came on time and I put it together in 10-min. I am 46 with bad knees and can not run anymore so this is one way I can keep up with my wife (a marathon runner) without provoking knee surgery. The riding motion is a bit awkward, similar to downhill snow skiing but works the core, legs and arms. Once you get use to it (10-15 min), its a lot fun. I look forward to short breaks where I can take it out (even for 5-min) and will be scootering with my kids and doing a longer ride this weekend. The T78-Deluxe (steel version) is only 2-lbs heavier than the T8-Air (aluminum) (25 vs 23 lbs), so at my level it is a better value. I would definitely buy...Read more 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: By tShine "Chief, Cook, & Bottle Washer" (CO United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Trikke T78 Air Deluxe (EA) (Sports) Where to begin. OMG, I ordered my trikke T78 Deluxe a Monday, it was delivered on Friday that same week. Thank you Amazon for your prompt shipping.
All I had to do was snap on the front wheel, tighten a bolt. Then put on the handlebars (for that I did need some help, 'cause the instructions were for a model with different handlebars than the T78 Deluxe and I had never put handlebars previously on anything...ever). A call to Trikke Tech 15 minutes before their closing time, got me the clarifiction I needed. The handlebars were installed and the young man giving me tech support and I got off the phone with time to spare and he could leave work on time. Thank you Trikke Tech for helping this woman. Next I had to run over to a bicycle shop to get air in my tires, I did not have a tire pump with a pressure guage. I had this little gizmo for 2 full days before I got a chance to take it out for a test drive. The first time I had it out to ride it,...Read more |
