Combining the look of a scooter with the feel of a skateboard or snowboard, the Trikke T78 three-wheel cambering vehicle offers a whole new way of propelling yourself on wheels.
The T78 is equipped with the company's patented 3CV technology, which provides a stable three-point platform for the rider. To go forward, simply lean (or carve) into the turn as you would on a bike or snowboard. The entire T78 will lean with you, creating enough momentum to cruise around the campsite, neighborhood, or pretty much anywhere else. Not only is it a blast, but it's also a great workout, too, keeping your legs and arms active with every movement.

The T78 is designed to be responsive and versatile in all carving conditions, with a heel kicker, molded foot platforms, and a durable steel frame. The T78's 7-inch poly rear wheels, meanwhile, provide stickier contact to the pavement for a smoother ride. As your skills improve, you can upgrade to 8-inch air wheels, which are better for climbing hills or carving over varied terrain. Finally, the scooter includes an easy-to-use buck-knife folding mechanism for easy storage and transport.

30 of 30 people found the following review helpful:  Fun to ride, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Trikke T78 Scooter (Sports) I am glad to have purchased this item. Works well for my needs. Folds up and fits in the back end of my truck with ease. I can get it out during lunch and do a quick run around the parking lot at work. I get home from work late, at dusk, and hop on the Trikke for a quick 30 minute ride/workout around my neighborhood. Two drawbacks are: need more replective material for riding at night for drivers to see me; need to get the upgrade for pneumatic rear wheels. Holy buckets, talk about feeling every little bump in the road. If the the road is not cement, my hands and feet go numb after a while due to the vibration of the road. 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful:  Great fun!, Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Trikke T78 Scooter (Apparel) Riding the Trikke is great fun and great exercise. I take it for a spin in our neighborhood from time to time, but seldom more than that due to the need for a hard and even surface for a smooth ride. I also find the walkways a little too narrow to drive on as you have to turn the front wheel side-to-side to keep up the speed. It may get better with some practice though. After a 20-30 minutes ride I can feel that my muscles have had a good work-out so it is worth it.
I often have my 6-year old daughter standing on the scooter in front of me. Probably not something that is recommended, but with proper safety equipment and slow speed this has become something we enjoy doing together. I watched the video about how to ride and it took me about 30 minutes of trying before I got to a point where I could get a steady forward motion without using my leg to kick. I can now ride with my legs on the scooter and move forward by shift in balance and turning the front wheel...Read more 23 of 25 people found the following review helpful: Trikke T78, By Ken S. (san diego, ca) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Trikke T78 Scooter (Sports) While the listing showed a T7, it was in fact a T78 (I also double-checked with customer service). The price was great and the shipping was free. The product was delivered within the estimated time frame given. One thing to remember... You do have to assemble the Trikke. It's minor stuff, but you still need some basic skills to do it.
Note: There is a Trikke TV web site that offers the T78 for a cheaper initial price. However, once you add shipping and tax, it's more expensive. |
