I have the 'FAT' version(Front Air Tire) with polyurethane wheels on the back. For me this combination affords me excellent control without worrying about pebbles or other small obstacles in the road. The polyurethane wheels in the back allow for faster speeds. I ride mine on a track, located in a local city park, that's about a mile long. I endeavor to log at least twelve miles in my workouts utilizing my arms, shoulders, legs, and core muscles; a great cardio-workout! 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Trikke T8 Air Scooter (Sports) My Husband had a heart attack 3 years ago. Dr's orders.. "Lose weight, do more cardio, cut out the fats, sweets and junk.. increase water intake". He really didn't do the cardio or weight loss thing, However he did drop all drinks except water and is on a better diet. A year later, he showed no improvement on his stress test. Doc was not happy. Repeated same advice.. Last year, he started to walk with me and the dog and lost a few pounds. Got a Vita mix and REALLY started to try healthier diet.

He's trying.

Money was tight, so I found a used one. The guy had bought it new and could'nt figure out the...Read more 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Trikke T8 Air Scooter (Apparel) Actually 3.5... The Pros: Great body workout. You feel your core, legs and triceps. Very fun and easy to learn. Well made and sturdy. Easy setup. Folds for storage if space is an issue. Fun way to exercise and the rocking motion is relaxing. The Cons Very hard to go up even a slight incline. May be easier if you are a tall guy. You need a flat, fairly smooth road or sidewalk to use this. It can be difficult to ride along with bikers, skaters and runners because of the amount of side to side space it takes to carve. Very hard to ride into the wind. You may go out with the wind at your back and not notice how hard it is to get home until you turn around. The wind issue can be overcome by developing more strength but its still difficult and this means you should not stray too far from home or your car on initial runs. I'm a pretty strong and fit 5'3" woman. If you are a guy...Read more |
