Wondering what Trikke will be right for you or for someone you are thinking
of giving a Trikke to? Not to worry! We here at Trikke struggle with the same
questions everyday because it appears that everyone --- young and old, big and
small --- are riding all three Trikke models for every conceivable reason. The
dilemna of choosing a Trikke is easily solved. Here's what we recommend:
TRIKKE 5
The Trikke 5 is designed for riders from 4 to 8 years of age. It's light enough to do skatepark style tricks and more than stable enough for the
little tikes to buzz around the driveway but it is small for wee ittle people.
TRIKKE 78
The Trikke 78 is definitely designed for adults who want a fast smooth ride ---
college students and up. For riders looking for some excercise, to do a few
miles of riding, for transportation around town or to buzz across campus the
Trikke 78 is definitely the model to have.
TRIKKE 8AIR
The Trikke 8Air is designed for adults who want a smooth ride with the the pneumatic tires for better ride and traction.
High Alloy components and frame sets is above the Steel T78.
TRIKKE 67
This is great for those Tweeners 8-15 years old, Steel frame, affordable.
TRIKKE 12
The Trikke 12 is definitely designed for full gonzo adults who want the fastest,
smoothest ride ride
At the end of the day we have adults who love the Trikke 5 and kids who prefer
the Trikke 8, so who really knows. What we do know is that the larger the wheel,
the fewer turns are necessary to maintain the same speed. This means that you
have to carve back and forth more often on the Trikke 5 than the trikke 67 and
more on the trikke 67 than the trikke 78, etc. It's like watching a Great Dane running
along side a Dachshund.
