Anyone have a TRIKKE?

[tsagona]

I just bought one and should be getting it tomorrow. It looks very cool and I'm very excited about it. I was just wondering if anyone had one and if you enjoy riding it. How big the learning curve is? And if you find it gives you a pretty good workout?

I know there are big TRIKKE groups out there so I know some people must really enjoy it.

Thanks,

Tracy

This looks fun How exactly is it powered? It looks like you just lean back and forth? Does it go uphill, also? How can it be powered from just leaning? I'll look around on the internet to check this out!

oooh...something else to buy....

I think it kind of looks like a roller blading motion. There were a lot of tutorials on utube.

I don't have one but I used to see them all over the place in Austin and I always thought it looked so fun and awesome! I look forward to reading about it once you've given it a whirl!

That's what they're called!!!

They used to make (something vaguely resembling these) back in the late 80's.. I had one (along with everyone else).. I couldn't remember what rediculous thing we called it.. it was a TRIKE!

Sorry to jump in without any answers (but I was thinking on that one for like a year

This one you linked too sortof looks like those old big-wheel-looking things from the 70's/early 80's.. you sit on it and and move the handle bars from side to side (think like you would with a steering wheel) and it magically made the things move FORWARD ..

Great toy

Hi Pebblesus!
Did it move forward UPHILL, too? I'd like to test drive one here(Portland), so I will check if there are any around here. I don't want to just order it without any clues on how to operate it.
