Which Trikke is best for me?

Choosing between the Trikke 5, 6, 7, 8 or 12

Wondering what Trikke will be right for you or for someone you are thinking of giving a Trikke to? Not to worry! We also 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 dilemma of choosing a Trikke is easily solved. Here's what we recommend.

Trikke 5
The Trikke 5 is designed for riders from 6 to 11 years of age. It's light enough to do skate park style tricks and more than stable enough to buzz around the driveway or in the park.

Trikke 6
Price can be a consideration, so the Trikke 6 offers an affordable alternative to the Trikke 8. The Trikke 6 has the same frame size as the Trikke 8 to handle the weight and height of both teenage and adult riders, but it has 6" wheels, and it's 3 lbs. lighter. The 6" wheels also make it 3" lower to the ground than the Trikke 8. This means that freestyle riders can get higher in the air, and less limber older riders feel more comfortable with the shorter step up to the foot platforms. Though not quite as fast as the Trikke 8, he Trikke 6 is fun, manoeuvrable, less expensive and closer to the ground.

Trikke 8
The Trikke 8 is definitely designed for adults who want a fast smooth ride - college students and up. For riders looking for some exercise, to do a few miles of riding, for transportation around town or to buzz across campus the Trikke 8 is definitely the model to have.

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 6 and more on the Trikke 6 than the Trikke 8.

Trikke 8 Convertible
The Trikke 8 Convertible is a totally redesigned Trikke 8. Customers rave about the new matt black frame and the inter changeable tyres which give you the best of both worlds - riding on smooth or rough surfaces. The Pneumatic tyres offer and extra dimension of what can be done on a Trikke 8. This is the most versatile model for anyone over 12 year old.

Trikke 12 Roadster
The Trikke 12 is about performance in the park or rough terrains. It is the largest and heaviest model, which suggests a fair level of fitness and strength. If you're the type looking for the ultimate experience then the Trikke 12 is the model for you. We'll leave age for you to decide if you are up to the challenge.
