    were u using a T12?

  3. TrikkeSLC on March 9th, 2010 at 10:03 pm:

    Hello!

    It all just really depends on what you’re planning on doing. We really like both the T8 and the T12. For us, neither is better – it just depends on how we’re riding that day.

    The T12 is great for controlling and maintaining higher speeds, plus it has disc brakes to help you stop quicker. The downside is – it’s bigger and bulkier, and doesn’t fit into your trunk.

    The T8 is awesome because it’s lighter weight, more compact, and a bit zippier.

    Both are great Trikkes though.

    Really just depends on the person. Some folks pick it up right away and are off riding in no time. Some folks take a little longer. Really just a matter of practice and having fun! We still have yet to see someone who COULD NOT ride with practice though – and that includes our mom and lower-limb amputees!

    Don’t get too disheartened. If you keep practicing you will find that you can keep up that sweet spot longer and longer with less and less effort. The key is learning how to get it to ride with a little effort as possible. We should be putting out another video with some more specific riding tips within the next week or two.

  16. zigsterpanda on March 10th, 2010 at 6:34 am:

    thanks for leading me to this technique video- much better than the other one on ‘basics’
    i have been having trouble KEEPING my sweetspot whenever any kind of incline pops up without shadowboxing myself into delirium–surely i shouldnt have to punch TOO hard to keep up my groove should i? and yes, i am talking a bare minimum incline- i feel like a total doofus and it sure is a buzz kill to when i am in ‘the zone’.

  17. luizpigeon on March 10th, 2010 at 7:12 am:

    soon i will have mine T12, for this reason im trying to learn with your class, same i dont get to understand english linguage

  18. TrikkeSLC on March 10th, 2010 at 7:26 am:

    The Trikke is actually fairly moderately priced when compared to bicycles of the same quality. The size/ model of the Trikke will determine the cost. Right now (25 Sept 2008) the costs for Trikes are as follows: T5ws $79.99, T67 $189.99, T78cs $249.99, T78 air $299.99, T78 Deluxe $369.99, T808 $499.99, and T12 $599.99. There are also modifications you can get such as the E-kit $599.99 for the 10″ model, and $649.99 for the 12″ model. Also look for the upcoming Tribred which will run $999.

    is trikke very expensive??

  20. TrikkeSLC on March 10th, 2010 at 7:59 am:

    Hmm. . . that IS a good request. Unfortunately, we barely understand English ourselves, so I am not sure that we would be the best people to “help” you.

    Brand new to trikking. Found this one to be VERY informing.

  23. TrikkeSLC on March 10th, 2010 at 9:06 am:

    Hey there guys I was wondering if you guys could do a detailed comparison between the t8air, vs t12 roadster the pros and cons between them. I have seen at least 20 posts on forums trying to decided between the too and there is no real info out there. So have ater, and watch how many views that vid gets.
