Trikke
No, I can spell. And it’s pronounced Trike.
John Vanderschalie, yeah, I know he’s a runner, just showed up at the Seaport Strider’s Saturday run with one of these. I’ve seen trikes before but not like this.
Once you stop laughing, this looks like it might be fun. Video on the Trikke site and shots of this rig on snowy slopes.
Could John be thinking about 30 years of pounding on his knees? –Corrie
| What’s a Cambering Vehicle? |
|
| Trikke (pronounced trike) Trikke three-wheeled cambering vehicles are human powered machines that utilize Trikke Tech’s patented 3CV technology to allow a rider to propel a chainless, pedal-less device forward without ever touching foot to ground. This elegantly simple construct provides a stable 3-point platform that leans into the turn with the rider while all three wheels remain in contact with the ground. A rider may reach speeds of up to 18 mph on flat ground, ride 50 miles in one day, and climb the steepest of hills (with practice!).Trikke’s design allows the rider to naturally engage his entire body throughout the ride. Legs are active for balancing and shock-absorption and arms punch for power-thrusts and hang on for stability and control. The Trikke 3-wheeler allows you, the rider, to feel the miracle of your own body and mind working in graceful unison. The bi-products of the ride are joy, health, fitness and a renewed appreciation for yourself and your life. |
