Trikke (pronounced tri-ike) three-wheeled cambering machines are human-powered vehicles that use Trikke Tech’s patented 3CV technology to allow a rider to propel this chainless, pedal-less vehicle forward without ever needing to touch the feet to the ground.

This visually simple design provides a very stable 3-point platform, allowing the rider to lean their weight into turns while keeping all three wheels in contact with the ground.

Trikke vehicles can reach speeds of up to 29 kilometres per hour on flat ground, be ridden up to 80 kilometres a day, and with significant practice can climb very steep hills (yes it can be done!).

Super-Fun Whole Body Fitness Machine
• Trikke’s design allows the rider to naturally engage their entire body throughout the ride. • Legs are engaged for balancing, kicking into turns and shock-absorption
• Arms punch for power-thrusts, smooth ‘S’ turns, and are strengthened through providing stability and control.
• The Trikke 3-wheeler allows you, the rider, to feel the miracle of your own body and mind working in beautiful unison. The bi-products of the ride are a great sense of enjoyment, whole body fitness, health, and a renewed appreciation for yourself and your life.

Trikke cambering vehicles allow a rider to use a fundamental physics principle known as the Conservation of Angular Momentum. While travelling on a slalom-like path, a rider moves their centre of gravity (their mass) from left to right (for example) while leaning the vehicle into a right turn; this movement of the rider’s mass is towards the centre of the turn, thus decreasing the radius of an imaginary circle which is formed around the centre point of the rider’s turn. This movement of mass to the centre of the circle acts in the same way that an ice-skater increases her velocity if she pulls in her arms (decreasing her radius) while she is spinning on the ice. Because of the vehicle’s design, a rider can learn to maximise the velocity generated from making each turn and then transfer that momentum into the next turn, and so on and so on. Propulsion can be so effortless that it feels like magic, or as strenuous as a full-blown sprint. You can make the choice, and mix it up!

In the simplest of terms, you rock & roll to make a Trikke Cambering Vehicle go. An experienced rider uses the entire body in a gracefully coordinated motion that leans the vehicle into each turn and transfers the momentum of each forward thrust into the next turn and the next. A Trikke ride combines the utility of human powered transportation with the thrill of carving deep surf and ski style turns. Like in other carving sports, everyone develops their own unique, individual riding style. Each ride becomes a personal expression session.

Well, that's what our riders are telling us! Sure, you're losing weight, building muscle, toning your entire body, and making a healthier and happier you when you ride, but the key is - you're having fun! Most Trikke enthusiasts who are writing in are telling us that the reason they are in the best shape of their lives is that their Trikke 3CV beckons them to go for a ride again and again because it is so much fun! It's like being on a swing that's moving down the road, but there are infinite nuances and combinations to try and experience with each carve. There are new levels of finesse that you will discover as you ride, and new combinations of different muscles used to send you jutting ahead. There are new hills that you will conquer that you never thought you could, and speeds that you will reach that before were 'impossible'. All of this in a low impact environment with ever-changing views. More and more people are finding Trikke at the forefront of their active lifestyles.

Cambering vehicles are an excellent human powered alternative for buzzing around town, around campus, or the neighbourhood. Light weight Trikke products quickly fold and are easily carried into restaurants or onto trains and subways. Best of all, it makes the tedious process of getting from here to there fun. Ride the Trikke to work, ride the Trikke to the gym, ride the Trikke around your neighbourhood – ride it, ride it, ride it!

These exciting new human-powered vehicles have been engineered to optimise speed, performance, durability, and enjoyment for an ever growing category of world class athletes poised for competition in 3CV World Sports Organisation events worldwide (www.3cv-sports.org). Awesome for ski style events on pavement, super competitive cycling-style racing, and a breathtaking ride on dirt single track, riders gear up for a great new challenge.
