What is it? The Trikke (pronounced “trike”) is a human powered, three-wheeled cambering (carving) vehicle that utilizes conservation of angular momentum to allow a rider to propel forward. The rider alternates leaning side-to-side to move forwards. The area needed to move forward is roughly the width of a downtown sidewalk (1-1.5 m).
