Trikke T7 Review

• Originally published in TrikkeWord Magazine

In the beginning when Trikke started out, There were four main versions of the carving vehicle. We had the T5, T6, T7 and the timeless T8. The numbers represent the wheel size with a frame to match. A Trikke sized for everyone in the family.

They were all polished aluminum beauties. There weren't any color choices, except for the wheels. Over the years many of these models either changed or were replaced. With all the current carving vehicles in the Trikke line-up, It seemed now was the time to fill a gap. What gap you ask? A gap that brings performance, versatility and affordability to the entry level consumer. While there are a full line of standard fold-able Trikke's available, one model that faded into the history books, the T7, has come back to us with a whole new look.

The all-new
Trikke T7C is a fully convertible model that can accept 6-8 inch poly-urethane wheels and 8.5 inch air tires. This carving machine is presented at an affordable price from $169 to 179. Assembly requires a bit more than what we are used to with Trikke, but one needn't fret.  The Trikke T7 shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to set up (and that's being generous).

Nothing out of the norm. I removed the tube and installed a new one....

What is a Carving Vehicle?

What is a Trikke?
The Trikke is an innovative three-wheeled vehicle that takes the best of the popular vehicles of today and combines them into a completely new machine in form, function, and riding experience. The patented technology makes it possible for a rider to propel the Trikke forward without pushing or pedaling... just rock and roll!

How is it different?
Often mistaken as a scooter when seen for the first time, the Trikke immediately sets itself apart when a rider hops on and takes the first few turns. People often ask "What makes it move?"

Trikke Size Chart

Trikke Size Chart
Making the right choice when buying a trikke can really affect how well you progress. Learning to ride a trikke is not difficult but takes a bit of practice to get the groove on. If you start off on a model that does not fit you, riding can be a bit more challenging.

I had a conversation with a gal who wanted to purchase a Trikke for her grandson, she had no idea which model would work best for her family member. The best possible way to know for sure is to actually go and see one for your self and stand next to it. That is not always an option. Here is a link to a Trikke Sizing Chart to get a basic head start on which model will be right for you. Read More...
