Trikke

Trikke basically a perfect combination of exercise and fun. Trikke is a three-wheeled cambering vehicles which run by human power. It is very exciting to know that a rider can propel this chainless, pedal-less machine without ever touching foot to the ground.In 1988, Brazilians Gildo Beleski and Osorio Trentini created a three-wheeled vehicle for riding downhill with greater stability. They discovered that the vehicle would continue to move forward as long as the rider continued to turn and lean into each turn repeatedly. They helped found the company that now produces Trikkes, Trikke Tech Inc., based in California.

How Trikke Bikes Works

Working Principle of Trikke Trikke (pronounced trike) works on a fundamental physics principle known as the Conservation of Angular Momentum. While travelling on a slalom-like path, a rider moves his centre of gravity (his 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.
Because of the vehicle’s design, a rider can learn to maximize 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.
