Commuters Beat the Gas Price Spike with Trikke Carving Vehicles, The Human Powered, 3-Wheeled Green MachineFuel-free Trikke CV, the original three-wheeled carving vehicle is becoming a preferred choice for commuting to and from work. The popular recreational sport bike propels commuters to and from work at speeds up to 20 miles per hour - without pedaling. Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 4, 2008 -- With summer driving season fast approaching, analysts see little chance of relief from the seemingly unending spike in gasoline prices that now hover around $4.00 a gallon across the nation. In an effort to protect the family budget from the gas pump, many drivers are leaving trucks, SUVs and similar gas guzzlers in the garage in favor of fuel-efficient hybrids and compact cars. Others are abandoning traditional vehicles altogether and are bicycling, jogging and busing to and from work, effectively reducing their commuting cost to virtually nothing.

"We're pleased to see people interested in saving money on gasoline and reducing their carbon footprint now using the Trikke CV for the very practical purpose of commuting," said Mr. Simpson. "The unique patented design of Trikke makes it an exceptionally easy vehicle to master and also ensures that the rider can enjoy a full-body workout without strain or impact on the joints. As well, there's no chain to get your pant leg caught in, and most models only weigh about 20 lbs and fold up so small that they are very easy to take in one hand onto a bus or train, or into an elevator. Headquartered in Buellton, Calif. just north of Santa Barbara, Trikke Tech created the three-wheeled vehicle as a fun sport vehicle that also doubles as a full-body exercise device. Riders simply plant each foot on either side of a V-shaped frame and steer with handlebars equipped with brake handles that control the dual rear brakes. To move forward, the rider carves back and forth in a motion similar to skiing. This repetitive motion causes the front wheel to pivot, or "carve" across the pavement. Fans of the Trikke CV say it combines the benefits of maximum visibility due to the rider's standing position with superb control and maneuverability unmatched by any other wheeled device. "Without a chain or pedals, the Trikke is virtually maintenance-free and because feet remain planted firmly on the frame and the 3 wheels never leave the ground, it's easy to balance" Mr. Simpson commented. "When you combine today's gasoline prices and Trikke's ease of use, you've got the ideal personal 'green' vehicle. We're all so busy these days, its great when your commute starts doubling as your daily workout. You're not just helping your pocketbook and the planet, you're helping yourself as well." According to veteran Trikke owners, even the non-athletic become comfortable with the unique locomotion device after just a few short hours. On smooth flat surfaces riders can reach speeds of up to 20 miles per hour, and somewhat faster heading downhill. When confronted with gentle inclines, the Trikke can be coaxed uphill with the same carving effect, although some effort and moderate dexterity is required. As gasoline prices continue to edge ever higher, will even more Americans choose to trade four wheels for three? Mr. Simpson and his design team are betting on it. "We're always refining the Trikke and planning new features and innovations to meet consumers' needs," he stated. "To date we've put over 300,000 fossil-free Trikke CVs on the road and you haven't seen anything yet."
