One of the most common questions asked of me is “Which Trikke should I purchase or is right for me?”. There really is no right answer to this. Besides price point, which is probably the biggest issue, all of the rides are up for the challenge. I am a taller guy at 6′3″ and I ride them all. Yes the T12 is by far my favorite but not just because it’s bigger. Mostly I like the riding style of the larger Trikke. The Roadster has longer strides due to its higher center of gravity and is great for those long rides. It takes less effort to ride than the T8.
I actually had a gal who purchased a T78air Deluxe who was having the darnedest time getting it to work for her. A little background on her led to the fact that she had MS and was expecting it to get worse. Her Husband had bought a T12 and was loving it. She was about 5′5″ and when she road the T12, she felt that it was effort less for her to ride.. Needless to say she swapped out The 78 for the 12 and is happy as a clam.
I think if you have the opportunity to test drive a Trikke, you should try them all. As the old saying goes—Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.
