Has anyone ever tried a Trikke?

[mtblujeans]

I have seen these and am thinking about trying one. Has anyone else ever tried one?

They have the same movement to them as roller skating. It looks like fun lower body exercise!

I haven't but I'd like to. I have almost no balance (can not ride a bike). I keep hoping to find a used one at a reasonable price.

I`d probably fall off it

I see an ER visit in my future with that.

Still noone want them.. -em

Walmart, you say?? Is that in the bike section then? I'll have to look in ours!

 

[Disneyland_emily]

Yup- but they've been Deleted (Walmart term for abandoned..) so they may not have them still

but it doesnt hurt to look

I have one in my garage right now!! My son saw it last year on an infomercial and thought it looked cool. When his grandmother (my mom) asked what he wanted for Christmas he said a Trikke. Well, being the ever spoiling grandmother that she is, she found it in Toys R Us. (It was $200 last Christmas.)

My son has mastered using it and all his friends want one. You have to zig zag it by putting your weight onto one foot platform then to the other. I can't figure out how to go 10 feet on it but my son is up and down on the block with it.

Well, they don't have 'em at my Walmart and they are sold out on-line. I guess I will have to get 1 thru my own link up there. Thanks!

Wow.....a slick looking devil!

 

[mtblujeans]

Hey, the shipping is free within the US. I think that is a good deal!!

 

[mtblujeans]

Well, it came down to this or a KitchenAid heavy duty mixer. Which one do you think won?? **Sigh**

 

[Disneyland_emily]

Personally Id vote for the Mixer


Hey if our Trikkes get really low- It might be cheaper to have me send ya one...
(they currently are 79)

[mtblujeans]

Yep, the mixer won (this time)! Yes, keep an eye on them for me....I want one really bad!! Let me know how low they go. I wonder if Walmart would transfer one or two over to our store?

 

[Disneyland_emily]

Well I knocked them down to 79 yesterday and we still have oh 8...

[calypso*a*go-go]

Well, you're just going to have to fire up that new mixer and start having your own bake sales in front of the house so you can get enough money for a new Trikke!

 

[mtblujeans]

That's a good idea! I had not thought of that!!
