Tribred - Electric Trikke

With this dual-speed electric carving vehicle, you can cruise along at the econo setting of 12 mph, or hit the express setting with a max of 17 mph.

Cruising range is up to 12 miles on a single charge with each charge costing, on average, less than 4 cents!! Riders can use electric power alone or add the familiar Trikke carving motion to go farther and faster!

Your carving vehicle still folds up the same compact size for travel and storage the frame is the same as the green T78A-DX. Battery takes approximately 5 hours for full recharge - just plug charger into any 110 volt wall socket.

Carve turns as you ride (and still get a killer workout) while you commute or run errands - saving $ and gas!!

Trikke has developed and released an electric conversion kit for the T12, T8 & T78. It's called the "Tribred". It's a hub motor incorporated into the hub of the front wheel and is powered by a 36 volt battery pack that mounts to the steering column and has a motorcycle type throttle that allows you to vary your speed. The great thing about adding the electric kit is you can still "carve" under human power and get the same great exhilarating full body workout. The motor is optional to use once installed! You still get the great workout even while throttling because your natural motion, at least for an experienced Trikke carver, is to continue the carving action while power is applied.

Gas Scooter: A Perfect Road Runner
Author: Mark Zimmerman

Have you ever ridden a gas scooter and felt the exhilaration as the wind sweeps through your hair? Though not many of us may have ridden one, a gas scooter promises to be different things to different people -- safe, fuel efficient, low-maintenance, smart, and speedy. Add to that low insurance costs and high-quality components, and it is easy to see why gas scooters are rapidly gaining in popularity in these times of high fuel costs.

Simply put, a gas scooter represents exceptional value for money. In addition to all its advantages, it is also easy to park (no mean consideration in our crowded cities) and can move smoothly through heavy traffic. And because it is such a complete package, a gas scooter appeals to different age groups and social segments.

Wide front handlebars, solid and sleek design, sturdy floorboards, and soft seats are some of the unique features that you get with every gas scooter. Moreover, at every end, the wheel is attached to a U-turning capacity.

Accessorize your needs to the fullest by adding extra parts to your gas scooters. Add headlights, taillights, windshield and similar other devices - in short, anything that makes for a pleasurable riding experience. In addition, do you need space to store your luggage? Behind the seat, you can add a storage box to serve that purpose, too!

Most gas scooters are equipped with two-stroke and four-stroke gas engines. Unlike the two-stroke engine, which has two separate tanks, one for oil and another for gas, four-stroke engines are just like car engines and do not require any injection oil.

Owing to their lesser displacements, gas scooters are less accident-prone than their two-wheeler counterparts, motorcycles.

The principal reason for this is speed. At between 25 and 60 miles per hour, gas scooters are speedy enough to be a viable mode of conveyance, and yet sedate enough not to burn up the tires.

Even a casual online search will reveal a wide variety of cost-effective gas scooters. And you can save up to $1000 or more buying gas scooters online. Riptide LX, Sinclair LX, Trike Chopper, Wasp and Wasp LX scooters are some of the more popular gas scooter models, though there are others as well. So why wait? Check out our range of gas scooters and give shape to your dreams.

The Benefits Of Electric Vehicles
Author: Joe Goertz

Electric vehicles have been in existence since way back in 1830, and are becoming popular again with so many people being concerned about pollution and the rising cost of gasoline.

Electric vehicles have been used for many years in the form of golf carts and have also been used as fleet vehicles by servicemen such as meter readers. However, due to the continued commitment and research efforts of the major car manufacturers, electric vehicles are becoming available today that are practical for normal street use, just as a gasoline powered vehicle would be.

Electric vehicles are popular because, unlike gasoline-powered vehicles, they produce no tailpipe emissions, which are known to cause heavy air pollution. Another reason for their popularity when compared to gasoline powered vehicles is that they actually use 75% of the power generated by the electricity, while a gasoline powered vehicle only uses 20% of the power produced by the gasoline, leaving the other 80% to pollute the air, clog up car components, etc.

While there is not a huge market for electric vehicles at this point in time, there are a number of companies that produce them for various reasons, with one of the reasons being NEV's. A NEV is also known as a "neighborhood electric vehicle". These electric vehicles are used in large, gated communities usually, and are normally built to accommodate one or two people. These small electric vehicles can reach speeds of 35 to 40 miles per hour.

In addition to the NEV's that are available, there are a few car manufacturers that are producing and selling street compatible electric vehicles. The Dodge TEVan, an electric minivan built by the Chrysler Corporation, is currently being marketed to utility corporations with a price tag of approximately $100,000. Other companies that produce electric vehicle prototypes for demonstration purposes only include Honda, GM and Ford.

How an electric vehicle works is quite easy to understand. Since the electric vehicle runs on electricity, or a charge, the battery attached to the vehicle is plugged in prior to use in order for the battery to fully charge. Depending on how low the battery's charge is, and also on the charging voltage that is used to charge the battery, charging can take anywhere between three and eight hours. Once charged, the electric vehicle will normally run for between 60 and 200 hours before the battery needs to be recharged.

A limited production electric vehicle can cost up to $40,000, however, many models that are available for everyday use can be purchased for $15,000 to $30,000, depending on the make and model, as well as the options that you desire the electric vehicle to have. There also exists the possibility to transform a regular gasoline powered vehicle into an electric vehicle; this is done by using a conversion kit, which can be purchased for about $5,000. Electrical vehicles are safe for the environment, economically priced, as well as fun to drive.

Wakeboarding (1)
Author: Vigdis S. Aas

What is wakeboarding? It was created by combining water skiing, snow snowboarding, and surfing. Before it was called wakeboarding people called it surfing. Wakeboarding is when you have person being towed behind a boat, looking much like water skiing but they just a board that looks much like a snowboard.

The board itself looks like a cross of a snowboard and a skateboard. The board can float and is typically around 130-147 cm long and about 45 cm wide. They are wider and shorter than your typical snowboard.

In addition, unlike snowboards that are concave, wakeboards are bowed. When it comes to the boat, they are like some to water skiing boats, but the rope is normally mounted on a tower about two meters about the water line and the boat is usually weighted to give a larger wake.

A wake is used as ramps are used in many other board sports. To steer the board you must use a combo of direction and cutting edges into the water. A rider can move outside of the wake and then cut rabidly in towards the wake, which will allow it to launch the rider into the air. They are many techniques and cuts that are used in the sport. Over the years, people have come up with various tricks like the elephant or tantrum that has made the sport a very interesting one.

This is much like a freestyle sport and has become very popular on the shores. It has even been recently added to the X games. Both woman and men are allowed to compete in the X games. When it comes to the X games, it's much like the competition of all competitions.

It's a championship and allows the riders to get creative and they are pressured to show the judged something more spectacular than any other rider. When it comes to the X games, each person must show some kind of trick that they have mastered and feel comfortable with.

They must make their act stand out above the rest and they must take in consideration many factors when it comes to planning their show. The sport itself offers an opportunity for self-expression or art. Wakeboarding is limited to beginners, but with practice, you can be doing tricks like the pros. It is important as a beginner to not push yourself too hard. Learning too much at once can cause harm or flaws in your shows.

You will need to allow yourself to take the time to learn each trick before going on to another one, because the added pressure will become more stressful when the showdown begins. It can be a fun sport to learn, but it can also be dangerous like any other water sport.
