Why Freedom?

Bill: "I love it because I can use it to do some intense exercise, or go over the Brooklyn bridge! How cool is that or even go to my dentist..."

EASY AND INTUITIVE-  yet performs like nothing else on the market. Freedom is a new, agile &  dynamic ride - accessible to all.


Jörg: "The Electric Trikke is the only electric vehicle that combines sport and fun with personal transport."

THE FEELING. It's a sensation of independence, elation and effortless flow that rivals a fine powder run. 

Cheryl: "The movement. Power to go anywhere, nearly effortless, yet a great workout. Is there any other competition??? Needed more FUN in my life. Trikke delivered~!"

THE ADVENTURE.  The journey is the destination. Freedom lets you push limits, discover new places and open up your world in the most exhilarating way.

THE FUN.  Just add pavement.

  

Dennis: "I’m using mine to save gas, especially to run errands around town. It is by far, the smartest, most economical and coolest vehicle I've ever found. I'm addicted to its intuitive ride. This device is way ahead of the curve and has competitors in this market beat." 

THE SIMPLICITY. Less is more. Elegant design. Clean power. Lighter weight. Quick and easy to fold up and store in a car, train, bus or workplace.   

Jenard: "I use it to get to work. I park blocks away to get the free parking."


 (You can fit 3 Freedoms in the back of a hatchback)

THE STABILITY. No matter the speed - you're steady and balanced. Three sticky wheels on the ground at all times and our patented cambering (leaning) frame give you the confidence to lean as deeply into your turns as needed. 

THE FUNCTIONALITY.  It's amazing what you can carry with you.  

Roger: "It's also great for hitting all the 'hot spots' at Tailgate Parties! When I have multiple stops downtown or at the beach, I bring my electric Trikke along. I park ONCE, and use it to get my chores done in HALF the TIME, while not having to fight the traffic or look for additional parking."

THE VISIBILITY. Step up on Freedom and you’re already 10 inches taller. That’s a major safety benefit when it comes to being seen and seeing over and around cars, people, and whatever other obstacles life throws in your path.

Chris: "Makes your commute the favorite part of your day..."

THE FITNESS. Most of us spend far too much time sitting down. Freedom lets you stand up and get healthier with every trip around town. And if you really want to get in shape, Freedom can give you an insane, full-body strength and cardio work out when you propel without the motor - using your arms, core and lower body in a fluid, low impact motion.

Get up stand up ... stand up for your rides...

“From a fitness perspective, the Trikke is low impact and works your legs and upper body … It’s an enormous amount of fun.” TIME Magazine

“It’s simple, elegant, side-to-side rocking motion delivers a thorough all-body workout.” Los Angeles Times

"Incredibly stable on high-speed turns and safe on the steeps ... Trikke blasts the upper body, abs, legs in a superb all-body workout. By using the rhythmic back-and-forth dip-the-hip motion reminiscent of downhill skiing, you can make smooth S-turns along any paved surface." Men's Journal

FREEDOM FOR WHO? FOR ALL

From the cost-conscious student to the eco-conscious urban dweller, Freedom offers a way to move that’s easy on the wallet and good for the planet. Young daredevils can push Freedom to its high-performance limits, and older riders can appreciate the fun, stable ride. You won’t ever outgrow Freedom by TRIKKE. In fact, we know of a former US President in his 90s who still enjoys a good carve on his TRIKKE.


FREEDOM TO MAKE AN IMPACT

When you ride Freedom, you're taking a stand for your health and the health of the planet. Go ahead and lead by example. And have a great time while you’re doing it.

Why launch now?

After years of development, TRIKKE has put the best of everything we know into a new design of uncompromising quality, and we are now prepared to bring you Freedom at an extraordinary value.

All the design work has been completed. The prototypes have been tested. We’re currently running a small pre-production to bring Freedom up to top TRIKKE standards. With your help we can throttle up and get Freedom into final production. We’re ready. We hope you are too.

Celebrate Freedom

 Please join us and celebrate Freedom - our best vehicle Ever. (We've come a long way since our early models landed us on the cover of TIME Magazine....)

Rider testimonials above and below are of our earlier models (pre new, improved hub motor and controller and better price)

Jenard: I use it to get to work. I park blocks away to get the free parking. 

Frank: Poetry In Motion

Dennis: This device is way ahead of the curve and has competitors in this market beat.

Jörg: The Electric Trikke is the only electric vehicle that combines sport and fun with personal transport. No other electric vehicle is so agile, fast, light and flexible. All our customers, whether for business or pleasure are very satisfied with their Trikke electric. And even if the battery is empty, you can continue your journey with body movement. No other electric vehicle offers this opportunity! We love our E-Trikke ;-)

Chris: Makes your commute the favorite part of your day...

WilsonI use the battery for tough uphills, wind, and fatigue. I so enjoy the feeling of speed when using the electric motor. It's a thrill I didn't experience on my T-8 unless coming down on hills. Difference is I can get the "need for speed" at any time.

Bill: I love it because I can use it to do some intense exercise, or go over the Brooklyn bridge!!! How cool is that or even go to my dentist...

Douglass:There is nothing like a little power assist when you just don't feel like getting out on your manual model. So much fun and great for bombing hills.

Dennis: I’m using mine to save gas, especially to run errands around town. It is by far, the smartest, most economical and coolest vehicle I've ever found. I can ride the bike paths here on the Vineyard and I must say, I have no trouble negotiating traffic while in Boston or Cambridge. I'm addicted to its intuitive ride. It turns on a dime and gives you a nickel back! The "wow" factor of passers by is also adoring. The other MAJOR factor is that you do not have to use the "juice" to make it go. You'll get a full body exercise rocking & rolling it. I like to mix it up, using the throttle to augment my body & maintain speed to maximize battery life.  Remember: if the battery quits you can still get home.

Cheryl: The movement. Power to go anywhere, nearly effortless, yet a great workout. Is there any other competition??? Needed more FUN in my life. Trikke delivered!

Roger: The Tribred Pon-e is handy for 'Major Events' where you have to find parking space BLOCKS (or even miles) away. Just unfold it and cruise (with all your stuff) to the site. It's also great for hitting all the 'hot spots' at Tailgate Parties! When I have multiple stops downtown or at the beach, I bring my electric Trikke along. I park ONCE, and use it to get my chores done in HALF the TIME, while not having to fight the traffic or look for additional parking. Just wish I could use the Trikke 'inside' the stores as well.....Humm, maybe one of those Blue Plackards with the wheelchair.....is the Ticket! Plus: while an E-Bike is a "Pain in the 'tookus'"; the Tribred Pon-e is "Up-Standing" FUN!

FAQs

How fast does it go? For a rider of 175 lbs (80 kgs) top speed will be about 15 mph (24 kph) on the flats.

How far can I go on a charge?  On electric-power alone, range is approximately 11 miles/charge on the 6.6 Ah battery that comes with the Freedom. If you upgrade to the 9Ah battery the range increases to approximately 15 miles. Some choose to get an extra battery as well to go further. Add your own carving propulsion and you could double that and get a killer workout.

Do I have to carve turns to make it go? Nope. Carving turns can make it go farther and faster and propel you without using the motor, but you can just cruise on all electric too.

Is the battery removable? Yep. You just twist the key all the way to the left and pull it straight up off the guide rail.

How long does it take to recharge the battery? A full recharge takes 4 hours from empty.

How do I recharge the battery? It comes with a charger that plugs into the wall outlet and into the battery.

What is the weight limit? We set the weight limit at 200 lbs (91 kgs). It will carry heavier riders, but we caution against heavy riders heading straight up steeper hills or doing jumps as this could damage the motor or the frame.

What is the warranty? Our warranty is one year from receipt of the vehicle for any manufacturing defects.
