Trikke Releases Great Pon-E Video!



Hot off the press! Trikke has released an awesome marketing video giving us all a great look at the fun and benefits of the new Pon-e. Check out the video and see the fantastic changes from the traditional tribreds:
* Disc breaks like the T12's for superior "stop-ability"
* Hot Swap batteries remove in a pinch.
* Lighter, more portable, and maneuverable.
* Ride up to 20 miles in "eco-joy" battery powered freedom.
* Lots of hot colors.

Read more about the Pon-e on this blog here.

Trikke Pon-e Makes Time Magazine



On the stands Friday but online now, Time Magazine has a piece on the new Trikke Pon-e. Perhaps not the best title of "tricycles for adults," or referring to Trikkes as "odd looking tricycles," but as they say, "good press...." Perhaps it won't help the image of the Pon-e and might suggest it is a toy. I don't think it is. I think the pon-e is a great way to combine assisted distance commuting with the outdoor activity of trikking.

Now, many don't believe that the pon-e facilitates trikking. As a tribred owner and a trainer who has installed many e-kits on different trikke models, I have to disagree. Just as the traditional trikke ride is really about the stamina, power, skill, and speed of the rider--what you put in is what you get out---so it is with the tribred and pon-e. You don't have to ride it standing straight up without carving. Carving while riding is the best way to work on your fitness through the pon-e!

You also have to remember that everyone doesn't start out physically able to shred--nor do some want to. The tribred has always been a great option in my mind for those who want the best of both worlds. Those who are recovering from injuries. Or, those just needing a little assist once in a while. Nothing wrong with that! I personally love going on a traditional ride through my neighborhood and then drying the sweat off with a tribred blast!

Check out the video above of a rider in San Francisco. One could ride, lightly carving as they do-- or shred. It's still trikking in the end!

E-Kits installed and pon-e purchases all available at Capital Trikke!
