TRIKKE SKKI
From the Trikke to the Skki - product extension of the year 2006
Our prize for the best product extension of the year goes to the company that designs and manufactures the three-wheeled cambering Trikke and has now developed a new snow sport from the design and named it Skki.
Feb, 2006: It has arrived!! The much-awaited Trikke SKKI is finally here. This remarkable new snow machine has undergone 5 years of testing and refining at ski resorts in the US, Canada, Switzerland and Austria. The frame, suspension, skis, handlebars, carry bag and overall geometry have been fine-tuned for a new and easy snow experience for the whole family.
The Skki is equipped with custom, European-made, wood-core, shaped skis and generous foam-padded handlebars; you only need to grab the bars and lean them in the direction of the turn to carve your way across the slope. And, of course, no matter how hard you lean, our 3-point cambering system keeps all three skis carving across the snow.
It is easy to share with your friends or family because there are no bindings set to your particular boot size, and one size fits ages 13 and up! It is also very easy to walk up hills or on the flats – just walk between the platforms and push the handlebars ahead. Plus, no more ski-boot pain: any durable, waterproof boots should work . Just step on the grippy dish-design platforms and let her rip!
The skis are easily removed for transport, and the entire machine comes pre-packed in a custom carry bag that can be worn like a back-pack or carried by the shoulder strap. Not heavy either, the entire package only weighs 34 lbs.
Much easier to learn how to ride than skiing or snowboarding. Feel the easy contro l of skiing with handlebars. Feel the freedom of riding without bindings. Feel something really new and really fun!
