A carving trikke...
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Trikke (pronounced "trike") is a human powered, three-wheeled carving vehicle that utilizes conservation of angular momentum to allow a rider to propel forward. The rider alternates leaning side-to-side to move forwards. The width needed to move forward is roughly the width of a downtown sidewalk (1-1.5 m).
A rider may reach speeds of up to 18 mph (29 km/h) on flat ground. It can be used downhill or a level surface. It can move uphill though doing so requires substantial effort. The whole body needs to be used in a synchronized movement.
