Hi pat! Yeah, once your kids see how much fun your
having, you can be sure they will want their own. My
10 year old rides our T8's but its a bit big so I plan
on getting her one soon. Looking forward to the cooler
months upcoming, (85 degrees instead of 99, wink wink)
but at least a good portion of the WOT is covered with
trees. It sure helps.

As far as the weight issue, I have heard of people
around the 300 mark using the Trikke with no issues. I
would guess it depends on how rough you use it. Normal
riding shouldn't be a problem. If you haven't been
there yet, check out www.trikketalk.com . There are
riders from around the world who share info and ideas
and are always willing to help.

Let me know when your Trikke arrives and if time
allows, the wife and I will meet you on the trail for
a bit! Watching other Trikkers is a good way to pick
up the motion.
