Trikke 12 is the high-end model in the trikke series. I have started on a Trikke 8 and then I made my way up to T12. T12 is higher but heavier at the same time, which means that it requires more energy when starting, but it also has more inertia, which means that it is easier to maintain speed when cruising. The ride is faster and much smoother than the T8 because of the size of the wheels. Beware though - faster means that you spend more energy, which is why the official advertising is "not for the faint of heart". It is only slightly wider than the T8, but it needs more "turning space". Not really a problem if you have wide asphalt (where it is a lot of fun), it climbs hills easier than the T8 but it is less maneuvrable in tight spaces such as climbing on a narrow sidewalk.This model is the only one (so far) with disc brakes, which makes it safer knowing that you can really brake when you need and therefore gives you more confidence at higher speed and on downhills. The handlebar grips as shown in the picture are terrible (they make a good picture but they are very uncomfortable). I hope Trikke will change them to something more ergonomic, I did it myself. This detail would not lower it from 5 stars.The last word of advice: I know there are people out there who want to buy the best thing from the start. Then they sell them on EBay because they were not able to learn how to use them. Just like with alpine skiing (BTW-it feels very similar), where you have skis for beginners and intermediate, you do not start straight on racing skis, my advice for beginners is to start with a T8 or T78 and then, when you got the hang of it, move to the T12.

Product Description:
The Trikke 12 Roadster with its customized, high-pressure pneumatic tires and disc brakes eats up bad road and pushes the edge of the T8 carving envelope times 10. Carve deeper and ride harder with confidence and control, and tackle hills like a giant slalom skier tackles the mountain. Perfect for athletes wanting to combine a fast and exhilarating ride with excellent cross-training for endurance, balance, agility and strength. If you want the ultimate cambering vehicle that you can take to the limit, this one's got the girth. Also, because of its larger wheels and heavier frame, you'll find that it takes less turns to keep your speedessential for anyone interested in long distance carving. It's the best ride we currently offer; not for the faint of heart. Suggested Weight Limit 250lbs
