The Trikke scooter -- the latest way for people to look dumb
As if those Razor scooters didn't look absurd enough, the Trikke scooter has risen up to challenge it for the title of the latest "thing no one over twelve should own." It adds another leg and is operated with a motion similar to downhill skiing. Invented twelve years ago and introduced into the market in 2002, the Trikke's makers are still trying to make it into the next big trend, apparently ignoring the fact that it refuses to catch on. They are waiting for the market for bikes and scooters "to mature." They must have missed the thousands of people riding bikes every single day.
As for those Razor scooters, we all saw how long that fad lasted.
