Trikke Size Chart
Dec/30/10 09:42 Filed in: Information
I had a conversation with a gal who wanted to purchase a Trikke for her grandson, she had no idea which model would work best for her family member. The best possible way to know for sure is to actually go and see one for your self and stand next to it. That is not always an option. Here is a link to a Trikke Sizing Chart to get a basic head start on which model will be right for you.
Here is an excert of the conversation with Sheryn
Message: Hello, I’m considering a Trikke for my grandson, but his size, age, & weight having me asking questions. The boy is 11 years old, but already 5″2″, & 120#. He grows pretty fast. Should I still consider the 67 size, or start with the 78 (which one)? He has not been on a scooter before. I would appreciate your recommendations. Thanks.
Hi Sheryn, Your boy is only going to get bigger that’s a given. I am 6′ 3″ 220and I can ride a T67 just fine. The T67 frame is smaller than theT78CS. The T67 has the 2 colors choices while the T78CS is only black. The T67 has been redesigned in to a very versatile Trikke.
This model starts off with 6″ poly wheels in the rear and can accommodate7″,8″,8.5” air. All of the wheel combination’s are possible in the front as well. Nice Blue or Orange color with updated graphics stickers and low-profile handlebars. I do like this as a choice.
The T78CS has a steel frame like the 67 yet it is a bit longer and will suit anyone from about 11 on up. This model starts with the 7 inch poly-wheel rear, upgrades to 8 and 8.5 inch air with the front tire air to start. The handlebar profile is taller than the 67. Air upgrade for the 67 is about $85 for 3 air wheels while the 78 is about $58 for a pair of tires.
I think that the kids would rather have the 67 with all the options than the larger 78CS. Again starting with all poly wheels makes it easier to learn. That is my honest opinion. Hope this helps. Thanks for he inquiry Andy
Thanks for the visit and Carve Diem’
