Riding experience
Most important is the riding experience. The feeling of riding through town, almost without the burden of a means of transport. That′s also why the very first motorized scooter in 1915 was called an AutoPed (Automatic Pedestrian). The Trikelet aims to reach this goal, but with twenty-first century technology.

Easy folding
Riding the Trikelet is very easy. Just step on it and ride. It is electrically driven, so you do not have to kick scooter. Folding is also easy. You do not have to lift or turn the Trikelet. Just pull the handles to unlock and bring it to the folded position.

Regulations
The regulations concerning these type of vehicles differ per country. In Belgium these type of vehicles are allowed on public roads, when the maximum speed is below 18 km/hour. In The Netherlands they are subjected to regulations and have to have a liability insurance. In Germany the rider has to have a MOFA drivers license and in the USA the regulations differ per state.
