okay, my husband was telling me about this cool ride for adults and kids. It's like a foot powered scooter with handlebars but instead of kicking your are pedaling (sp?) it like an eliptical rider? He saw it on TV or possibly a home shopping show. They make them in two sizes, one for adults and one for children.

Seeing that our Aspie son cannot ride a bike yet, we thought it would be great to build up his muslces so that he could be able to ride a bike later on.

Does anyone know what I am talking about? I would appreciate it greatly as I need to find these and order it for the holidays.

Thanks in advance!

I poked around google a little bit and couldn't really find anything...was it an infomercial that you saw it on?

I like the one you found but we FINALLY found it. My husband kept telling me on the phone today that it's called a "trike". Well I kept googling that and came up with nothing. By accident I tried it again and misspelled trike with Trikke. And it popped up then.

Here is what he wanted... www.trikke.com the shipping was outrageous so I click on over to eBay and found them less than the manufacturer and scored free shipping. So I guess I added to cyber-space monday shopping spree that's going on globally! LOL...I bet hackers are having a field day today!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP looking. I was about to go nuts. You would think that the manufacturer would have put the alternative spellings in their meta tags for dorks like me who cannot find what they are looking for.
