 Although the government has rejected our
initial proposal to include Trikkes in the
Bicycle rebate program, we invite you to
submit your receipt and claim the PST
back anyway. They'll likely accept it.
There response was a somewhat confused
one as it was not obviously a bike.
As time permits, we will try again to
persuade the government the value of the
Trikke and the exercise it provides.
If you
purchased a Trikke in Ontario on or
after December 1, 2007 and on or before
November 30, 2008, please submit your
receipt as you may be eligible for a
Retail Sales Tax exemption.
More Details. Remember to keep a
copy for your warranty records.
Frequently asked questions (faqs)
about the program. The Adobe (download
pdf reader) form you will need to
fill out can be downloaded from

Due to the popularity of the Trikkes
this spring, currently we have not yet
received our first order of the
Trikke 78 Air. These are supposed to
begin shipping near the end of April. This is the popular
model for lighter adults in the 5'-5'5"
100-140lb range (typically females),
released over the winter. We've update
our
main Trikke page to indicate which
models are currently available and hope this helps manage customer
expectations better.
We are currently backordered on the
Trikke 808 Air (Trikke 8 Air version
2008). The Trikke 808 Air is
schedule to be available mid to late
May.
