Invented a dozen years ago by Brazilian engineer Gildo Beleski, the three-wheeled Trikke (prounced trike), a cross between a scooter and a tricycle, was unveiled to the public in 2002. The inventor partnered with John Simpson, a former distributor of the highly popular Razor scooters.

I bet they do! But you can sure hear them coming!
