A very nice story just ran on Gizmodo about the Dreisch Leaning Trike!

Learning how to ride a two-wheeled bike is one of the biggest challenges a kid can face, and starting off on a tricycle doesn't make it any easier since it's a different riding experience--but why should it be?

At lower speeds you often don't even notice yourself leaning into turns, but check out this photo where the riders are at nearly 45 degrees to ground. This is what the Dreisch Leaning Trike starts to teach young riders - http://kck.st/VVFuDr

Check out our friend Paul Bochner tearing up the track at Wilzig Racing Manor. He recently set the V twin track record on this track. You can see he’s really smoothly leaning and getting his knee down on almost every corner. If you want to be fast it's all about technique - and leaning technique is exactly what the Dreisch Leaning Trike teaches young learners.
