A
three-wheeler is a vehicle with three wheels.
Some are motorized tricycles, which may be legally classed
as motorcycles, while others are tricycles without a motor, some of which are
human-powered vehicles and animal-powered vehicles.
Due to better safety when braking, an increasingly popular form is the front-steering "tadpole" or "reverse trike" sometimes with front drive but usually with rear drive.
Three-wheelers, including some cyclecars, bubble cars and
microcars, are built for economic and legal reasons: in the UK for tax
advantages, or in the US to take advantage of lower safety regulations, being
classed as motorcycles. As a result of their light construction and potential
better streamlining, three-wheeled cars are usually less expensive to operate.
