What do you think about 3-wheeled scooters?


http://www.scooterama.net.au/

well i can say this much... atleast these three wheels are designed in a way that even makes sense.... three wheelers (i.e. honda ATC 125, etc) made absolutely no sense what-so-ever.... i have to draw on an article i read awhile back to easily illustrate the point...

"Yup, the All- Terrain Cycle, or ATC, was introduced by Honda to let people who didn't have the skills to balance a regular two-wheeled bike ride in the dirt. Cute little buggers, the ATCs sold like crazy. Then savvy people started noticing that they handled like a shopping cart loaded with bowling balls with one locked front wheel going down a flight of stairs.

People started doing wonderful things like riding over their own legs and biffing over
the bars when the things got into a high- speed wobble-you know, anything over 20 mph. Suspension on these early three-wheelers? Nothing. Zip. Nada. Zero. Just three balloon tires were there to take the impacts.

As the years passed, the ATVs got more and more powerful and they gave them forks and shocks. This let the unstable triangle wallow around, as well as defy the laws of physics when trying to turn. The rest is history. Three-wheelers are no longer being made. However, be warned! They're still out there, wiggling and lurching around the trails and sandpits of America."

Most three-wheel scooters are by their nature somewhat unstable due to the narrow front wheel base. Nevertheless, there are three wheel Harleys [originally driven by meter maids] which are far more stable because of the very wide front wheel base.

Good luck!

They don't handle properly, like a REAL motorcycle.
Your feet are on the floor boards, flat. It's just not right.
Try a real motorcycle, and save yourself some time, and aggro.

I have ridden a Piaggo MP3 and they are fun. You corner like a crotch rocket on them yet they are very stable ride. It take a little getting use to it if your normally on two wheels..
