Three Wheeling

Post by WhiteNoise »

More 3's coming on board. This one called the Yamaha's Tricity. Two wheels upfront, one in rear. Not your basic trike as you've known it, but still called a trike.

I enjoyed my MP3 (trike) for awhile, but it was way too heavy (a Beast, as it's said). Stability and ride was fabulous. So much different than my PCX ride. As Expected. Piaggio stopped shipping the MP3 to the states, for several reasons (& at this point, I don't care, so I won't elaborate).

But.....now this little trike, the Tricity is coming round as a family of trikes, says Yammy to Motorcycle dot com. Take a read of this article, then click on the "blue words" within the 1st paragraph. They're aiming at all walks in life, excuse me...I mean, scoot rides in life. Commuting, leisure, utility and sports style riding.
Been real curious about this Tricity. I want to ride one!! It's also (imo) Better Looking than the Bulky MP3. I say....Yammy, Bring it On! 8)

Oh nice, a 250 (the sweet spot) Tricity. Hope it gets here by next year. The Peugeot looks like it has smaller wheels (twelves?) and it "looks" heavier than the Tricity. Is it? Reminds me of the MP3 too. Have you ridden either one?

Okay, I know. I messed up, and found it "All By Myself...." :oops:

THIS: I created two "Three Wheel" threads in two different places (one right Here, the other over at Other Vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.)

I will rationalize my oversight this way, :D
That my faux pas is not as bad as first thought. When understood, read and viewed this way:
"This Topic thread" is about three wheel Vehicles with NO Roof over their bodies,
"The other Topic thread"....you guessed it, :P Have a Roof over their bodies.

TaDah!! :P

Hmm...did I just wiggle outta that one? Or am I still in puppy palace? :roll:

This is so cool! I just saw this on facebook and I had to share it! My Mom's in a wheelchair but she's too old to use this. I applaud the creator and all parties involved that made this :P

It Goes In Reverse Too!! 8)

I think it is a wonderful idea! My sister is in a wheelchair, but I don't think she can reach down to connect the necessary hardware. Still, if she wanted to go with us when we went for a walk, this would be great. However, I noticed that it looks like it is only sold in Europe, yet it was developed by a company in the United States.

Leaning three wheelers like the TriCity make more sense than the over complicated gyro set up of the Lit Motors C1 as we move toward fully enclosed, high efficiency commuter bikes.

CanAm Spyders are selling like hot cakes. And Honda already has the DCT trans. These would be a favorite for our Wounded Warriors.
