Have you ever seen or maybe ridden on a trike motorcycle? When we think of the three-wheel cruiser it tends to flash us back to our childhood. But adult trike motorcycles are gaining in popularity these days, especially in the elderly community!
Trike motorcycles, or motorized tricycles, come in two types: deltas or tadpoles. Delta tricycles have one wheel in the front with two in the back, while tadpole trikes are
inverted; they have two wheels in front and one in the back.
One of the main reasons why trike bikes are so attractive to people is because they provide an alternative to traditional motorcycles for the elderly. Longtime motorcycle riders that start to feel the physical effects of aging usually don’t want to just hang up their boots and helmet and call it quits! Instead they tend to transition to trike motorcycles, for reasons like:
- Balky legs or bad knees
- Diminishing eyesight
- Mobility issues
- Trouble keeping balance
Another unique trait of the trike motorcycle is that it is usually designed to carry multiple passengers in the back. Also, in some states helmet regulations are not enforced for trike motorcycle riders.
