Are Trikes More Dangerous Than Motorcycles

However this experience that makes motorcycles and trikes so freeing is also what can make them very dangerous.

Are trikes more dangerous than motorcycles. It is a different ride however. The major downside of a trike is that they are less maneuverable than a normal motorcycle. But really the ATVs are probably more dangerous because the injuries people have after accidents are more deadly.

Its important to appreciate that a trike offers the same level of protection as a motorcycle which is very little. All the body roll of a car with one fewer wheel and no seat belt air bags or roof pillars. Turning hills and lane position are the three critical elements present in trike dangers.

But in other respects these 3-wheel motorcycles can be just as dangerous as a two-wheeled cycle. Three-wheeled - trikes or CanAms are safer if you have trouble balancing or holding up a two-wheel motorcycle possibly due to physical limitations or issues with balance however on two-wheels your maneuverability is better allowing the rider to maneuver more quickly and in smaller space.

Three-wheeled vehicles are perceived as more dangerous than motorcycles because many new operators tend to drive them as though they were a motorcycle. Your body is experiencing the same risk as a motorcycle rider. I do have a trike vtx1800c and my wife has a Suzuki LC1500 trike.

We both love them. Trikes are considerably more dangerous than a 2 wheeled motorcycle because they cant lean into a turn and instead try and roll to the outside. On a scooter only gravity and your hands are holding you on the machine.

Base jumpers wont tell you about how risky the sport is. You are out in the wind. On a motor trike your body is still dangerously exposed in the event of a crash.
