Default Three Wheelers

You don't see three wheelers mentioned much anymore. I wonder why? I don't see them at dealerships around home either. Do they still make them?

I'm not sure if they still make them. I know before we bought our 4-wheelers we had a 3-wheeler. I'm telling you it was not near as safe as the 4-wheeler. I only drove it a couple of times and then we switched to 4-wheelers. I didn't feel safe turning corners fast with only 3 wheels.

I believe they stopped making them. I know there were many issues with their safety standards and stuff because so many wrecks were happening but they were around for a long time.

Now that you mention them I haven't saw one in a really long time. At least several years I would say. I never liked them either. I saw someone flip one once and hated them every since.

Yes, three-wheelers are no long manufactured. They were deemed way to unsafe back in the early 90's. I personally grew up riding three-wheelers and find them perfectly safe as long as you don't ride them like a jacka$$. Trust me, I've flipped them more times then I want to admit after that comment, but I was also riding like an idiot.

But to answer your question they were deemed to unsafe to ride and are no longer produced.

It is all about the quads and the side by sides now.
