Motorcycles with three wheels in a row - SUVs or a dead end
Tricycles were common in the Soviet Union. These are heavy Urals and Dneprs with sidecars. Others were not released for the population - loners went to the special services. And Izh and Java often met with strollers. By the way, some heavy motorcycles had two-wheel drive, which increased cross-country ability. Although, against the "Minchik" the conditional Dnepr-16 was not suitable in the mud. Weight plays a role, a light bike is easier to get out of a puddle. And to cope with the "Ural" or "Dnepr", you need a whole crew of strong men.


Modern three-wheeled motorcycles are trikes. They have two wheels in front or behind, but they are of an automobile type - on a transverse axle. The main point of the models is sustainability. Although, this is debatable - at low speed or in a stationary state, the motorcycle is really monumental. He does not tend to fall and does without steps. But it is worth turning the steering wheel sharply at speed - and all bulky equipment can tumble. But there were models of a different plan - with three wheels in one row. They are characterized by high cross-country ability and carrying capacity. Once upon a time, these motorcycles were even mass-produced. But they just didn't become popular. And the author of the KrasMoto channel will tell the story of such bikes.
