What is a Tricycle?
The tricycle, often called a trike, is a three-wheeled vehicle. The most common type of tricycle is that often purchased for young children who can’t yet master the stability to balance on a bicycle. These trikes, often made of metal, have two rubber wheels in back and one in front. They can help a child master the art of pedaling without having to rely too much on balance, though any child who can pedal fast enough has probably been able to overturn their trike quite easily.

Actually, the early tricycle was in the form of a horse drawn carriage, usually a two-seater. Other forms of propulsion have been used and there have been over time, steam tricycles, hand pedaled trikes, and the motorized (either gas powered or electric) trike. Many motorized tricycle models are simply revised designs of the motorcycle or dirt bike.
