[edit] Merge proposal

I disagree. It seems to me that a tricycle is a special case of three-wheeler. It would be absurd to have an article on tricycles discussing Bubble cars and Reliant Robins. —Theo (Talk) 19:35, 24 August 2005 (UTC) I disagree too.

  • Ditto, and in addition I am working an article on Goliath. Hektor 20:20, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

I agree, the article could do with expanding, but it doesn't fit in Tricycle. I have removed the tag accordingly. Kcordina 15:43, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

3wheeled ATVs and 3wheeled cars deserve two completely separate categories. 27 November 2006

[edit] Ahem ... about some more merge

Merge, this time, with Three_wheeled_cars. The contents are quite complementary. I'll let anyone tell which title is better.

I should say that some content from the tricycle article should partially be merged too. What do you think ?

The domain could also be clearly organized with articles like -

  • ==Category:Tricycle vehicules
  • Old machines
  • Tricycle
  • Motorized three-wheeled
  • - car looking
  • - - company 1
  • - - company 2 ...
  • - motorcycle looking
  • - - ...
  • Three-wheeled competitions
  • Three-wheeled physics and safety -- DLL .. T 21:42, 13 October 2006 (UTC)


The home constructed VW motorbike hybrids are clearly motorcycles rather than cars, so I think the article needs to be split in two parts. However the discussions on geometry and stability are the same for cars, microcars and trikes, and there is already duplication. So combine and expand.

[edit] Three-wheeled vehicles

How about this:

  • Move this article, giving it the title "Three-wheeled vehicles".
  • Merge Three wheeled car into this article, since cars are vehicles but vehicles are not necessarily cars (the Daihatsu mini-pickups in the thumbnail come to mind).
  • Add a "see also" or a top-link disambiguation to the Tricycle article, especially as it relates to the children's toy.

Reasonable idea?

[edit] Reverse Trike

A Three Wheel Car and a Reverse Trike as I like to call them are completely different monsters. I think more should be elaborated on the physics and handling characteristics of each that way readers have a better picture then "It’s just a backwards three wheeler"

Agree. Robert. Q. Riley has an excellent paper at the introductory level, discussing the behavior and characteristics of single-front and single-rear three-wheeler designs.   ¥    Jacky Tar  21:27, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
