Is the 3 wheeler as safe as the 4 wheeler?

Answer 1

I own the Honda Big Red ATC250, I have never had a problem with rolling it. It is lighter than a 4 wheeler and the geometry makes it more likley to flip, Although ive rode banshee's that would outrun crotchrockets in a8th. over 100mph. U barley try to turn one of those and your going to eat it. Personally i think they are equal as far as a safe machine. Its all in the driver. The machine cant hurt you unless your controling it. I drive the hellout of mine in ice, mud, snow, and even through water, (It almost floats). Big grizzly 4x4s cant hang with me in the bogs. never could. To answer your question,I think they are equally safe, as long as your used to riding it. Its just different. They say, you can't turn sharp. well. You cant turn ANYTHING sharp as high enough speed will eat your lunch. I love my 3wheeler, and dont understand why they are illegal.In 10 years they were 100 Accidents after you throw out little kids, unsupervised kids, drunks ect. 4 wheelers doubled that in 5 years. If your thinking about buying a 3 wheeler, I would buy it. Learn to ride it and laugh in the faces that tell you how dangerous they are when your riding on two wheels going in circles around them.
