Comfort And Endurance

Most motorcycles promise a constant full-body workout on every ride, wearing you out and wearing you down on long journeys. A trike motorcycle, however, is defined by a third wheel. With that extra wheel comes stability, so you won’t need to use your core muscles or legs to help you maintain control or to navigate anymore. This helps you out on long rides, short rides, and every ride in between. The third wheel also requires a larger frame, which results in a wider and more comfortable seat.

Stability And Safety

The increased stability of that third wheel has other benefits, as well. Where strong winds or the drafts of other motorists might have tipped a standard motorcycle, a trike will be more likely to keep all wheels on the ground and where you want them. This is thanks to the larger footprint and third contact point with the ground, but the heavier frame also helps. 

Thanks to that stable setup, you’re much safer on a trike than you would be on a standard bike. You’re less likely to tip, fall, or slide, and because of that larger frame, other drivers are more likely to see you. They’re still less safe than a fully-enclosed consumer vehicle, but they beat out standard motorcycles by a wide margin. 

Storage And Power

The wider frame also includes extra space for other aspects of your vehicle, including the engine and storage space. Thanks to that extra wheel, engineers got the excuse they needed to shove in an oversized and overpowered engine and a fuel tank to match it. With that extra power and fuel, you’re ready to tear up a highway or two, or to go the distance on your next cross-country road trip.

What space isn’t taken up by that powerhouse and other mechanical parts is largely used for storage. Most trikes have an actual trunk similar to other consumer vehicles, meaning they’re better suited to longer or more arduous journeys than their two-wheeled counterparts. Even if you just need to stop by the store, this stable and spacious storage space means your groceries are safer and actually have room to rest.
