Just curious as to what names you guys use for 3 wheelers?

I use Trike, Bike, buggy, 3 wheeler, and as a funny family joke - Tree Roller.

What do you guys call em?

oh, and sarcastically, "deathtrap". Local kids dad stopped by the other day and told me "those things are too dangerous". Yep. He's right. The figgin 200x pulled a knife on me last night and took my wallet and cell phone. Then my klt called my mother and said I was bad.

He was right. They *ARE* dangerous.

Usually Three wheelers or bikes if i am reffering to the general topic. If I am talking about mine and were looking at them then they are usually my babies. If your looking at it and cant tell its a three wheeler then your an idiot. Belive it or not I have had LOTS of people around here call them four wheelers.

I know what you are talking about - many times people call mine a 4 wheeler or a quad - not because the can't count, but because they are so used to saying it and never see trikes anymore. Usually when they call mine a 5 wheeler or aquad, I just look at them and hold up 3 fingers!

"Wheeler", "3-wheeler", or "bike". The "trike" thing to me always conjured up images of a street bike trike conversion towing a luggage trailer .....even though "trike" is more correct than "bike" I still don't use it.

I agree. I use the term bike for anything I own with handle bars. When getting specific, I use terms like: bike, 3-wheeler, qaud, or 4-wheeler. When my tecate was still a complete machine my buddies refered to it as a "wagon"...

Depends on wich one of mine I am reffering too. Usually I go for a "3-wheeler ride". For all of them collective I call them "hondas" or "3-wheelers". If I'm reffering to a specific bike I will call it my wheeler, Big Red, 200, wheeler, bike, etc...

I usually just say 3 wheeler. The other day at work I mentioned I was rebuilding my 3 wheeler and the one guy looked up with shock and started shaking his head. I asked him why he was shaking his head, he said that if I wanted to throw my life away like that, it was my choice. :lol:

I HATE to say this but I usually call them quads, then I explain if asked.

People don't know what a trike, ATC or 3wheeler is for the most part and if they do, they ragg on them.....

It gets tiring explaining myself, my passion and love for 3wheelers. I know what they are and thats all that matters to me :)
