Re: THE PROBLEM WITH THREE-WHEELERS
There are two basic problems with three wheelers:
1. They don't have two wheels.
2. They don't have four wheels.
Two-wheeled vehicles are more fun, and four-wheeled vehicles are more stable.
Leaving off the fourth wheel doesn't save that much weight or expense, and in the case of BMW's three-wheeler and the Carver, there's actually more weight and expense. You could build a lightweight four-wheeled vehicle that got equal fuel mileage.
There's just no advantage to three wheels.
