The best tricycles 2022

The beginning of the XNUMXst century has truly become the era of means of individual mobility. What only alternatives are not trying to offer classic cars and motorcycles. Electric rollers and scooters, unicycles, hoverboards and even tricycles. They stand apart in this list, as they have become an intermediate link between classic transport and technical innovations.

Before we start talking about the best tricycles of 2022, let’s give some theory. The thing is that in the world community there is no unanimity about what is considered a tricycle. The broadest classification includes even children’s bicycles. And what is it – there are three wheels! We will definitely not touch the toy. It’s better to talk about those tricycles that are prescribed in GOST R 52051-2003¹. The document concerns motor vehicles. It says that the tricycle is:

“A three-wheeled vehicle with wheels that are symmetrical with respect to the median longitudinal plane of the vehicle and whose engine capacity (in the case of an internal combustion engine) exceeds 50 cu. cm (or) the maximum design speed (with any engine) exceeds 50 km / h.

In total, it turns out that the tricycle:

• has three wheels and no matter how the paired axle is located – front or rear;
• the presence of an electric or internal combustion engine;
• engine displacement greater than 50 cc. (which means he needs a driver’s license);
• the maximum speed is equal to or greater than 50 km/h.

However, in our ranking, we will also touch on less powerful models. And we will consider them trikes as a full-fledged synonym. Healthy Food Near Me talks about the best tricycles in 2022, as well as about choosing and buying such a vehicle.

How to choose a tricycle

We talked about the best tricycles in 2022. Now let’s share the nuances of choosing this unusual vehicle. Consult agreed Maxim Ryazanov, technical director of the Fresh Auto network of car dealerships. Popular models of tricycles In 2022, the most popular are the four brands of the manufacturer of tricycles (trikes). Two of them are foreign: Harley-Davidson (premium segment), Lifan (representative of Chinese engineering) and two domestic ones – ZiD and Stels.

What to look for when buying

The main characteristics of the trike, which should be considered when choosing:

• security level;
• gasoline engine or motor wheel;
• power and speed;
• original design – after all, this vehicle is in most cases purchased for self-expression.
  

What are tricycles

Tricycles can be conditionally divided into several types, based on different criteria. For example, according to the layout of the wheels. There are models with one front wheel and two rear wheels, but there are those that have the opposite.

The type of production may also differ: there is serial production, and there is customization, that is, exclusive trikes that are made by hand on the basis of motorcycles or cars. In addition, there are cargo and passenger models.

Maintenance and repair

When caring for a tricycle, it must be remembered that this type of transport is primarily intended for trips in dry weather. Therefore, for the time of showers and snowfalls, it is better to leave it for seasonal storage. In this case, it is worth using fuel stabilizers to protect against corrosion, deposits, aging and oxidation of gasoline in the engine.

You can wash the tricycle only after the engine has completely cooled down, while not allowing moisture to get into the exhaust pipe, into the air filter and electrical appliances – this is fraught with engine breakdowns and a short circuit in the electrical system.

How to drive around the city

To drive tricycles you need a category B1 driver’s license. They are issued from the age of 18. If you already have category A or B, then a new B1 can be entered automatically. If the tricycle does not reach a speed of more than 25 km / h, then no license is needed.

Taking into account the amendments to the traffic rules of January 1, 2021, it is necessary to ride a tricycle along the bike path if it is not located on the roadway. In the absence of a separate lane, you must drive along the sidewalk, footpath or roadside, without creating an obstacle to the movement of other pedestrians.

Prices

The cost of a trike, depending on the brand and configuration, varies from 100 rubles to 000 rubles.
