three-wheeler

Odd-wheeled ride

A three-wheeler is a vehicle with three wheels.

The term covers a range of machines: motorized rickshaws in South Asia, small enclosed cars designed for fuel efficiency or disability access, and recreational all-terrain vehicles.

Children's tricycles are three-wheelers too, though the term usually implies something motorized: He zipped through traffic on his three-wheeler.
