three-wheelers

Vehicles lacking one

Three-wheelers are vehicles with three wheels rather than the standard four.

The term covers a range of machines: motorized rickshaws common in South Asia, recreational ATVs, tilting commuter vehicles, and children's tricycles.

Three-wheelers weave through traffic in Bangkok.

The design trades some stability for maneuverability and lower cost.
