If you're a reasonable driver ice; in a car or a trike it is a small skid: no big deal. On a two wheeler it's about falling off - so ice might be ice but a trike's not a bike . Maybe give one a test ride - you may be quite reassured by the ride.Burgman1958 wrote:2. A three-wheeler scooter. Hmmm...interesting idea. I've read a couple of reviews on the Piaggio MP3 500. Big bulky beast isn't it? Not cheap either. But I don't think it will help much. Ice is ice whether you have two wheels or three, and as for snow, forget it. Having only one driven wheel would mean no traction. And I gather they can throw you off though not as easily as a two-wheeler. Though all in all better than a two-wheeler not really enough, especially when it comes to helping with my confidence issues.
The MP3 might be big and heavy but the Tricity is lighter than the Yamaha 2 wheeled 125 as its designer was used to MotoGp bikes.

Not sure about expense, probably less than a new car and less likely to need new panels from falling over .
Also you get a smoother ride at the front as the bumps get averaged between to two front wheels.
