Are trikes bikes? Meaning: Are three-wheelers (that aren't motorcycles with sidecars) a subset of motorcycles or are they something else entirely? Are they one of us?
Opinions vary, and naturally your podcast co-hosts, Zack and Spurgeon, have their takes. They're joined for this episode by RevZilla's Spenser Robert, who always brings a well thought out argument to the table. And there's more to consider than you might think at first glance.
Is there a difference between a traditional trike, with a motorcycle front end and two tires out back, and one of the more modern reverse trikes, like the Can-Am Spyders? What if it has a steering wheel and a bucket seat, like a Polaris Slingshot, instead of a handlebar and a saddle? How do we feel about vintage-styled three-wheelers like a Morgan? And what if it leans, like a Yamaha Niken? Does that make it more of a motorcycle and less of a... something else?
These are just a few of the defining questions of life that episode seven seeks to resolve, as we accelerate into the heart of Highside/Lowside's season seven.
