Although any motor vehicle can tip under extreme conditions or when driven unsafely, trikes are designed to tip far less easily than two-wheel motorcycles. This makes trikes much easier to drive in the rain and safer to drive over oil or antifreeze patches that can be left at traffic lights by other vehicles.
Because they are wider in the back than conventional motorcycles, trikes have ample trunk space. Luggage and other cargo affect the handling of a trike far less than they do the handling of their two-wheel counterparts. Because the wind buffering provided by the fenders, trikes are better at pulling trailers than motorcycles
Steering a trike can require more effort than steering a two-wheel bike because there is no counter-steering on a trike. This can make a trike easier to steer at fast speeds than at slower ones. The rider does not have to lean when cornering on a trike and can expect the trike to take corners in a manner similar to a small sports car.
According to Majestic Trikes-n-Cycles, the fuel economy is 10 to 20 percent lower on trikes than it is on traditional motorcycles. This fuel efficiency reduction is the result of the added weight of a trike and the additional drag that is caused by a trike's rear fenders.
