My friends believe trikes are more dangerous than quads

i reckon that quads would be even more dangerous than trikes. reason being that first of all they are ALOT bigger and heavier and secondly people have an even greater belief that they dont roll, coz they have 4 wheels which would make them overly confident when riding and would more often that not exceed their riding skill. for beginners that is.

what was the biggest heaviest trike? now compare that to the biggest heaviest quad these days!

i started riding my 110 when i was 6 years old. i moved up to a 1986 trx200sx a few years later (9ish years old) i thought with 4 wheels i could go super fast around turned without needing to lean. i booked it in 3rd gear and yanked the handlebar to turn....i then ate it and realized thats not how it works lol

This video infuriates me....

It does me as well. I'm usually all for fun, no matter how many wheels it has, but stuff like that infuriates me.

Quads are safer that trikes. I see people here dont want to admit it lol, but its the truth.

[tuerzy]

quads are definitely more forgiving

Anything can hurt you if you don't know how to operate it or go beyond its or your limits. A plastic bag will kill you if used improperly.

Part of human nature is to find the limits and gravitate to that point. So vehicle A rolls over at 20 percent further speed, angle, etc than vehicle B. Driver of vehicle A just drives it harder into the turn or climbs a steeper hill, etc and still finds the limits. They can all roll or flip, what's how hard got to do with it, unless one is exceedingly unstable, and trikes are not exceedingly unstable. The quad that seems untippable will just tip on a steeper hill or more abrupt turn. Safety implies that we know the limits and stay within the boundries of safety. So safety is a function of the user, not the machine.

For sure quads aren't any safer than trikes. If you have a dumb operator on board, then either will be a highly dangerous machine.

I'm with 3wheels, I almost got killed by a gas tank on my car. My friend newrider3 thinks they are awesome, he slid today and now knows the limits.
