Have to agree with both Bounder04 and Nineon3 - it's both reasons!

I have been riding for 42 years 40 of them on 2 wheels the last 2 on 3 wheels. I think trikes are safer than a 2 wheeler because of being seen better. We have a stallion and really enjoy it.
Welcome aboard unwired.
I have tried to raise a wheel off the ground and have yet to succeed. I have actually squealed my rear tires on a corner. If it tips over anything would.
I know someone that tipped over a T bird.
The Stallion is maybe a little more safe as you legs are protected and you are more in a seated position .
Honey sleeps on the back of mine on long trips.
HAS anyone made there trike go up on 2 wheels? I would be interested in knowing this.
I have seen VW trikes do wheelies with ease.
Someone mentioned if you ride sensible, that makes them equal. I disagree.
Must be as Insurance thinks so. Got a drop in premimun when I converted to trike. Response from Ins Co was that they are considered safer.
I just repaired a Harley Ultra Classic Motor Trike for a customer that was hit hard broadside by a lady in a minivan who had ran a red light. She hit him squarely with the front of the van with the contact points being the rear wheel/fender and the front fairing. He never saw her coming and was knocked over so far that the opposite side rear fender scrubbed the pavement so it must have been tilted to 45 degrees but somehow didnt turn over. Id did ruin the trike kit which was replaced but he didnt get a scratch.
He said that if he'd been driving a 2 wheeler he'd be either critically injured or killed because the impact would have knocked him over hard and into oncoming traffic and he would have probably been run over by her van as well.
I also had a customer on a CSC Valkyrie Trike that was hit hard. The trike was totaled but they only got minor injuries. Safetywise I'll take a trike over a bike any day of the week.
