3 wheelers are a death trap.
Found my Big Red ATC250ES for $400 bucks, ready to rock and roll! Has full racks front to back, electric start, shaft drive, full automatic transmission with reverse gear, and a trailer hitch to boot...What more could you ask for?

I think one of those fell out of my tread on one of my tires when I was washing it one time.
Not wanting to hijack the thread, but I am in the market for an affordable 4x4 quad for the property.

For people that don't know how to ride themI owned one when they first came out. A Yamaha 200 or 250, don't remember. I rode mine all over and never had any problems, my buddy did. I traded mine for Colt 1911 45 Model 70 which I still have..
3 wheelers are a ton of fun, um were anyway. If you are not experienced they are dangerous in certain ways. Corners, off camber front misplaced, ruts, turning on a hill!! Front is very light up hill wheelie, downhill weight transfer sketchy etc. So in comparison yes they are for experienced riders to say the least. I don't care for em.

Out here on the East side, many three-wheelers can be found in good shape for ridiculosly low prices, and can still be a great option for an outdoorsman on a budget. MANY MANY more people have been injured or killed on 4-wheelers than 3 wheelers just due to the sheer numbers produced / popularity factor, as well as the same issue of lack of caution; that anybody can just hop on and twist the throttle and fly!!! Like Honda says --- STUPID HURTS!

Like Honda says --- STUPID HURTS! It is stupid easy to flip a three wheeler, been there and done that. Four wheelers a are exceptionally more stable. Another consideration is that four wheels can straddle the hump while three always has one on the rough part.
Looking At quads not racers, not tractors, just a quad to ride around. I am 200 lbs. How big do I need?250? 400? I think I want 4X4. I do not want a giant size one, little and easy to ride. My brother has a like 800 cc giant one that is just about the size of a jeep bobtail, with winches and al sorts of stuff. I do NOT want that. smaller and dependable is more important than speed.ThanksCarl

Anything can be dangerous if you use it the wrong way. 3 wheelers should never have been banned in my opinion. They are lighter and a lot more nimble than a quad. It’s all about the person riding it I guess
$1500.00 not $400.00 I found a lot of them so far, one a 1993 300 cc might be too old has lots of options tho. $2300.00, found a few for around $4500.00 newer with lots of stuff. winches etc. Racks. new one cost too much. Looks to me that a patient guy with cash can make a hell of a buy, I will wait for that. Thanks for your helpCarl
