A "trike," short for tricycle, is a three-wheeled vehicle designed for stability and ease of use. It is commonly used by young children as a first bike, allowing them to learn balance and coordination. Trikes come in various designs, including pedal-powered models and electric versions for older riders. In addition to children's trikes, there are also adult trikes, often used for recreation or transportation. These can include recumbent trikes for comfort or motorized trikes for those who prefer a powered option. Trikes are popular for their safety features and ability to navigate various terrains.
