a vehicle with three wheels that is typically ridden by children and has pedals and handlebars for steering

A tricycle is a three-wheeled vehicle that is typically powered by pedaling, although some are motorized. It has a stable design, with two wheels at the back and one at the front, making it easier to balance than a bicycle. Tricycles are often used by young children, as they provide more stability for learning how to ride. They are also used by adults, particularly for cargo or recreational purposes. Some tricycles are designed for transportation, with a cargo area, while others are built for leisure, offering a comfortable ride with extra features.

  • They used a tricycle to transport groceries from the market back home, as it was easier to carry heavy bags.
