What is the name of a three-wheeled motorcycle?

Piaggio MP3 or Bombardier. The Bombardier SPYDER, which many people may not have heard of, is a three-wheeled motorcycle manufactured by BRP, a famous Canadian yacht-building company. It has three wheels and is considered a luxury toy in China. Below is some relevant information: Power: Although it is a three-wheeled motorcycle, it provides the thrill of a heavy motorcycle. The three tires increase stability, and the design is unique and eye-catching, making it a standout on the streets. In terms of power: The Bombardier SPYDER is equipped with a 1000cc, 60-degree water-cooled engine from Bombardier, with a maximum power output of 130 horsepower and a top speed of 200 km/h. Additionally, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 5 seconds, showcasing its impressive performance. Handling: The unveiled BRP-Can-Am-Maverick-1000R side-by-side all-terrain vehicle is hailed as the new standard in high-performance off-road driving. It not only embodies the three core elements of BRP Can-Am—industry-leading performance, refined handling, and human-centered design—but also focuses on delivering a more authentic and intense Can-Am experience.
Three-wheeled motorcycles are commonly referred to as trikes, with the most prevalent type being the reverse trike—featuring two wheels at the front and one at the back, like the classic example of the Can-Am Spyder. They offer exceptional stability, making them less prone to tipping during turns, which suits adventurous individuals like me who prefer a bit less risk. I've ridden this type of bike a few times, and it glides smoothly on highways with noticeably less vibration than two-wheelers, eliminating that wobbling sensation. The three-wheel design also enhances braking reliability, especially reassuring on slippery roads during rain. However, the handling differs and requires some adjustment to steering habits. If you enter a turn at excessive speed, there's a noticeable drag feeling, making it unsuitable for speed enthusiasts. I recommend test-driving before purchasing. Trikes also come in two configurations: reverse trikes and traditional trikes (with dual rear wheels), the latter offering a more comfortable ride, ideal for long-distance touring or casual cruising.
