It will not be an exaggeration to say that for almost every cyclist, acquaintance with a bike began with a three-wheeled version in the very early childhood, and only then he mastered the whole variety of two-wheeled vehicles, changing to mountain and highway models. Nevertheless, there are tricycles for adults, and they are gaining popularity more and more quickly.

Types of tricycles

Adult tricycles, or trikes, are very diverse in technical specifications and outward appearance... They differ in layout, riding position, gear type, frame, application and other parameters.

Tricycle configuration

There are two main types of tricycle layouts:

• Deltoid, in which one front wheel and two rear. This option is familiar to everyone from childhood, only an adult tricycle has big sizes and rear-wheel drive.
• Reverse delta, or "tadpole"(from the English word tadpole), which has two front and one rear wheels. This type is less common and can be seen much more often on sporting events than on the street.

Sometimes there are models that look like motorcycles with a sidecar. In them, one of the wheels, most often the rear, is connected by an axle to the side. Such bicycles have not become widespread, although some "kulibins" continue to experiment with them.

Cyclist landing

Depending on the position of the rider's body while riding, trikes are divided into vertical and horizontal trikes.

Upright tricycles

This type is similar to a regular bicycle, and differs from it in the presence of three wheels. Such a trike has a diamond-shaped or open frame, often folding. The cyclist sits astride it, legs dangling from both sides. Trikes are often made from a two-wheeled bike by replacing rear wheel to a special node, which is a bridge with a differential and one or more stars. Some can be fitted with a large, wide seat with a backrest, which reduces stress on the back.

Tricycle with an upright fit

Horizontal tricycle

A bicycle that needs to be ridden reclining or lying on your back is called a liguerad or rikambent. This also includes a trike with this fit. Thanks to its low center of gravity and high aerodynamic properties, it can reach much higher speeds than a regular bicycle.

Drive types

Mainly used to propel the tricycle into motion muscle strength legs, although there are models for the disabled, in which the pedals rotate by hand. They are also often equipped with different kinds electric motors.

In deltoid tricycles, the drive can be carried out on both rear wheels or only on one. The latter option is simpler and cheaper. Such bicycles can have either one fixed gear or several. There are also options with front-wheel drive.

The reverse delta variant usually has a driving rear wheel, however there are models in which the pedals rotate the front axle. These tricycles have a more complex design.

Control

The tricycle is controlled by a steering wheel connected directly to the fork front wheel or a bridge. Such a device is most common on vertical tricycles, both delta-shaped and "tadpoles". There are variants of bicycles with a reverse deltoid configuration, in which the steering is carried out by turning the rear wheel. This arrangement is more complex and has a larger turning radius.

Trike Liguerades can also be controlled using the handlebars that are half of the handlebars. They are usually located next to the seat and are connected to a wheel or axle using rods or rods.

Using tricycles

According to their purpose, trikes can be divided into three conditional groups: models for recreation and entertainment, sports and work.

Sports models

Sports tricycles can rival conventional bicycles in terms of the variety of configurations. Most often, various variations are used with a semi-recumbent or recumbent position of the rider, but mountain and road bikes.

Sports trike

Thanks to the low center of gravity, the Liguerades are much more stable than upright bikes. In addition, they have better aerodynamic properties, which allows them to reach much higher speeds than on a regular bike. The configuration with the reverse deltoid wheel arrangement possesses the least resistance, therefore it is this configuration that is most often used in the creation of velomobiles.

Leisure tricycles

The most common type of tricycle is an upright vehicle with a deltoid wheel arrangement. It is these trikes that can most often be found on the streets of our cities, although their number is still not large. They are mainly used by the elderly and disabled. They are also popular with those who have never been able to learn how to ride a regular bike.

Tricycle for the elderly

People whose physical capabilities are limited for one reason or another can easily drive such a vehicle. Often this is the only view for them. physical activity which they can afford. A similar 3-wheeled bicycle is also used as a rehabilitation therapy for persons who have suffered a stroke or other serious illnesses.

The tricycle has gained some popularity among tourists who love multi-day trips. Thanks to the installation of voluminous roomy roof racks, they can carry a large number of things needed on long trips.

Business Application

Everyone is well aware of the cycle rickshaws, which are widely used in Asia and Africa. Here they are widely used not only for the transportation of passengers, but also for cargo, sometimes quite heavy and of rather large dimensions. However, even in countries with developed cycling traditions such as China, India or Bangladesh, they are increasingly being replaced by internal combustion engines.

V Western Europe, USA and other developed countries, the use of tricycles as a means of transport for transporting goods or passengers remains rather exotic. Nevertheless, in many cities, the authorities pay great attention the development of bicycle transport. For example, in Copenhagen, The Hague, Paris and many other cities there is a taxi service on 3-wheeled bicycles, but their area of ​​operation is mainly limited to the city center and is designed mainly for tourists.

Much more often you can find bike rides adapted for the transport of goods. Such vehicles are available in almost every city in the world, regardless of the degree of economic development of the country. Often these are mobile outlets selling ice cream, hot dogs and other goods. It should be noted that these vehicles are not designed for long journeys. Most often, they overcome a couple of blocks in a day to the place of trade, and in the evening they return to the garage.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Tricycles

Like any other mode of transport, tricycles have both positive and negative sides... Much depends on their configuration and position of the cyclist, as well as on the operating conditions.

The main advantage of using tricycles is that there is no need to balance to maintain balance, even at a complete stop. For the elderly and disabled, this circumstance is decisive when choosing a tricycle as a means of transportation. However, it has low lateral stability and is prone to overturning when cornering, which limits its scope and travel speed.

This property is especially pronounced in tricycles with an upright fit. In liguerads, it is less pronounced due to the low center of gravity. The problem can be solved by using the Ackermann principle of trikes in the axles, which allows the wheels to change the angle of inclination when cornering. However, such a swivel unit dramatically increases the cost of the device and is found only in expensive sports models.

Tricycle with inclined front axle

Another advantage, already related to rikambent tricycles, is the ability to move in a comfortable reclining or recumbent position, which reduces the load on the back and allows you to develop higher speeds. Such trikes are especially in demand among veteran cyclists, for whom lower back disease is a professional ailment. In addition, the low seat makes it easier to get in. But here there is negative side: low center of gravity and low ground clearance makes this 3-wheeled bike almost invisible to other road users, which makes it suitable for use on the road common use extremely dangerous.

Another advantage of trikes is the ability to transport goods, due to the presence of a two-wheel bridge. However, this dramatically reduces the speed, maneuverability and versatility of the tricycle as vehicle, while a regular bike can easily perform the same functions, you just need to equip it with a trailer.

So, our brief acquaintance with the tricycle has come to an end, and we can summarize some of the results. The tricycle, no doubt, has the right to life and is a completely self-sufficient means of transportation, but its scope remains very narrow. It is practically indispensable for recreational use and as a transport for people with disabilities. The ride also has great potential as sports equipment... However, in other areas, the traditional bicycle remains the undisputed favorite, and in the foreseeable future, its three-wheeled brother has no chance of changing the established status quo.

A modern scooter consists of a number of components that have technical differences for different riding styles:

A foot platform (or deck) is a flat surface designed to place your feet on a scooter. The surface of the platform is covered with an abrasive "sandpaper" that prevents the feet from slipping. Children require a shorter platform than adults.

Steering column - designed to control the scooter. It comes in one piece or adjustable in height, as well as with folding handles. All city scooters are equipped with a folding mechanism for easy transportation by public transport. Accordingly, steering columns are usually telescopic, i.e. folding. This also allows the height of the product to be adapted to the height of the wearer. There are two types of scooter handle grips. The soft ones are made of polyurethane foam, provide a comfortable grip and are used on most scooters. Hard grips are made of rubber and are used mainly on stunt models where increased durability is required.

Folding mechanism - a device for folding the scooter for easy transportation. Usually scooters are equipped with a quick folding system with one or two movements. On stunt scooters, as a rule, there is no folding system, since aggressive driving contributes to loosening of the mounts and, accordingly, loss of ride quality and failure of the scooter itself.

Depending on the purpose and characteristics of use, scooters are equipped with two or three wheels. Traditionally, scooters for children have three (two in the back and one in front) or four wheels for the stability and safety of the child.

Models for older children and adults have two wheels. These scooters are considered the fastest and most maneuverable.

Depending on the design of the scooter, as well as the surface and driving style for which it is intended, wheels of different diameters are used. Wheels also vary in hardness and are numbered. Both hard and soft wheels have their own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, the choice of wheel hardness is based on personal preference.

Bearings.

The scooters use size 608 or ABEC bearings - just like inline skates and skateboards. The higher the accuracy of the bearing, the potentially higher the rotational speed, but the lower the resistance to moisture and dust, and therefore the shorter the service life.

In the design of scooters, a foot brake is used, less often a manual one. The foot brake is considered the most effective and in a simple way braking, which is why the vast majority of scooters are equipped with it. The foot brake is usually combined with the rear wheel fender. By pressing the wing with different force, you can adjust the stopping speed of the scooter.

Also, the scooter can be equipped with additional elements:

Carrying strap. It is used in the most compact models city ​​scooters, makes it easy to carry the scooter when folded.

Step. It is used in models of city scooters for parking in an upright position.

Front wheel shock absorber. It is used in children's and urban scooter models. The shock absorber absorbs vibration and shock transmitted from uneven surfaces to the steering column and platform.

Scooters for children and adults

IMPORTANT

Scooters for children and adults

We draw your attention to the fact that there is significant differences children's and adult scooters.

This is important to consider when choosing a scooter, especially for children and teenagers.

: children up to 20-50 kg, depending on the model; adults up to 100 kg.

2. Rack height: children - from 47 to 93 cm, depending on the model, may not be adjusted;

adults - from 64 to 103 cm - height adjustable. Exceptions are stunt scooters, since it is necessary to maintain the rigidity of the structure.

3. Materials used(main details): for children - plastic; adults are metal.

Firstly, it may not be safe, since the child may not be able to cope with the scooter, and secondly, the child may lose interest in riding.

• soft seats, which in all respects resemble a familiar seat in a stroller;
• seat belts securely hold the fidget during dashing turns;
• music panels with sound and light effects to make the trip even more exciting;
