A tricycle, sometimes abbreviated to trike, is a human-powered (or gasoline or electric motor-powered or assisted, or gravity-powered) three-wheeled vehicle.
Some tricycles, such as cycle rickshaws (for passenger transport) and freight trikes, are used for commercial purposes, especially in the developing world, particularly Africa and Asia.
