3 wheelers

Three-wheelers are the lovechild of motorcycles and cars, designed to give you the thrill of a bike with a bit more stability and a dash of quirk. They usually come in two flavors: the single front wheel with two rear wheels, or the opposite. Often powered by engines ranging from 125cc to over 2.0 litres, their performance can vary wildly depending on the model and purpose. Prices for new models can start around $15,000 AUD and soar up to $50,000 AUD for high-end versions, while used units often lurk in the $5,000 to $25,000 AUD range on Tradingpost and CarShowroom. They're perfect for those who want the open-air joy of a motorcycle but with a smidge more safety and practicality. Just don’t expect them to behave like your average car, or motorcycle—three wheels means three times the questions.
