One of the key factors driving the trike market growth is the better stability in trikes when compared to conventional motorcycles. The main advantage of a three-wheeler motorcycle or trike is that it offers the rider high stability as the riser is not required to put the feet down while stopping. There is an increasing preference for reverse trikes over delta trikes among consumers as it offers better stability.
As a result, there is an increasing shift in high-performance trikes by several OEMs as it offers increased thrust, acceleration, and more safety compared to traditional vehicles. Additionally, there is a significant demand for trikes among consumers who have never ridden a motorcycle, especially in regions such as the US, Japan, and Europe where there is high utilization of cars over bikes. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market, which in turn is driving the global trike market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the trike market growth is the positioning of the trike as an alternative in countries with strong passenger car markets. Several OEMs in the market promote trikes under their motorcycle segment, as trikes are considered an extension of traditional motorcycles. Many prominent OEMs such as Polaris Industries and Campagna Motors are promoting their trikes as a vehicle that offers the feel and experience of a motorcycle as well as a car.
Additionally, OEMs are increasingly revising their strategy and started seeking other mediums that are ideal for the adoption of trikes due to the stagnation in the motorcycle market in developed countries such as the US and Japan. Furthermore, the implementation of licensing policies in some countries has opened new opportunities for trike manufacturers and the aftermarket. This policy enables any driving license holders to ride trikes. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market, which in turn is driving the global trike market growth during the forecast period.
The high price of trikes when compared to traditional motorcycles, is one of the key challenges hindering the trike market growth. The initial upfront cost for a trike is very high when compared to conventional motorcycles available in the market, which can significantly hamper the trike market. For instance, the price of Harley Davidson's Tri Glide Ultra trike is USD 33,499, which is very high when compared to the touring segment Street Glide and Ultra-Limited models, which are priced at USD 20,899 and USD 26,399.
As a result, it has resulted in a decline in the adoption of trikes and can fuel the demand for traditional motorcycles. Hence, increasing female adopters of trikes remain out of reach for Harley-Davidson, which can negatively impact the market. Hence, such factors are expected to hinder the global trike market during the forecast period.

The trikes segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 1,005.68 million in 2017. Additionally, there is an increasing demand for the reverse trikes segment from young enthusiastic consumers who are early adopters of new products as well as prefer long-distance driving. This segment is forecasted to grow at a higher rate than the delta trikes. One of the main purposes of the reverse trikes segment is to offer more stability while braking and cornering activities, which enables the riser to reduce the turn radius. Furthermore, there is a rising adoption and growing popularity of reverse trikes models such as the Can-Am Spyder and Polaris Slingshot reverse trikes. Hence, such factors are expected to fuel the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the global trikes market during the forecast period.
