Polaris, Vanderhall, and Morgan all make three-wheeled vehicles. But just because they each have three wheels doesn't mean they're at all the same. In this face-off, we give you the highs and lows of each.

For all of yall saying its a pointless and dangerous waste of money: sometimes you don't need a point. Sometimes its more fun if its more dangerous, like motorcycles. The point is, let people have their fun. If its not the vehicle for you, move on!

@jeffthebaptist3602 5 лет назад

Both the Polaris and Vanderhall have viable safety cages. While they aren't as safe as a car, they are far safer than a motorcycle.

@forrest1948 5 лет назад

Totally agree.

@djwestbrook36 4 года назад

What I don't understand is, why can't we have cheaper vehicles? I would buy it if it was cheaper.

@shiroshnur 3 года назад

Motorcycles have a point. They avoid traffic and have much better maneuverability in exchange for a cars level of safety.

@m.p440 2 года назад

Agree

@SolomFoz 5 лет назад

People who complain about their prone to accidents forgot that these three wheelers are way safer than the motorcycles.

@daizu576 4 года назад

The pro's is that you wont fall. But you lose the twisties fun factor that is more than worth.

@IonorReasSpamGenerator 4 года назад

Motorcycles can go off-road and carry two people due which are in some places used as taxis while costing far less to buy and operate. These are the main reasons why motorcycles are very popular as everyday drivers to work in Asia and Africa where people generally don't have the money for big fuel-guzzling SUVs, 3 wheelers in this video and most of the others on other hand are just toys for people with too much money but make no sense buying them for rest of us regardless of better safety...

@singhatar0912 4 года назад

Well it is technically considered a motorcycle

@d0fabur5st82 2 года назад

Motorcycles are pretty safe on regulated roads if you’re not being reckless. I can’t imagine predicting when this thing will slide out.

@candacecassidy8439 3 года назад

I saw that one on the road yesterday it really was pretty amazing.

@DukeOfTwist 5 лет назад

Problem with EVERY 3-wheeler... can't dodge a bump so you gunna hit EACH & EVERY one.

@SteveandLizDonaldson 6 месяцев назад

Unless you do all of your own maintenance, the proximity to a dealer or certified repair site is very important.

@daviyen 5 лет назад

And what happens in a crash

@IMIrishnSassy 11 месяцев назад

Should only be legal as an off-road recreational vehicle

@forrest1948 5 лет назад

Love them all. Probably the slingshot for me. 😁

@ambarkhan7333 4 года назад

I love slingshot for the price

@marckemp9955 Год назад

Parr mentioned these sometime last year and I didn't really know what he was talking about. But now I've seen one of these two days in a row. I'm calling it a batmobile. Stone..he changed his name.. Stone would have liked one. I don't care for it.

@elijahallison6710 10 месяцев назад

looking for something with a sealed cab. i want to be out of the wind. and with air conditioning, a single seat with the steering column centered and some space to my left and right to place small items. also needs some stuff going on in the dash like gps hookup and radio

@jerryhubbard4461 2 года назад

I was riding down the interstate last week and coming beside me and passing me was the Paloris thing. It cracked me up when I told my wife the dude looks like he is traveling in a bathtub. The rest of the week we kept seeing these bathtub things and cracking up. I am sure they are fun to rude in but do they come with soap?

@COTTERO 5 лет назад

Great review, but too short.

@comdrive3865 4 года назад

Imagine a 1950s hovercraft concept car. Now add two wheels in the rear and make the front one appear invisible. I can see this fashionable.

They seem to be very popular with one particular ethnic group. They like to put lights all over them and play hip-hop-rap as loud as possible as they sit at traffic lights.

@luisvilla799 4 года назад

I got 30,000 reason this won't sell

@luisvilla799 4 года назад

I haven't seen a new slingshot for 20k anywhere in Houston lol dealer mark up like 24k

@johnlamarca9439 5 лет назад

the slingshot EWWW WTF the glitter ruined it completly

@johjohnson 4 года назад

I want one!

@mrfudd13 4 года назад

Nice, concise evaluation, with great videography! Completely agree about styling of Polaris - designed by 10 - year - old's. Really liked the Morgan, but don't think I'd purchase a vehicle with the engine at the very front - seems like a bad idea.

@misidee 5 лет назад

These aren't futuristic lady. They're oversized motorized tricycles

@thomasmcgillivray3997 4 года назад

Definitely worthwhile for stability...a hell of a lot moreso & safer then two wheels eh.

All are underpowered for their weights...

@CalculatorGuides 2 года назад

not really

@Conditionerisbettah 2 года назад

Some people’s brains are underpowered for their weight as well. The slingshot, however, is 1700 pounds and 170 hp. With a 10-1 hp to weight ratio. Very respectable indeed putting it up there with many 450 hp cars.

@5argetech56 Год назад

I beg to differ, I love the way to slingshot looks so futuristic and modern.

I wouldn't even classify these things as "cars."

@lissaleggs4136 5 лет назад

A Detroit Lion drives one of these around my hood. Looks weird. I wouldn't get in one or on a motorcycle. Won't get in driverless car either. I'd rather buy a 🐴 horsey and a trailer..

@johnadams5694 2 года назад

I wouldn’t say the Slingshot looks “cartoonish”. The same way someone shouldn’t say the other two 3-wheelers look like they were brought here from the 1900’s.. They’re simply different styles.

@dhavalchheda1626 5 лет назад

Tuktuk seems better than these.

@DaytonCarCare 5 лет назад

Sorry but I'd rather buy a convertible with 4 wheels and it includes a top. My old 92 Mercedes 500SL would run rings around these death traps and for a fraction of t he money. ;)

@tcroft2165 5 лет назад

If you think the 500Sl is the same sort of driving experience as a 3w you are badly missing the point!

@jeffthebaptist3602 5 лет назад

No it wouldn't. The 500SL has a 0-60 time of about 6 seconds. The Polaris will beat that by almost second (5.2 seconds). The Vanderhall will beat it by a second and a half. They'll also out brake you (because they don't weigh anything). Not sure about performance on the skid pad for cornering, but they're both fairly impressive there too.

@tcroft2165 5 лет назад

In fairness he said run 'rings around' ie cornering in which the SL will be much faster than the Polaris

@jeffthebaptist3602 5 лет назад

An old 500SL has the same lateral g value as a Polaris Slingshot. And it's heaver and it has a worse power to weight ratio. The vanderhall corners and accelerates better than the slingshot. You're comparing a sports car to what are essentially stripped down track vehicles. The track vehicles will hold their own. Where the 500SL wins is year-round and all-weather use, generally practicality, and crash safety.

@tcroft2165 5 лет назад

3 wheel lightweights trash their rear tyre in any really hard track use and in the wet the lack of contact patch makes for real problems.

@jlin8681 5 лет назад

Toy cars for under age.

I always wonder these were called - I see a lot of retiree-age people driving them around.

@peteypab9081 5 лет назад

Smell some hating broke folk on these comments. Lol

@IMIrishnSassy 11 месяцев назад

You don't have to be broke or a hater to buy these. These aren't considered pricey or expensive. Most people have common sense and that's why a lot would never purchase a tricycle such as these.
