Trikes... Not quite cars, not quite motorcycles. Why build and drive them?
First, they're cheap. Second, reverse trikes have excellent handling
properties. Third, they have access to a wider variety of power plants
and engines than any other vehicles. Fourth, their side mounted weapons
have overlapping fields of fire. Fifth, their small size makes them difficult
to hit with most weapons.
Do they have drawbacks? Of course. Their compact size provides a very limited
amount of space for weaponry. Additionally, they do half damage and take
double damage in collisions due to their light weight.

Its ram plate is best used against other cycles, as the vehicle is too
light to do much damage to cars. Its ice dischargers pose a threat when
combined with the driver's vehicular shotgun and the passenger's submachinegun.

in combination with the passenger's submachinegun to turn other vehicles
over (thus, "fulcrum"). Its ram plate is best used against other cycles,
as the vehicle is too light to do much damage to cars.

Accel. 5, Top Speed 60, H.C. 2, Wt. 3356 lbs.
Notes: Trikes have never gotten much respect... Until now. While
the Swarm is neither agile nor fast, it packs an earth shaking punch. Since
trikes' side mounted weapons have overlapping fields of fire, the Swarm's
twin V.F.R.P.s can unleash an unholy salvo of TWELVE rockets in a single
shot. These rockets are guided by a military targeting laser, allowing
them to hit on a 4 or better with no range penalties. The rockets themselves
do 1d6+1 each. That's an average of about 45 points of damage per salvo.
