116. Trikke
A Trikke is a three-wheeled standing personal-mobility vehicle with one front wheel and two rear wheels. The rider stands on platforms between the wheels and steers with handlebars. Depending on the model, propulsion may come from the rider's body movement or from an electric motor.
Trikke vehicles use a distinctive leaning or cambering frame that allows the rider to turn and manoeuvre by shifting body weight. The traffic rules that apply depend on whether the vehicle is motorised and on its technical characteristics.

How is a non-motorised Trikke treated in Belgium?
A human-powered Trikke that falls within the definition of a non-motorised personal mobility device is treated as a pedestrian when travelling no faster than walking pace and as a cyclist when travelling faster than walking pace.
How is an electric Trikke treated in Belgium?
If an electric Trikke meets the definition of a motorised personal mobility device, including a maximum design speed of no more than 25 km/h, its user is treated as a cyclist.
Do all Trikke models have the same legal status in Belgium?
No. The classification depends on the particular vehicle's propulsion and technical characteristics. A faster or differently constructed motorised Trikke may fall into another vehicle category and therefore be subject to different rules.
