More 3-wheelers on road
Numbers more than double in 3 years;
one of seven models here is classified as a car

The Corbin Sparrow from the US is classified as a car. It costs about $80,000 once all taxes are added. -- ST PHOTO: STEPHANIE YEOW
THREE-WHEELERS no longer just mean tricycles for children. More adults here are taking to owning three-wheeled vehicles, with numbers for such vehicles having more than doubled in the last three years.
In 2007, there were just 84 three-wheelers on the roads; that number rose to 151 in 2008 and to 184 last year.
As of last month, there are 194 three-wheelers registered here.
