Autocycle....GM isn't Ford isn't Toyota ... you get the idea

autocycle works, my concern is a bunch folks we'll be turned off by anything "cycle". -they might think a motorcycle with automatic tranny.

I'm just going to call it a tricycle and let people think what they want...

My uncle had a cycle with an automatic transmission. He lost both his legs below the knees. He got rid of the bike though but said it worked pretty well

generic for vehicle of any type with 3 wheels = trike

with 2 wheels up front, possibly reverse trike

but trike nonetheless

 

[RUCRAYZE]

"Three-wheeler" cars, usually microcars, are often built for economic reasons: in the UK for tax advantages, or in the US to take advantage of lower safety regulations, being classed as motorcycles. As a result of their light construction and potential better streamlining, three-wheeled cars are usually less expensive to operate.(wikipedia)
