To rapidly recognize whether a three-wheeled kick bike is a shelter steer type, attempt to turn the handle bars similarly you would on a bike. They don’t turn. Be that as it may, tilt the handle bar horizontally (with all the bike wheels in contact with the ground) and you will see the front two wheels will pivot about the controlling segment to guide the bike.
