Throughout the world, three-wheelers have generally lagged traditional four-wheelers in terms of popularity. Three-wheelers with a delta design are frequently used as taxis in India and other developing nations for short- to medium-distance travel. Because of its low cost-to-efficiency ratio, it is also used commercially. Since three-wheelers are more compact than four-wheelers compared to motorcycles, they are typically utilized for personal transportation in developed nations. Three-wheeled vehicles with the Tadpole and Delta configurations can handle quite differently, and each has its own benefits and drawbacks. This study aims to first compare the Tadpole and Delta configurations' static stability factors for both passenger and commercial use. Using Multibody Simulation software, the handling performance of both configurations will be examined. The study will also compare the FWD and RWD Tadpole configuration designs and will be offering design recommendations for vehicles that will alleviate their propensity to roll over.
