What does TRIKE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An informal, shortened word for tricycle, a three-wheeled vehicle.
Trike clips the longer word tricycle down to a single easy syllable, the way a child's pedal-powered trike gets its name from the small three-wheeled toy familiar from most driveways and playgrounds. The word extends beyond children's toys as well, naming a motorized three-wheeled motorcycle that adult riders use on the open road. Delivery workers in some cities also ride cargo trikes built with a large front basket for hauling goods through crowded streets. In every case, trike keeps the same basic sense as tricycle, just in a shorter, more casual form.
