I thought it would be fun to start this thread to help anyone new to RT's or even new to automotive terminology...I encourage anyone to add to the list of ones I might have missed. ;D This list will also avoid extra typing of repeated phrases as I myself do not enjoy typing...ha ha RT=Reverse Trike RWD=Rear Wheel Drive FWD=Front Wheel Drive A/C=Air Conditioning A/T or AT=Automatic Transmission MC=Motorcycle MCE=Motorcycle Engine ICE=Internal Combustion Engine SC=Steering Column DB=Disk Brakes CD=Coefficient Drag FS=Front Suspension RS=Rear Suspension TPS=Throttle Position Sensor ECU=Engine Control Unit ECM=Electronic Control Module EGR=Exhaust Gas Recirculation EFI=Electronic Fuel Injection MPFI=Multi-Port Fuel Injection LCA=Lower Control Arm UPA=Upper Control Arm FG=Fiber Glass BEC=Bike Engine Car (from 3verse) Dave

Not acronyms, but important for trikes:
Tadpole (or Reverse Trike or RT) - trike configuration where two wheels are in front, one wheel in back. Delta - opposite of Tadpole. One wheel in Front, two wheels in back. TTW - Tilting Three Wheeler
Also, some dynamics acronyms particularly important for tilting vehicles (of which, trikes are often a part of):
CS - Counter Steer(ing) MCS - Manual Counter Steering ACS - Automatic Counter Steering
