Also have to consider safety for the pedestrian which I think may be better for a 3 wheeler?

  Safety of all passengers certainly is not, just look at it. Easy to trip, roll, break necks, crush folks inside.

    Plus no seatbelts in many (all?) that I've ridden in

  If we're comparing to the 3-wheel design common in India, I'm not sure about that actually. I saw a video recently that showed how cars with a lower front profile do much less damage in collisions with pedestrians (because the pedestrians roll over the top I guess) compared to higher front profiles (which ensure the pedestrian takes the full force of the impact or even gets knocked in front of the vehicle and then run over) The 3-wheel design wouldn't allow for pedestrians in collisions "rolling over the top" but perhaps it's narrow enough that they could be knocked off to the side more easily? At the very least, being run over by one is probably much less dangerous than being run over by a larger car closer to the typical size in the western world.

  Maybe a little, but they are still heavy enough to be deadly if hit at speed.
