Default Automobile: why dont a differential is used in three wheelers

why dont a differential is used in three wheelers?????
i have seen many autos in which no differetial is used just a bevel gear assembly is used which trasmits power to the two wheels at 90 degrees.

There is of course a differential but not in the conventional form. only one of the rear wheels gets power from the engine. The other one is free to rotate. that makes them independent of one another and thus taking turns is no problem. The same applies to cycle rickshaws.

There is a different principal here. One of the rear wheel is free to rotate and the other is driven by the engine. So both the wheel rotate at the required respective RPM while cornering.
