The trike is good-looking, and comfortable to sit on, but this is where it stops. Its problems are never-ending. The most unreliable engine I have ever owned. Within days of purchasing a brand new 2022 Spyder (Sea to Sky), it started to give a consistent error message. The battery is weak, a few days without running or charging and its dead ( a few days, no longer and in a warm weather). Approximately a month after its purchase, the rear box latch started to get temperamental, locks at times, doesnt at times. The signs of open door is out or order, now less than a year after its purchase, a recall because of " serious risk" related to malfunctioning brake lights. The nearest service centre is a 100 km away, and they advise immediate return. Lots of other issues in 10 months. Actually, there is rarely a month without a malfunction of a kind, mostly electrical. It feels that the idea exceeds the capacities of the manufacturer. I hope that some of the other, more reliable manufacturers will start to venture more into the trike market, sparing riders the limitations that BRP can not develop past. It is alarming that BRP is finding its way in the electric vehicle market, despite its limitations being so focused in electronics.

I am the original owner. This Can Am has been an outstanding bike that has never let me down. I personally rode it for the entire 24,600 miles. It is a very comfortable bike as my wife will attest. She has enjoyed almost every mile with me. Additional item have been added to the bike such as: Trailer hitch, Magic Mirrors, Luggage rack, Sway Bar, Riding Pegs, 2 USB ports on dashboard, New Battery. Complete oil change including oil, oil filter, air filter and all new O rings less than a 1,000 miles ago.

I have owned this motorcycle since 2017 - purchased new. In August, 2020, the display on the cycle wouldn't light up and the cycle had significant difficulty starting. Once started, it cruised without problem to my next stop. Again, it had difficulty starting. Once started and moving, it had difficulty shifting out of 1st gear. I pulled over to the side ... started off again and it moved into 2nd gear but then refused to move out of second gear. Hard stop. Had it towed to MotoUnited - Draper, UT - a certified dealer/repair shop. It is now the end of January, 2021 - no resolution. The motorcycle has not been able to be started. MotoUnited has contacted the manufacturer and they have no solution. Pretty pitiful.
