Trike reviews

I bought a can am spyder armrest from Wild West. It did not fit my bike. They quoted me one price then reneg on it. I had brp money so said ok and let them keep the balance. It was not right for the bike - not sure if it is actually the right part because the fit is horrible. I have tried to return it. First answer was you are not a dealer so no returns. I complained and wrote a long letter explaining to them that they knew I wasn’t a dealer when they sold it to me. They finally agreed to take back but warned me it had to be packed well and could not be damaged. So I knew I had to pack better than the flimsy 1/4 foam sheets it was mailed to me with. I did ask for an rma number. They said none needed. I got a bunch of bubble wrap and did a great job wrapping everything and taping it up tight. I sent it back fedex. It cost me half what they charged me to ship it fedex(bet they charge full price when they charge shipping). It got there. They refused it because it did not have a rma number. What crap!!! Do not do business with these dishonest people!!! Sent from John's iPhone Show less

This is our first trike and we are hooked. We are ready for a newer model, with less miles, and a warranty package. We hate to sell Belle, but it is time. There is nothing wrong with her except for a burned out a light bulb. I am disabled and not able to fix it. Show less

My spyder is a POS, it is always breaking down. Not reliable at all. In the 2 years I have had it , it's been in shop a dozen times. I ant enjoy riding it bc im worried it will break down. Iwill never buy another can am Show less

It rides great with easy turning radis. Quick response and great looks. This Can Am F3 is the perfect way to go. Price is good too. When driving on the highway it handles easy. This is an all around great riding long distance bike. Show less

I rode 2 wheelers for over 55 years, but due to health reasons I had to make a choice. Either give up riding or buy a Trike. This is my 2nd. Trike and it is to me the only way to travel. Never having to put your feet down at stops or balance it, very comfortable ride, has a reverse, plenty of power to keep up with the big dogs. Show less

It’s fun to drive for an old fart like me. It has a learning curve. It’s not anything like my Harley’s I have But it feels very safe. I can see the two wheel’s in front of me. I don’t have any problems with them running off the road or hitting things this bike is very comfortable and very fast. It down shifts automatically Came with all the extras, like AM /FM radio, GPS, Bluetooth, great storage,great back rest. Computer assist breaking, electric windshield that allows you to rais and lower the windshield, heated grip’s and seats both front and rear, cruise control This bike has a lot of safety features. I thought my riding days were over. But with the large foot rest it makes it easy get on and off for both riders Show less

Actually I own a 2020 Spyder RT Limited with 9,2k on the odometer. Today was the day taking my Spyder out for a road trip down to the Emerald Coast. What a fantastic journey! The RT Ltd makes touring become a wonderful adventure that no trike enthusiast wants to miss. The smoothest ride ever. After 380 miles riding almost non-stop with a couple of shorter breaks I can say that this machine rides super comfortable and having the three luggage compartments on board is a truly valuable add on. People at gas stations approached me asking how this trike performs and I told them, go, try yourself. I rode the North Georgia Mountains, the Blue Ridge, Cherohala Skyway. Now it’s time to explore the Emerald Coast. Average speed 75 mph on the Interstates and just the usual signs of fatigue after being more than 7 hours on freeways. Grooved pavements and heftier wind gusts from the sides are handled bravely by this hips performer, this Spyder RT Ltd rolls and rolls and rolls. A lot of fun is guaranteed too.. The engine itself is super quiet, compared with the groaning of a V2. My Fuel consumption is 34.3 mpg. My riding position is super comfortable with the lumbar support and by having added an Airhawk seat cushion which also keeps the heat off the seat. Review was written by a 60 Rider with a proven track of more than three decades on two wheelers and who had decided two years ago to go with the trike option. No regrets on that, not at all. Can-Am gets my kudos for the reinvention of combining riding fun and adventure on a superior quality level. Show less

Ural's "From Russia With Love" edition (FRWL) is the best model so-far produced by Ural (including the 2022 line-up, a topic for another post). The FRWL was a limited edition of 35 units, all themed on James Bond's silver Aston Martin DB5. Here, Ural made a credible effort to include 007-esque features (covered extensively in other articles) and furthered the exclusivity of the edition by giving every unit a distinct name, each based on a noted Soviet-era female spy and stitched into the sidecar's leather dashboard (I own "Polina"). The rig is, in a word, gorgeous. 1. RELIABILITY The model is still too new to comment on long term reliability, but we can expect it to be Good based on Ural's commitment to improving and correcting past woes. Rather than "fixing" Russian-born issues, Ural applied proven components from trusted brands such as Ducati, Brembo, Keihin and Kuryakyn. The 750cc engine is air cooled and reliably simple, turning a robust shaft drive to the pusher wheel (with another shaft that can be operator-engaged to turn the sidecar wheel). The carbs were replaced by Ural with fuel injection. Disc brakes on all 3-wheels. A time-tested leading link fork. Literally battle-proven frame and sidecar. Failing that, all new Urals come with a 2-year/unlimited mileage warranty. 2. QUALITY As mentioned above, Ural is persistent in making the brand better year-by-year, an effort quite apparent in 2019 and later models. Still not equal to top-name motorcycle brands, but most of the FRWL quality shortcomings are cosmetic rather than functional (e.g., chrome parts that surface rust too quickly). If you buy a Ural, buy wax. 3. PERFORMANCE The Ural is powered by a 750cc air cooled engine. By conventional motorcycle standards it is under-powered, even without the sidecar. If you want to pull an 10-second 1/4-mile with the weight of a WWII sidecar and passenger tagging along, you don't want a Ural. If you want to cruise at 65 mph and aren't in a hurry to get there, you won't be disappointed. Ural's braking performance is better than adequate, especially given inherently awkward sidecar dynamics. BUT I do wish Ural offered anti-lock brakes. Off-road performance is remarkable: A low first gear gives the operator a sense one could climb trees, and true 2WD that allows me to keep-up with ATVs. This same traction lets me cruise snow-covered New England streets that otherwise keep most bikers grounded. The Ural has a rare ability to perform competently on Show less
