Trike reviews

Went to see the motorcycle , when you go to the store the keep switching people you are dealing with. then they Feed you BS about 4 people in line for the same bike. After almost 3 hours and nobody want to negotiate on price i walked out. Saw the same bike listed 3 weeks later for 8k less , called about it and they said , oh that one is sold but here it is almost 2 months later and the same bike is on the web site, Show less

Fantastic bike... The engineering is first class, this is what harley would have actually wanted in a fully functional reliable motorcycle for keeps...It is a great combination of looks, ability in town or highway and able to be a solid friend for years to come. Go ride on and you will see! Show less

I had a 2008 GS(SM5) spyder and loved the trike. It road excellent, the power and speed was amassing, I had no trouble with it even being the 1st model year. It was scary on sharp curves you had to turn it and it would come around. The heat from the engine came out of the vents right on you legs and made it very hot in the summer, When it was colder out it acted like a heater and felt pretty good. The spark plug on the right side was a bear to get to, you had to take the side cover off and the completely disassemble the air cleaner housing and the use a swivel socket to get it and be carfoll not crack it or crossthead it. Poor design. If you pull to hard on the plug wire getting it off you will pull the will into causing a miss. Be sure to take it to a certified can am dealer to have serviced. Back yard mechanics don't have the know how. Show less

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. Show less

Looks nice. Ride is quite different from a two-wheel bike. IF it breaks , your ass will pay! No doubt about it. Routine maintenance can likewise be expensive. Check out repair shops, IF you can find one, for prior pricing. Show less

I have had 4 of these. I find them well suited for long-distance riding (which I do a lot of). Kawasaki made this same bike for 17 years (1986 to 2003). I now have converted my bike to a 3 wheeler because it weighs a lot and my knees were giving me problems. They are very reliable (if you take care of them). Find them dependable for about 75,000 miles. Show less

I took my safety course on the Spyder and fell in love. It is fun and easy to ride. Takes corners and curves faster than 2 wheels and drives like a car. Anyone can handle a Spyder. I recommend it to anyone and everyone. Show less

Anyone thinking about going from 2 wheels to three should always test drive a conventional trike and a Spyder to assess the difference in safety, maneuverability and over handling. The Spyder wins hands down. I rode 2 wheelers before going to the RTS in 2010. 30,000 miles on a CanAm and I can state without reservation this is a great design, stable platform and unbelievably maneuverable. You never have to worry about laying another bike down. Very reliable. Show less

This thing is awesome, my wife and I both love it! If you have issues that prevent you from riding a motorcycle such as bad knees, etc, this is an excellent alternative. Even if not or if you never rode a motorcycle, these are tons of fun. Really nice ride on the back roads with lots of twists and turns yet super comfortable and powerful for long cruises on the open highway! Show less

I turned 70 a few years ago, and I traded in my Fatboy for a Tri-Glide. It was a good move. I had a few other trikes in the past and they were rough, but I test rode a Harley and what a revelation. Even though it's a solid axel, it was surprisingly smooth. And with the rake on the front end, steering isn't all that hard. The seat is one of the best I've had on a bike, and I've had a few BMWs. My wife agrees. If you are ready for the stability, it's a great choice. They do produce heat, so be aware of that. I did reduce it with a no cat header and a set of mellow crusher mufflers. Good sound, improved power. The paint rock chips a bit easier than I like. Fender covers fixed that. The Lehman factory setup got it pretty much just right. Try it, you'll like it. Show less
