Exactly what I thought, Bob! Since it's a Big Wheel, that thing will drift like a big dog.

Just a few questions:

What kind of mileage does it get?


Can I boost the power?


When will they come out with one that leans?


What is the best tire pressure?


Where does my cup holder go?


Why won’t my CB work?


Why did they stop making the old model?


Should I get a Baja Ron Sway Bar?



and


What should I do if a Harley rider doesn’t wave back when I’m riding one of these?

Why is it called a Boomerang? Boomerang is a curved and sculptured piece of wood thrown by Aboriginal Australians to hunt for food.

Can I get one of these toys here in Australia. my grandson would be more than impressed (not his mum).

Cheers and beers

Maybe by calling it Boomerang the child is more assured of returning to da-da when he's done ryding!! :roflblack:

Maybe I missed something, but why did BRP misspell the name spider, and why does our vehicle not have 8 leg? There is no reason for naming anything.

Probably due to the fact that in the automotive world there's been history of sport convertibles named "Spyder" also.
See: Porsche Spyder, etc.

The "y" in :f_spider: refers to the "Y" factor which they advertised heavily in the earlier years. If you think about the two wheels in front and the single rear--you kind of get a "Y." When they first came out, they were considered very innovative with the "nanny" VSS. :thumbup:

As I have been corrected several times, I don't ride a Spyder trike, I ride a Spyder "Roadster".
Now when I was a young man, I had a '32 Ford Roadster, not even close, BUT in the early 1900s there were plenty of open cockpit cars called roadsters. And we have some current open air cars called the same. Not sure what the Canuks were shooting for?
So I ride a TrikeSter!

Roadster, motorcycle, whatever! The Spyder doesn't fit the traditional definition of either one, although it comes a whole lot closer to motorcycle than roadster!

OK, after watching that video, I want one! I cannot tell if the front wheels were pulling, or just moving with momentum provided by the rear. It also appeared to lean (the front wheels did anyway).
If I could find an adult version of that, I would buy it. And no, the slingsnot doesn't look that fun.

The product website says all wheel drive.

There you are, a classic example of what happens when you try running a round profile 'motorcycle' tire at road car pressures on the back of your Spy... errr, 3 wheel reverse tryke!! :yikes:


:joke: :roflblack: :yes: :rolleyes:


Interestingly tho, they are calling it an all-terrain vehicle, & show it off the black-top..... must have more ground clearance than my RT! :shocked:
