Has anyone seen anywhere you can buy a sidecar for the Spyder. Would love to be able to take all 3 of us with one Spyder. I probably know the answer but thought I would ask anyway.:D

SORRY!
Nobody builds one currently for the Spyders... :gaah:

I would highly recommend against doing that. The Spyder will become quite unstable and unpredictable, in my estimation. A vehicle with three tracks, no pivot point, and electronics and suspension engineered for something far different, could pose unsurmountable safety and handling problems.

I Agree, But that never stopped anyone from building something that was both outrages and,
Dangerous. :roflblack:

Another issue from the guys that put training wheel setups (like Voyager) on their Goldwings..Some states insist on automotive standards when you go beyond 3 wheels.

Thanks for the link. I missed it for some reason. Guess we're just going to HAVE to buy another Spyder soon.

Didn't they once believe that if a locomotive got up to 60mph; it'd suck all of the air out of the passenger cars and everybody would die? :shocked:

The only Trains i rode on were the NYC subways, So with the Square wheels they used there was never a worry about them hitting 60mph. :D

How about 3 seater tandem, maybe a good seat maker can stitch one up and alot cheaper than a sidecar. A streach spyder RT SE5 Version anyone? Can anyone make a graphic picture pls.:yes::yes::yes: Love it

I would probably leave the side car off the :ani29:. My concern would be safety issues and probably all kinds of issues with the nanny. Sidecar rigs handle differently, and when you throw in the dynamics of three additional wheels I see potential problems.

Oh Heck...Just mount a "chair" on both sides that you can hydraulically deploy like the stabilizers on a backhoe!

there are trike kits made with three wide seating, but all I have seen are single front wheel. Auto engines
Brothers of the third wheel have a forum with some on it

It is definitely a staged shot. First of all, the color of the sidecar doesn't match the Spyder PLUS the front of the sidecar is supported by a cinderblock and NOT connected to the Spyder. I have a GL1800 Trike, but NO sidecar. I was told that you can't have 3 people on a motorcycle even with a sidecar. This is in New Jersey. If it's a motorcyle, you can only have 2 people total.

Nope'
If the bike has seats and foot pegs for two, Then one person in the hack makes 3 people,
And legal.

How about a stretched limo version? Could be every bit as fun as the now outlawed water winnie! :D

You could be right. I sort of agree with you. This statement was said to me by an employee of East Coast Cycle Center, Bensalem,Pa. This MIGHT possibly be a Pa. state law. I don't really know. Just hearsay. I would have to check with the Police or State Police. He said someone had 2 little kids in a GL1500 double seated sidecar, and no one could really see them. LOL
