Tim, please post pics of your wheelchair rack when finished. I'm curious to see how it is rigged. I'm still in the research stages, but am curious how folks haul their chairs.
For those of you that are interested, or have been following, I’ve been documenting my spyder journey here from initial test ride up through licensure and beyond. My first ever exposure to the...
Thank you for doing that man! If nothing else, I think this could potentially give BRP an advertising avenue that they may not have thought about. When you look at the current advertising for the...
Unfortunately the width of the saddle on a full sized spyder is too wide for my legs to splay. They’ll do it, but not without a noticeable degree of discomfort. Then again, a few hours on the Ryker...
Some of you may致e seen my earlier post about test riding a Ryker at BRP parking lot event. Well, after speaking with the dealer sponsoring the event, and the folks from BRP, I enrolled in the...
I'm in Crozet, VA. Shockingly, I've actually seen a Ryker in my little town. Parked outside of the local brewery.
I was literally just on the phone with a local spyder tech who also happens to be a wheelchair user discussing this very issue. Apparently the aftermarket has yet to put out a ryker specific variant...
Glad I’m not the only one with the “splay” issue. I took a course to get my license this weekend and ran into the same problem. Stuck to the Ryker precisely due to its narrow width.
*disclaimer: wasn't really sure where to put this, but I figured it was general discussion*
Well, after over a decade of lusting, I finally got to throw a leg over a Can Am. BRP hosted the ride...
This is really interesting post, it's always fun to see that even the spyder veterans were newbies like myself at one point.

That's the cheapest Spyder I've found so far.:joke::roflblack:

I saw Transformers 2 for the first time yesterday, and although brief, I thought the spyder's appearance in the film was cool. Those phantoms looked really cool with the NEST graphics and military...
Parents, ponzi schemes, lotto tickets, or any combination of the three.:roflblack:

Thanks for all your help guys. I just gotta get my grubby little paws on a spyder...I'm off to buy some lotto tickets.:joke:

Now you guys should be able to see what I'm talking about.

Is the pic visible now? I was thinking that were I to hang it off of the back I would upgrade the rear shock to the kewlmetal air ride system so that I could adjust it for the load.

Outstanding! My main concerns would be a solid attachment point, and easy load/unload of the segway, as it is my mobility device and I am not able to lift it in and out of a trailer.

Here's one for the armchair engineers out there, is it possible to carry a segway on a spyder? As far as specific are concerned, the segway's footprint is 19 x 25 in and it weighs 105 lbs; would the...
Although expensive, worst comes to worse I would think you could run a handbrake, floorboards and risers.

:thumbup: I include that smiley 1. b/c you are incredibly crazy/tenacious, either way good for you. And 2. b/c I bet you were that shade of blue when you got home.:joke:

Cool stuff, methinks you should train them to ride with you on the spyder.

Lamonster, I have to ask, what's with the raccoons?

I don't currently have a spyder, but I've been lurking on the Internet in hopes of living the dream vicariously, and just general research.

Just wanted to say hello, and thank you to SpyderGirl for bringing this site to my attention.
