    Default No reverse

    I'm guessing with a twist and go throttle, the Ryder does not have a reverse gear huh?

    It has a lever on the left to shift it in reverse

    You're in the "Can Am Spyjker" area of discussion; so that is the model being discussed...

    ...and it does have reverse!

    Has reverse.. but no power steering.

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    With the skinnier front tires and lower weight: it's just not needed.

    Default One would think..🤔

    If so they would have to knock down the price a bit more.... once worked on a mo-ped from Russia that if it started on a backfire it would run in reverse.. was a fun bike and messed with folks wanting a test ride...

    Default reverse

    It does have reverse, just like an ATV with a CVT has reverse. The driven clutch of the CVT powers a "gear box", a very simple gearbox that has only forward, reverse (selected via a lever above the left foot peg area) and a pin locked, manual "park". The park is neither forward or reverse, but a locked, non movingf position
