So why is it called 'Ryker'?
Seems like an odd name. I looked it up and it means, "Ryker, meaning rich". Why didn't they name it so it can be depicted in some way? I mean, a Spyder is depicted by...a spider. You can get spider decals for it and it makes sense.

I have read the following statement: The artificial word fuses the terms "Ryder" - Can-Ams word creation for Spyder-driver - and biker

Maybe the designer is a big star trek fan and the Ryker can be depicted by a Riker? I can't wait for someone to put a Riker decal on their Ryker.

To me it sounds like a word condensed from their slogan "ride like no other"

From what I could read ...
The name Ryker is of Danish origins and is used mostly in English speaking countries.
Danish meaning: Strong power
Ride safe!

I found a source on the name Ryker: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonfo...n-waiting-for/
Second paragraph, second sentence:
The name “Ryker” is derived from “Ride” and “Biker,” with a “Y” substitution paying tribute to the Spyder.

Maybe the reason is the same as why you have your name. It's just what your parents decided to call you. Could be that simple .

That's exactly what I always think when I see the name...
Adding a star trek emblems on the side of the trike will be probably quite fitting .

Spyder has nothing to do with spiders, instead it is another word used for roadsters, and we all kniw a Can-Am Spyder is a roadster andnot a Motorcycle.
