    Certainly has ground clearance!
    I suppose that top speed would suffice for a city commuter.

    Tuesday, I stopped at Lowes in Bullhead City, AZ, coming back from ranch and saw Axis 500 side by sides for $7,999.
    Well equipped with roof, windshield, front winch, 4WD, decent size fuel tank, dump bed, 2 year warranty...but where would one obtain parts?!

    Lowes does not sell them in Nevada.

    I'm sure it's technically inferior to the Ryker, but to my eye, it's better looking.
    If it ain't broke, don't break it.

    If it's the Massimo, I don't quite feel comfortable about their "improved aerodynamic fork" feature. Wonder if the previous version, assuming there was one, was non-aerodynamic, or whether they recently discovered improved aerodynamics. Regardless, it don't suspect Ryker sales will suffer.

    My first thought was "where are the pedals"? Looks like a backwards overgrown Murray tricycle to me.

    Hardly a competitor for Ryker.
    The Ryker is afterall a quite high performing trike in the premium segment, while this looks to be bordering close to the toy segment.
    It may have some uses as a relatively cheap transport for commuting at low speeds etc. Not anything I would ever buy, but maybe there is a market for it

    Just some intersting things:
    1. Drum brakes! on a bike/trike in 2020! that's funny
    2. 177cc and 9hp combined with 419lbs weight, that's going to be slooooooooow!
    3. Some tweaks and it could look allright, but that headlight doesnt do the bike any favours...

    Ahhh, but they only have drum brakes on the FRONT.

    It has a hydraulic disk on the REAR.

    Any competition for Can-Am is good for us. Ask Honda how many 125cc scoots they have sold to date - millions. It’s just another lower price point to get more riders into the segment; happy to wave when they roll by....

    Why would you use motorcycle tyres on the front? One advantage of the Ryker and Spyder is that the front tyres have a square profile = more rubber on the road.

    I could see it being a three-wheel alternative to the Kimco scooters in urban areas like college towns. It would need some luggage options to be practical. I'm trying to be more open minded for 2021.

    Wow didn't even bother coming up with another name just straight out called it a Spider. Mind you I feel like can am should have named theirs Scorpion instead since it resembles that more than a spider.

    Interesting, found conflicting info! Studying the pictures they got disc brakes, but at the same time they claim front drum brakes on the same website.
    Perhaps not the most important factor here, but still it does not exactly boost the confidence in the product and brand when such basic data is conflicting on their official site.

    It kind of reminds me of the Piaggio MP3 tilting 3-wheeler. I test rode one once, an interesting experience.
