New member, yet to purchase!
Hello all.
I'm looking for a means for my wife and I to get out and see the country from a different viewpoint. I've owned many two wheeled bikes but never one with three. My wife is completely wheelchair dependent. I'm working several issues to see if the spyder will work for her.
Does anyone know the opening width and height of the can am trailer? We need to fit her folding manual wheel chair in the trailer.

There are several folks right here who are using the Spyder it that way, I have seen wheel chair mounts on them as well
so you don't have to drag around a trailer. that may be a bunch less money the ones I have seen are able to be locked into
the 2 inch trailer hitch receiver. check around on this forum. I am sure some one will have info you need, I can not give you
info. on the trailer I don't have one but your CanAm dealer does take your measuring tape and check it out to be sure.
Good Luck
Dave

We have a guy in our club that uses a wheelchair and has no problem fitting it into his Can Am trailer.

Welcome..!!
You came to the right place. There are other trailers depending on the type of traveling you are planning on doing. A manual folding chair will fit nicely and room for traveling stuff as well. Short trips you could use the hitch type. There have been several posts about the them here you could hunt them or google it google does better at finding threads here than anyone... hope you find what your looking for and are out there together...

thanks
Thanks everyone that replied. I went to a dealer today and they had no trailers, but have faith that her chair will fit. She is a small enough lady that uses the smallest adult chair available. With the price of wheelchairs we would prefer it protected in the trailer verses on a rack. The plan is to tow the spyder in an enclosed trailer to within a days ride from where we want to visit, then do day trips. As she says, she wants to see the country while it is still ours to see and she is able.
So, now on to price shopping. Seems like the 2014s at discounted prices are fading away, but I've located a couple that I'm willing to travel to get. I've yet to find any specials or discounts on a trailer.

WHEEL CHAIR
Since I only recommend a Spyder with the 1330 Ace engine ......I think your best bet would be a small flat bed TRAILER....like a Harbor Freight model......You could easily have someone make a frame and rivet some aluminum or galvanized sheet metal to it to fit your needs ......this would save you $ 2 to 3, 000 dollars and if designed right you wouldn't have to lift the chair out of the trailer.............just sayin.........Mike

Took the plunge
Alright, the plan is coming together. 2015 RT Limited in Pearl White will be uncrated for us tomorrow. I found the Spyder locally and a RT-622 trailer some distance away. Let the enabling modifications begin. Actually just need to modify the trailer a little. Wife is excited yet apprehensive.

Big question is can she transfer onto the Spyder? It might be difficult onto the back of the bike.
