Why trikes are different
A Can-Am Spyder, a Harley Tri Glide or a car-based custom trike has two wheels at one end, so it doesn’t sit in a chock and can be too wide for a narrow bike ramp or trailer. Trikes go on a full-width flatbed and are strapped down by the wheels, like a small car, so nothing presses on the bodywork.
Things we’ll ask
- Make and model, and whether the two wheels are at the front or the back.
- Whether it rolls and steers, and whether the parking brake releases.
- The overall width, if you know it.
- Whether it’s parked anywhere tight, like a garage or a narrow drive.
Common trike calls
Flat batteries, electrical faults and warning lights on Spyders and Rykers, and the occasional crash. Many trike owners are also older riders or riders with a disability; we’re happy to take you with the bike if there’s room in the cab.
