A Sidecar Motorcycle offers a unique mode of transportation that is both fun and practical for the rider and any passengers lucky enough to be invited. It also offers an opportunity to take much more luggage than a traditional 2 wheeled motorcycle...and that "luggage" can include your favorite pet...lol. All kidding aside, having owned several of these amazing vehicles...I can say without hesitation that it will provide fun...econonical...and practical transportation. As well as a wonderful source of recreation.

Be aware in your potential purchase of sidecarmotorcycles. First off, I would look for one that was professionally installed or fabricated.

I would look for one that has additional braking on the actual sidecar because of the extra weight that the sidecar and potential extra luggage and passengers will create..which perhaps could overstress just the regular two wheeled motorcycle's braking system.

Another thing to look for is to make sure that the motorcycle powering the rig is a big enough and strong enough bike to support the extra weight. I personally think that I wouldn't mess with anything under 1300cc...probably the bigger the better.

Also, sidecarmotorcycles with a hydraulic or electric camber control is a very valuable asset to have. What this means is that you have a means of raising or lowering the actual sidecar itself to accomodate various grades or inclines that the road you're travleling on might present. For example...if you are on a road with a slight elevation to the right of the lane you're on, the rig will want to pull to the left and it can be a real "handful". The camber control would allow you in this case to lower the sidecar which would eliminate the pulling to the left in this case.
I have provided a few links throghout this page to show you the sidecarmotorcycles that I have had the privilege of owning at operating at some point or another. At this point, I am down to one sidecar motorcycle "rig", this being a 1988 HarleyDavidson Electraglide Classis with factory sidecar..one of 140 ever built in this year with only 2100 original miles. Very rare...almost too rare to ride and thus I don't.

Many people consider sidecarmotorcycles to be 3 wheel motorcycles but more generally these fall under a completely different category called MotorcycleTrikes. Both types of vehicles offer you the security of not worrying about balancing the vehicle when coming to a stop but they are very different. Below, please find a link to the page explaining MOTORCYCLE TRIKES.
