The
following are the stock motorcycle trike questions we get asked
all the time.
For both the Honda and the Harley Motor Trike Conversions
Q.
How much does a kit cost?
A. Average kit cost is $10,000.00 installed. You can add or deduct
features but $10,000.00 is a good rule of thumb.
Q.
How do I buy a trike?
A. There are three ways:
1. We can convert your bike to a trike if it is a Honda or Harley
(excluding the Sportster).
2. You can buy a bike and then we convert it to a trike.
3. Since we are an actual dealership we have trikes that are already
converted on our showroom floor that can be purchased ready to
go.
Q.
Can you buy a trike kit from Harley or Honda?
A. No there are a number of trike conversion companies with dealers
scattered across the USA & Canada. Harley and Honda provide
the motorcycle then the conversion company removes and rear wheel
and saddlebags and bolt-on the conversion kit. The kit consists
of two automotive wheels, a differential and new driveshaft, fenders,
and rear trunk. The kit is painted to match the color of your
bike at the factory.
Q.
I heard that 3-wheelers were unstable and banned?
A. That was the old 3-wheel ATVs made by Honda that were tipping
over. These trikes have a low center of gravity, 6-cylinder and
large V-Twin engines, limited slip differentials, extremely wide
rear tires that are very stable under all conditions encountered
on the road.
Q.
What are the advantages of a trike over a regular motorcycle?
A. The most obvious is stability you do not have to put your feet
down when you stop. You can ride without fear of tipping over
with or without a passenger. You can ride over metal grated bridges
with no fear. You can take the trike down dirt or gravel roads
with ease. You won’t get fatigued in stop and go traffic.
Q.
Can I test drive a trike?
A. You will need a valid motorcycle license and we are working
on:
1. Offering a demo on trikes in stock.
2. A rental company that will offer trikes on a daily or weekly
basis.
Q.
What if I don’t have a motorcycle license?
A. These are the criteria:
1. Take the written test offered by the Arizona DMV to get a 6
months permit.
2. Contact Motorcycle Rider Training @ 623-979-1839 or check out
the web site @ www.AZMRT.com for a course on riding trikes.
3. (or) you can take the DMV driving course while riding on a
trike.
