Trike Motorcycles For Sale near Columbus, OH

Riding Three Wheel Motorcycles

Trikes, or 3 wheelers, have been popular with both individual riders and professional organizations like law enforcement for decades. Some riders use them as their primary means of transportation, thanks to their stability and the amount of power they can provide. If you need to tow a small trailer or haul heavy cargo, a trike will do the job well. You can’t rely on a motorcycle for jobs like that! Three wheelers come in a number of styles to suit many different riders’ needs, too, so you have no end of options.

Your local 3 wheeler dealer is Motorcycle Maxx in Lewis Center, OH, so pay us a visit after reading our explanation of what makes trikes great!

The Trike Motorcycle Experience

Trikes are certainly unique beasts. You might be used to a standard bike with 2 wheels, so you’re going to need to adapt how you ride when you move up to a 3 wheeler. One fortunate aspect of 3 wheeled motorcycles is how stable they are: you don’t have to worry about keeping your feet on the ground to maintain your balance when stopped because of the inherent stabilization provided by the three wheels.

However, because they don’t tip to the side easily, this means that your biggest challenge when learning to ride a trike is turning. You won’t be able to simply lean your body weight into the turn and your turns will need to be slower and have a wider radius. Approach this as though you were riding a large lawn tractor: turn the handlebars steadily as you slow down to complete the turn. This won’t feel intuitive at first, but with some practice, you’ll easily adapt!

Types Of 3 Wheelers

You’ll find three main types of trikes currently available on the market: urban scooters, weekend mid-distance sport trikes and long-distance touring 3 wheelers. The scooter style is great for the commuter or casual rider who isn’t looking for high-speed thrills with its lighter weight and easy handling.

For a machine that can offer you more power, a mid-distance sport trike is good. Your best bet for long rides, though, is a touring model, which is ergonomically designed to be more comfortable even when you ride for hour after hour. You’ll want to talk to the staff here at Motorcycle Maxx to determine which 3 wheeled motorcycle is right for you.
