Can a side car "b' added to a trike??

[Burnerboy]

I just got my Roadsmith trike delivered to my home...It's so new to me that I havn't even ridden one mile on it yet....Too cold/salty outside...

Any way can a side car also b added to my triked out Goldwing....Heck! I might as well go all out, I've gone this far.........

Thanks,

Gotta ask -------- Why :Shrug: Plus you will exceed the 8' wide limit.

When my wife asks a question like this, my stock answer is, "We can do anything you want. How much are you willing to spend?" Except for the money, I would think the biggest limitation would be keeping the width legal.

While not exactly a trike with a separate sidecar, Hannigan used to make a "Tricar". Saw one for a few years at the Davis Rally in Iowa. Was very interesting it check out in person.





They had a fire some years back, and apparently the molds were lost, and not enough Tricars were sold to justify retooling.

Man .... that has got to be one costly trike to work on.

The Hannigan Tri-car is pretty cool.

No but at one time you could have bought a hannigan Tri-car, that was a true trike with a sidecar attached.
Unfortunately Hannigan does not make it anymore, but every once in a while one will pop up.

Well, a side car can be added to a tractor I see .... so why not a trike .... as long as one stays within 8 feet. Between acceleration, braking, turning, weight of trike plus offset weight of side car .... be hard on forks and front tire though.
Not something I'd want to be part of either as a passenger, driver, or meet.

I have seen Hannigan Tri-Cars up close and met in rides, it is a sharp looking Trike ....just has that offset putting SC pass over to shoulder in the US.

 

[Burnerboy]

wow! Now "that" would b cool!
I'd order that in a heart beat! O'well too late now, I'm now a triker, with zero miles under my belt.............:clapping:

I've looked at it as close as I can, looks like a mount strut running behind wheel from side car to front lower point of engine front. It does look like the front wheel would hit the side car if turned right, but resolution makes it hard to see clearly. The shadows look correct though.
