Honda GoldWing Trike vs CanAm Spyder for Disabled riders 

You’re literally the only video on the Internet that explains any of this stuff. The rest of them are dumb two minute videos with music and other stupid stuff added thanks for your time.

Awesome John Thanks so much…. I shared it to a friend who is transitioning from a 2 wheeler. Awesome comparison.

Thank you for this video!!! Life happens and unfortunately this what I’m going to turn to if I want to ride again. Your video was very informative.

Thank you so much Really your explanation was so much useful to me , I will go with gold wing thanks again ,Saudi Arabia

Awesome! So glad that you are able to ride and feel the wind on your face! Several years ago I stopped just off the interstate in Guthrie, Oklahoma at a restaurant called Braums(main claim is great ice cream and shakes to go with the food). I was finishing my meal and watching a guy in a wheel chair roll up to a early Can Am trike. As I watched, he proceeded to get himself on the trike, pull the chair, remove the wheels and secured them on one side, folded the chair to fit the other side(I can't remember if he had the side bags), started that baby and was on his way. I was impressed! What I'm getting to is whether you ever thought of trying to use a more collapsable chair to fit behind you, or if that would even work. Plus, you wouldn't be able to fit a passenger. Well, just thinking out loud. Glad you're still riding!!

Nice side by side comparison. 👍🏻 subbing. I too also have been ridding many years. Had a pretty big stroke a few years back which robbed me of my ability to balance, so 2 wheels is not an option anymore. I probably could ride but my wife isn’t up for it. Which I don’t blame her, I don’t know that I would be up for it either, riding alone, maybe but not with a ridder on back. I survived the stroke VERY well. I drive for a living and I do about 23 to 270 miles a day. I have gotten safe driver awards every year and I have many hours of Smith training. Don’t own a Spyder yet but I think I’ll be getting one for this next season. It gets pretty cold here in Illinois in the winter and I didn’t ride in the winter in the past anyway. Great video, subbing. Keep your head on a swivel and stay safe!!

I had a 2008 Hyosung 250 scooter that had the same set-up as the Honda. Good to see that that mod is available to motorcycles....12 years later.

This was very helpful. I’m not in a wheelchair, But, Two knee replacements and RA Keep me from feeling comfortable on two wheels. Very good video. Thank You.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I too am a para but am lower with an L1 incomplete injury so balance is not as much of an issue. I have had a 2014 Spyder RT-S since last summer and it is great to be back in the saddle again after many years of riding. I too wish they would lean but that's a small sacrifice to make.

Thank you for the video it was very educational I am glad you still get out and ride stay safe have fun.🥇🏍🏍🏍🏍

Impressive video, simple and direct.. thanks

Thank you I own a 2013 spyder trip looking to upgrade to gold wing I’m 5.1 I like gold wing for its smooth ride and easy to work on I search for 2 wheels in front goldwing and look at tiling motor works you have 2 wheels in front and you can lean like no other the conversion starts at 13k they are equipped with air shocks watch RU-vid videos I enjoyed watching your video it will help me make a informed decision thank you ride safe

Excellent video. I'm considering buying a GL1800 trike (2005) but I have to have it converted to electric gear shifter as I'm a left leg below knee amputee. I rode motorcycles for 23 years, riding bikes such as the ST1300, GL1800, FJR1300AE, and BMW K1600.

clever engineering. best wishes from the u k . I cannot ride a geared bike now as i have trouble with my left foot. i have 4 twist and go scooters . i am 73 and still love riding.

Very informative video. Thank you for sharing your experience and insight.

Thank you for sharing. I am looking to get a trike and have mobility issues so I wanted to know if they could be modified in the future. I still don’t know what to get but this helps.

Hi John, I lost my right leg and use a prosthetic . I have a Goldwing trike and also moved my foot brake the same way you did. Been thinking of the can am after seeing your video I think I will stick with my wing, Thanks Much,

Brilliant review. I am searching for a heavy bike for myself.

I’m also a paraplegic rider. Much respect to you 😎👍

Fantastic bikes. Well executed appointments.

Nothing compares to that Goldwing DCT. It’s like heaven on wheels.

John, WOW great video.

Nice video, good info. Best regards from Aruba.

I'm going to get some sort of 3 wheeler in the future due to having a 25 year old autistic son (who would not be terribly stable on the back of a two wheel) we want to be able to take him with us when we decide to take bikes out. 👍🏻 Excellent video! 😊

You might like the Honda neowing if they ever make it. Great video

Arcimoto now owns Tilting Motorworks which made leaning front ends for motorcycles. They made conversion kits to turn a two wheeler into a reverse trike. It allowed the trike to stand upright on its own, to auto adjust to the self-balancing upright position at 5 MPH or slower, and meant you didn't have to plant your feet on the ground as soon as you came to a stop. Arcimoto makes the FUV (Fun Utility Vehicle) which is basically a trike with an open air roll cage. Various door options exist. The riders have to use two overlapping safety belts to strap in to prevent them from falling out on turns. It should be much easier for you to mount it as it is set more at normal sitting height for a chair. Not sure if that makes sense. I don't have one but I have seen loads of their videos. One other type of leaning trike you may like is the Carver One. It is fully enclosed. The front portion / cabin leans into the turns while the two rear wheels and motor remain vertical. Interior is very much like a normal motorcycle. It carries two people in tandem. They also make a cargo variation of it. There are gasoline and electric versions of the Carver leaning trike. There are also specially made trikes for wheelchair users that allow you to roll into the rear of the trike, lock your chair down, you don't have to get off the wheelchair, and then the rest of the vehicle is more like a traditional trike. There is also the tank chair but I believe that is geared more for trails, off road adventures, the beach, etc.

Hello john l am from morrocco l am very happy to be your friend l am so handicape

I look at a Spyder, looked at the reviews and decided to go with 2019 HD Tri-Glide Ultra. I am getting use to riding a trike, in reference to turns...etc... And though there is a difference in regards to riding, from a traditional motorcycle...finding its pretty easy. Good to see ya still riding 👊respect👊! If your ever down in the Arizona area, give me a heads-up...I'll ride with ya!!👍

congrats man i admire your spirit

Great work. Thank you

Do you have more of a 2 wheel feeling riding the Goldwing? Love the video Mr Dains. Thank you for your service. I rode bikes for many years before beoming a T-8 para. The backrest for Spyders are excellent imo. I understand the issues of not counter steering and leaning but would like to know if you get a more motorcycle feeling (even if it's going straight) with the Goldwing? Most able body people don't understand what I'm asking. If anyone is reading this I would like to hear anyone's opinion who's disabled and have ridden both. Thanks to all and stay safe.

Mantap..!Layaknya sepda motor seperti itu, bukan hanya untuk penyandang disabilitas agar lebih nyaman, roda dua tidak layak karena beresiko tinggi

Very Informative!

Great video it was very informative. Can you tell me where I could get these options and what they may cost. I am a bi-lateral bk amputee and want to do the goldwing route. Thanks so much god bless

Very informative video. Will share with a para' friend. Just a thought. Would putting velcro on your jacket and the backrest help with keeping you "stuck" to the backrest?

Great review

WOW ! beautiful three wheeled motorcycle .

Could you have a rack behind the passenger sit in the Honda so once you sit you could transfer your chair yourself? I mean you fold your chair and place it on that rack, then secure it with some clips or elastic bands. Just a thought...

Awesome video

for wheelchair carry there is a rack called "tilt & tote' that fits on back in the reece receiver. I also have one on my car. Much cheaper than a trailer. depending on the source seller, the Tilt and Tote is $150-$500. seems like same thing, so the $500 guy is gouging.

Thank you sir.

Great video! If you can only chose one, which one is it gonna be?

Good video thanks

Good video.god bless 👍❤🙏

Thank you very much

I've always liked trikes but never understood why they never engineered some lean into them, it really is the Goldilocks zone of riding. There are kits that give trikes lean but they are so expensive that it's eye watering.

I own the Honda Goldwing DCT, I was told and shown the front brake does actually actuate the rear brake as well. like 80/20 or something like that. the rear brake only does the rear and the front works both.

I've thought about a spyder a number of times. Thanks for sharing. How are you feet at staying on the floor boards? Any issues?

Very nice.....

Great question?

Would you can you tell me who did the installation of the rear brake system on the gold wing? thanks

Very cool.

Good day Sir,,i am Jerico Felices frm Libmanan Camarines Sur province of the Philippines,,,i am also a disabled person,,i wish that i can have like ur motors,,it is very expencive here in the Philippines if u buy that thing,,,i don't have a money to buy it

I have a question. So do you just keep an extra wheelchair in the trailer at all times? Because I'm just wondering how it would be to try to put that away once you're on the bike. I'm kind of in the same situation as you I'm missing my right leg so I can't use the brake on a motorcycle or on the Can-Am. Great video though. Very informative

I was looking to get a Can-Am spider. I have cerebral palsy wheelchair dependent. I would need some kind of rack that I could put my folding wheelchair on the back of the Can-Am spider somehow because the trailer wouldn’t be an option for me if you know anybody or have any ideas of any kind of Rack for a folding wheelchair I’d be interested. Thanks for your time.

What cost the Honda trike in total iż onli heve 1leg

Nice 👍👍👍👍👍

Big cost difference between the two? I started with a wing, then went to a spyder.

I myself like the three wheels

Ride safe😊

Have you seen the Goldwing reverse trike? There is the Endeavor, the R18 Sturgis and the tilt-lock… They even have a quad…

very informative and unbias

Not sure if I missed it but don't think you mentioned Price difference. I would assume the Honda would be Much more due to converting it to 3 wheels which Spyder already has. retail for GW IS 29K AND SYDER RT IS 23K and thats not including trike conversion. just saying..

I'm confused. If you have a problem keeping your balance and got backrest to help with your balance, why would you want the bike to lean!??! Please explain.

We do what we gotta to stay in the wind !

💨💨💨♿️Wowww...My Dreams 😍

I want to buy the spider from you 👍🏾

There is a after market front 2 wheel lean conversion!

I guess I'm doing the Spyder

What company or where does one purchase your left hand brake setup?

Semper - Fi

Total price comparison please. I am newly disabled as far as my legs, but have always loved riding. I’m not in a chair yet, but I probably will be soon.

What did the brake change cost and where can get it done.

If it's hard to use the Can am hand brake the master cylinder has the wrong ratio

Iam dis able person how ican get this motor cicle? From ehiopia kobolca wollo

Hey bro, I am late to this video and u prob know about this but, as far as leaning, u should look into a company called tilting motor works. That is exactly what they do to a motorcycle. It leans.

Hi Mr. I am Mulugeta goshu . I am handcap man , I live in Ethiopia which is in Africa. I like the video. since I live in underdeveloping country I need your support. can you help me how can I get canAm spyde ( the red one ) .

how do you transfer from chair to seat?

I am disabled like you what kind of brake kit can I get for my goldwing trike to control both front and rear brakes and were can I purchase the kit Welton Locklear

👍🏾

Было бы круто, если передная часть белого и задняя часть красного соединить. Не самодельный,а с завода...

Интересно, какой вариант более безопасно?

How much?

Goldwing là niềm ước mơ hơn 3/4 dân số thế giới

Why do you need 2 trikes

To je ona, čo vyzerá ako auto. Koľko stojí.

They make the goldwing titling reverse trike.

Я не ездил на мото , поэтому такие вопросы

Nice sir...can I ride it for free.im person with disability to.from Philippines.

Hey ....I'm disabled I was a rider ....I'm still thinking 🤔 about

you need a wheel chair rack on the back fender of the wing a friend has one on his wing you can see it on this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u_C2TncWxk0.html

My husband (coachbob3) has a Can Am Spyder RT. I ride with him and have, on occasion, driven it while he brakes for me...ha! (Check out : I’m a Dangerous Woman” on his channel!🙂) Considering getting a hand brake or my own Ryker. Where did you get the handbrake? How much was it? Did you do the installation yourself? Also, how do you like the Apex wheelchair?

Hello was it cheaper to get the add on trike kit on the honda dct ? I see some honda dct trikes costs over 35k to 40k ready to go. I wanted to see the difference in price. Basically buying a used honda dct 2018 or newer and adding the trike how much it will cost me
