Exciting three-wheeler

Written by 

CAN-AM’S Spyder RT Roadster three-wheeler, unlike a conventional trike, has two front wheels and a single chain-driven rear wheel. It is classed as a car and may be driven on a car licence.   

The Spyder is powered by a Rotax V-twin liquid-cooled motor developing 100hp. It has ABS braking on all three wheels and an inbuilt computer which automatically adjusts speed and traction if there is a sudden change of direction or if it is cornering incorrectly, putting machine and driver at risk. 

“The Can-Am Roadster comes with a heap of options and accessories,” says Hamilton agent Boyd Motorcycles spokesman Gary Morgan.
