Freewheeler

[TOMMY M]

Has anyone flipped the freewheeler yet? Not by accident with another driver rather riding too aggressive.

I'm on the aggressive side. Haven't even come close to lifting an inside tire let alone flipping. One would have to be way beyond aggressive to do so.

You can flip anything if you tried hard enough i suppose...:Shrug:

But i don't think even in very aggressive riding you can, Now if you take a turn way too hot and run off an embankment :cxtv:....All bets are off..

Thank you guys. Not looking for problems, I've never owned a trike b4 but I am curious

Don't feel alone. I asked the same question. I wonder if the trike will slide or flip. I still don't know. Too old and chicken to find out.

Understandable, That question is asked a lot...[Will a Trike flip] Most people new to Street Trikes confused them with...ATC's.. 3 wheel off road Trikes, Which have a LOCKED axle , Those Trikes will flip in a hart beat I had 3 of them.....Street legal trikes have a differential in the Axle.....

anything can be done given enough things to go wrong. I have had 2 HD trikes. Have logged over 110k miles in 8 years. I ride very aggressively at times. I have only moderately lifted the rear wheel once in a very very aggressive move. Never even close to going over. So if you ride normal or even aggressive you should not have any issues.

There were a couple of Harley trikes at the licensing class I took that acheived a rear wheel lift doing some of the driving exercises. Nothing major, but they got a rear off the ground in a hard turn at moderate speed. One was a freewheeler and another that looked like a TriGlide, but was something else Harley. I was riding a CanAm and couldn't make one of the fronts do it no matter how hard I tried...LOL

I dunno the answer

All I can say from my riding is

Yes I have felt about to tip on a corner, I held the bars a bit looser and stayed on the gas Not the brake

Mean while The Redhead was sliding on the seat and when we stopped she called me a good man

NOT Hope this helps

define flipped

My wife new to her freewheeler let out the clutch a bit too fast and actually did a wheelie.

She didn't flip it but scared herself.

I don't think I've gotten a back wheel up, but I've had the front wheel slip on me a few times...

Haven't ridden a free except to test ride. Based on all the trike rides I've taken or trikes I've owned, I would be more worried about slipping off the seat before tipping the trike.

On my tri, I was playing around with my power vision, not watching the road as well as I should of and came into a turn on I70 a little quicker than I thought. My instinct was to "power through the turn", so I stayed on the throttle and pushed it into the turn. The tri did fine, I however almost came off the seat. If I didn't have a zeppelin seat (way wider and curved up on the sides), I might have been rolling around I70. As it was, I did need a change of shorts .. :AGGHH:

Helps. Keep pushing the limit brother. Its all about adrenaline, well until it gets dangerous, but then too I guess

It's all fun and games until the beer squirts out your nose...
