    Default New Member Looking at first Trike (first bike)

    Hi, I am in need of some information. I am 5 feet tall and was wondering if there was anyone out there that can supply some information on the best Trike to get. I am looking at a 2013 Cam Am Spyder. Any information will be helpful!! Thank you!

    If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

    Hello and to Trike Talk, glad to have U with Us.

    I'm 5'3" and I found a GL1500 Goldwing worked for me.

    Like mentioned by the members try each trike and see which one fits you best.

    Handlebar/control reach is critical as is seat comfort. Ditto your riding position to the foot controls. After riding Harleys for years, the Can Am with it's automatic is a pleasure. Reach out to Paws as she has one and is of short stature IIRC.

    Hello Trudy, welcome to the forums. You've gotten good advice, you really need to test drive the different kinds, best of luck.
