Why Buy a Trike?

While you might not think of a trike first when you head to the dealership to look at motorcycles, owners of these three-wheeled beasts are often enthusiastic about the many advantages that come with a trike. If you’re considering buying one of these underrated vehicles we encourage you to check out our short list of benefits below! Then when you’re ready to start browsing feel free to stop by our location in Eugene, Oregon.

Storage 

One of the best things about owning a trike is how much storage they come with! These vehicles are quite a bit larger than the average motorcycle, making it easier to store a number of helpful items. Whether you’re going on vacation or just need to run to the grocery store, rest assured your trike has space for everything.

Comfort

While these vehicles are great for commuting, they're especially well-equipped for riding long distances. Not only do they have an abundance of storage space, but their seats are also extremely comfortable as well! And, thanks to the trike’s increased size, it’s easy to seat two people without either rider feeling cramped. 

Safety

A trike comes with a number of unexpected safety features that buyers are pleased to discover when they purchase their model. Firstly, unlike a motorcycle, trikes do not require drivers to lean while turning. Considering that many motorcycle accidents occur due to sharp turns taken at high speeds or in inclement weather, this is a great safety feature to have! Their large size also makes it easier for drivers to see riders on the road, decreasing the likelihood you’ll be hit by a distracted driver. 

As you can see, owning a trike gives you access to quite a few helpful ownership benefits. If you’re located nearby in Albany or Corvallis, Oregon we hope you’ll visit us here at Willamette Valley Harley-Davidson® for all of your trike or motorcycle needs!
