Brilliant 😊 Love watching anything you do .. Make me laugh with your chat .. keep doing what you do and if you enjoy im sure we'll enjoy too Most of all have fun And wishing you all the best in your new adventure ❤
Hi Liz, great video 😊 I have owned a Ryker for 18months and love it 😊 I mostly ride around the beautiful countryside of Northumberland, a place you should definitely visit and ride the great roads 😉 (maybe you already have?) Enjoy your new work life ride safe and take care best wishes Steven.
I cerebral palsy and can’t operate the foot pedal can I please ask where you got the handbrake kit? I also am looking for a way to attach my fold wheelchair to the back fender thanks for your reply
@@mattm1686check with your Spyder dealer. I know of several examples of wheelchair users who have been fitted to Spyders. Not sure about Rykers but spyders for sure.
Nice to see a uk vid with someone riding one of these, keep looking at them myself but havnt justified to myself exchanging 2 wheels for three (I dont have a 4 wheel option for getting about). Good to hear your thoughts.
Great to see you back and what a natural at reversing if I ever see you out when I’m next drive an Arctic I’ll let you reverse it. 😂🤣😂🤣😂keep the videos coming I watch them because you are very entertaining and funny good luck with everything I think you will be fine. 🤗🤗
so many funny one liners in this vlog but "emotional support imaginary front brake" fully sent me 🤣 this was a really enjoyable watch, I've never given Can-Ams much thought before now but I'd totally be up for more three-wheeled adventures from you to see what these curious little beasties are capable of (not entirely sure I'd trust myself on one though - every time I get on a new bike my brain develops a case of amnesia and I can't remember what to do lol).
If you can ride it on a car license…. then it’s a Reliant Robin facing backwards 😉😂 To be serious though, good to see something different being done and interesting to boot, so well done 👍🏻👍🏻 I always enjoy your uploads 😊
Love your videos. And observations of not using back brakes. I had a trike for a couple of years but an intruder conversion, I found it super heavy steering to the point of having sore arms on long or twisty rides. I loved the lack of worry about falling over and bigger road presence. All be it strange at first. Fab to hear a true first ride review and the lack of clutch is appealing to me. They look fun with the right spec to make trike riding easier. Thanks for taking the time to ride something different. Ride safe, LJ
No its not a motorcycle, nor is it a replacement, its a completely different riding experience. Yes older less able riders will use them but there's a community of ryker and spyder users like myself that are seriously into trikes and add all sorts of accessories to give them a unique look. Its absolutely a very different riding experience. 😊😊
I love them, they’re quirky, drive well and are fun. I often take my other half’s out for a spin. You always get haters online, out in the flesh I get nothing but thumbs up. As for old style trikes ( 2 wheels at back.) I cannot ride one without the feeling that you’re going to crash every 10 yards. With a reverse style trike it’s power on, and off I go.
Thats an unusual beast. Kind of like a big ride on mower to drive without the blades of course. As usual Liz happy to try something different 👍 How about an off road trail day? That would be good.😊😊
I did an off-road day once and ended up in an ambulance so I’m not in a rush to get back out on one 😁 wobbling Svarty down some gravel is where I’m happy to draw the line on that genre
In Canada those require a Motorcycle license, becoming very popular. More of the full touring models with complete built in luggage and with us who are aging. Wish you all the best on your new journey!
Really enjoyed it,great to see someone doing something different.I've had quite a few trikes but all with the wheels at the back,so I would love to give one of those can am's a go.
Now there ya go, was wondering if at some point, you might take a little jaunt around on one of those. They are a tad higher in price than what I would like, although would be cool to check out some time. Oh and by the way, Vid's like these, and your little day trips, are what keeps me coming back for more.
Thank you for your kind comment! I never thought I’d end up on one of these so I’m really happy that they’ve popped into my life, I’m spending a lot more time on one soon - finally mastering them and their quirky characteristics.
Good start on the future career. Just interested as to why you don't use the back brake as it aids stability on corner entry, extremely useful on dodgy surfaces etc. 👍🏻👍🏻
Ryker reverse, push the leaver down with your foot and drag it back. 285kg without the rider. Which mode are you in? You should be in eco. Rally mode turns off the traction. There is a 10cm roll stop after applying the break. Safety measures. Relax, breath and treat it like a normal bike. I'm about to do a 70k km review on a 2019 Rally. Still loving it. ❤🤟🏼
The good news is I’ve been offered an opportunity to do that in the summer next year, so I guess stay tuned, knowing me, if I’m on a bike I don’t get bored easily
2 years ago i survived a deadly motorcycle accident would be a good alternative (right leg) i was looking to yamaha tricity 300 and the piaggio mp3 530, but this looks way beter, the 900 is drivable with a car licence in belgium so i think getting one. nice video
I bet it’s a fun toy to have a blast on, but equally fun to hand it back at the end of the day. To own one would provide the worst of both worlds of a car / bike. Great to watch though Liz. 👍
Hello, Liz. I have four powered two-wheelers and a Can-Am Spyder F3-S. The F3-S is just as much fun as my 'proper' motorcycles. 0-60 MPH in 4.8 seconds and around 130 MPH flat out [never done it]; about as fast accelerating and the same top speed as a Suzuki SV650. The Spyders are much better quality than these Rykers. Regarding safety: you can't fall off them. However, with it being a wide machine, you cannot escape to the side of the road. I have done that so many times on two-wheelers, especially abroad in Spain and Portugal. To answer your question: I couldn't give a damn what people think of my Can-Am when I'm riding it. If they don't think it's a proper motorbike, they've got the problem. Nick
That was fun, I wonder what the demographic is of people that buy them? In London they are usually ridden by young gangsta types with very loud exhausts. Liz, ride all the bikes!
Not sure how it is where you are. But where I am it's a mixed bag. A lot of the older driver tend to lean toward the Spyder due to them being the better for two up riding and touring. But the Rykers are a lot of fun. I prefer the Ryker to the Spyder, mainly because of cost and the fact I like sitting low on the bike compared to higher up on the Spyders.
Interesting but when I ride / drive something that wide I would like a roof on please. Well if you are wanting us to tell you what to do in your videos, windsurfing !! maybe not. See if they will let you take one to Salisbury Plain gravel roads.
I was planning on getting one but my medical issues said nope. I need to use a Walker from now one and can’t take a Walker. But o am getting an electric wheelchair.
My suggestion for anybody want to try that , please take a training with a qualified instructor before doing that , to really understand this machine. this way you are not gone a crash it searching for the front brake lol 👍 this CanAm is made in Quebec Canada and in Quebec you need your car licence and a 7 hours cours to drive it or you motorcycle permit 6A
I agree with this, I rode round the carpark first before following on the roads. Now I’m ok on my own and very happy - it didn’t take long but it is definitely helpful to have a bit of a lesson first.
If I could afford it I would’ve bought one apart from the fact that where I live I don’t have a secured parking space and the local vandals just seem to have penchant for gross vandalism
If you want a bike challenge... Get a bike of your choice customised by Ralfy. Ralfy Customs. You're lovely soft accent may change and you'll certainly pick up a few new terms of endearment. I dare ye
It’s tempting to try though 😅 you still have the benefits of fast acceleration to get round things quickly which I guess helps in traffic, but you can’t fit down the middle
Enjoyed the vlog, something a bit different from all the usual motorcycling blogging suspects/social media types all testing the same bikes and saying exactly the same things about them. At the end of the day you need to make content that makes you happy as this will come across in your vlogs. Don't become a slave to RUclips just to please others and then spiral down the clickbait title blackhole. Good luck with going freelance.
I think they’re much safer! Just a bit of a shock coming from a motorcycle 😬 think about it - you can’t fall off it, and it’s super visible and wide, so the chances of not being seen are reduced, the chances of falling off are removed completely…
@@R1_Liz Yeah I guess in 10 years of riding that hasn’t been a issue for me what has been is ladders falling off trucks, crap in the road, people on phones and cars not paying attention which is generally the same issues I have in a car. You have also guaranteed your hitting anything in the road with one tire or another. A road is very wide on a bike and gives you tons of options. On a bike I can split lanes in traffic and make it through the city very quickly. If you think your strong enough to hold yourself on that snow mobile in a accident or loss of control I have a bridge to sell you. It’s a sit down and hold on vehicle period with less options. The bike form has been around hundreds of years for a reason it’s extremely efficient.
I am 30 and confused and scared, very aware of the can-am family now (you can see I spent a weekend with them last month they are a close-knit bunch) gonna keep filming, I’ll put trigger warnings on the 3 wheel content for you 💖
“Like the rear brake on a motorcycle which you never use”. Sorry lady, you just proved you know nothing about riding a motorcycle let alone a three wheeler..
I take it you’re not up to speed on trail breaking. Perhaps if you take a course your riding has a good chance of improving. Rear brakes are for stability,front breaks stop you and load your suspension and trail angle for turning.
Just like to point out that it's NOT a Motorcycle. It has 3 wheels not two ! And the the fact you don't need a motorcycle licence to ride it, proves it. So please stop calling it a motorcycle !!
That solely depends on what state you're in it's not universal classes as NON. We're I'm at it's classed as a motorcycle and I have the endorsement and drive both but I don't hate either. Most of you two wheels folks jump on and say that so why look at it in the first place
Brilliant 😊 Love watching anything you do ..

I'm a right leg below knee amputee and cannot use the brake, so I've had an ISCI handbrake lever fitted. Fantastic.

Back brake is for that sort of scenario of course, but usually on the RR by the time I’ve found the tiny lever the front brake has done all the work 🥲

You sounded so uncomfortable. 😂
If you're confident on two wheels, trikes are a breeze, and they're much more fun than bikes, without the wipeouts😅😅😅😅
The weirdest part is the steering. You get used to it, especially if you've ever ridden a snowmobile.
Strange to watch it turn quickly with out the bike or rider leaning

Hello R1Liz.
got to be honest, that thing about cant fall off them, i'm on four wheels and fell out several times, you can lol.
I’m sure falling off is possible but at least falling over/flipping is way more difficult
@@R1_Liz I should have mentioned my four wheels are a wheelchair, I forgot that bit lol.

It’s tempting to try though 😅 you still have the benefits of fast acceleration to get round things quickly which I guess helps in traffic, but you can’t fit down the middle
