Ran across a disable vet who lost his right arm in Afgan riding one. With some modifications to pedal throttle and brake, he was enjoying the ride. Even did the Tail of the Dragon a few times. My hat is off to him.

Three wheeler is a different style of riding meant for different capabilities needs or simply driving feel. Some use it for long range or traveling more comfort and storage capacity, others feel safer on three wheels, some physically cant handle the weight and reach of a 2 wheel touring, and last but not least others have special needs to be able to ride their beloved Harley Davidson. All in all it is a Harley, personally would use it for long distant trips or camping and if you have a pet dog can easily ride behind you in confort! Thank Matt for the review cheers.

I have ridden Trikes due to some serious back issues since 2007. I have never owned a Harley Trike (or a Harley Bike, period). That being said, my first Trike was a Lehman build and they built Harley trikes before Harley basically forced the issue and took their technology. For all the drawbacks of solid versus independent suspension, I felt my solid axled Trike handled like a hot rod; cornered better and flatter, just NICE! I have driven my Trikes from Buffalo, NY to Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and that way a couple dozen times, thousands of miles. These things are Highway oriented machines. You won't like them on the twisties as much, BUT, if it keeps you riding, BUY ONE! I'm seriously liking the looks of this Trike and the power. I may trade my Kawasaki trike on one. I have had Trikes in 800, 900, 1300 and 1800 CC varieties. My last before the Kawasaki was a Gold Wing, and though the seat was comfortable, I never liked the riding position. So, as a sort of expert on Trike riding, I'd buy this, and may!

While it doesn't have ABS, my 2015 FLRT has Reflex® linked front/rear brakes. Hitting the rear brake pedal applies both front and rear and it's noticeable. Very powerful brakes

Good review and info. I had a bad accident 4 years ago... thrown off a Segway! I know.. pretty dumb, but very severe. Broke 3 bones in pelvis and 6 ribs... anyway, had a tough time getting my mind back in the right place to get on my sportster full time. spent last year on the back of my husbands CVO Breakout. We bought a '16 HD Freewheeler in February and had to wait till May to get on the bike. Having an awkward time with my turning. Your description of turning was right on point. Feeling like your going off the bike in the opposite direction gives the sensation that the bike is lifting off the ground as well. I guess its just about getting used to making the turns without the anxiety. Just for my own sense of stability... trikes won't tip over making turns right??? !! Thanks for the review. When in LA, I'll be sure to stop in!

I keep myself several toys to ride. I recently added this to my collection. I have 3 other Harley's and a Can-Am Ryker. I love them all and everyone of them rides differently- that's why I have them. What drew me to this bike was touring- I've hit some sketchy roads running trips down south and those 3 wheels are priceless. The trunk space is great. Once you get used to, it operates fine. I would not personally use it for the twisities, but to each his own. IMO the windshield is a must on this bike if you plan on highway speeds. Thanks for your great reviews!

I ADDED Day maker head light Replaced all lights with LED's Back rack Comfort grips Much more Only paid $14000 LA BUENA PARK, CA %20 Discounts for 6 months Great guys just like you! I kinda wish I could safely ride a 2 Wheeler BIKE but at 70 I'd take very little to break something "LAUGHING", I STILL MIGHT. When the time comes it's better to go.. Doing what you love. CYA BTW I can't see how anyone could break the cruise button? I'm 6.3 "tall" and have A LOT of room to Scott! Thanks Again

Got hooked in and learned a bunch of things I didn't know .. watched the whole video .... and subscribed. Thanks for an excellent job. I am an old guy and fondly remember the days as a kid, when we could buy running Servi-Cars at the L.A. Police auctions for as cheap as $50. Loved those things!

I rode motorcycles for 45 years, and am now disabled. I am very interested in one of these, but I have heard tons of horror stories about the M8 engine. Broken primary chain tensioners, valve seats that fall out, and worst of all, serious overheating. The oil temp on my former 1997 Superglide ran at around 200 degrees most of the time. Now I'm hearing stories of the M8 engine running over 300 degrees. Obviously an engine that runs that hot is not going to last long. So unless Harley fixes these problems real soon, I will have to get something else.

I'm in the market for a trike, I currently have a 2 wheeler and don't plan on giving it up. the trike will be more for comfort for me and my wife, my only reservation is, I'm worried about the solid axel suspension causing one of the rear wheels to leave the ground or flipping the freewheeler over, I've done a lot of research and watched a lot of videos and no one has addressed this, how hard would it be to flip a freewheeler over?

Hi Kevin. I have a 2015 Freewheeler. I live in a state that requires you to take a 2-day class to get your drivers license endorsement. In the class one of the excercizes was to try to get your trike up on two wheels. I couldn't do it no matter how hard I tried. Some of the guys/ladies on Harley trikes were able to get it on two wheels but I couldn't. The guys/girls on CanAm Spiders seemed to be able to get it on two wheels easier than the Harleys, but again, they had to really try hard. I hope that answers your question. If you're looking for long-range comfort I would suggest the Harley Tri-Glide or a CanAm. I admit I was a little jealous of the people on the CanAm's but I have been a Harley person for a very long time and I'm not ready to give that up. If you get a Harley be prepared to get another seat. The stock seat on my Freewheeler is not made for touring. I get monkey butt in a short period of time. Hope that helps.

Mazen Ahmed ~ let me clear up the "struggling" part. agree on the "not" and doing well(compared to the past) and a redefined machines they are. LOL, 111 engine, yes wildly insane. just hope Harley is on the track to advance more as Indian has. yet "all" sales still at a somewhat stale mate (not up or down). very hopeful that all of them can do well and not see bike companies cutback to go in failure mode to relive the early 80's of who is left standing and government involvement to make it unfair to selected manufacturers.my best to all of them for pushing forward with better rides and features. it's a breath of fresh air with fresh ideas to boot.👍

Hey Matt, would you be willing to do a review of the 2021 Freewheeler, and compare your thoughts on it vs this older model? I am interested in making the move to a trike from my '17 Road King. Injuries to my left hip and knee from a bad crash years ago are beginning to catch up with me now at 52 years old, but I still want to ride. Is the Freewheeler still shorter than the Tri-Glide? It felt smaller to me in the past, but that could be in my head. Is the rider seating area smaller on it compared to the Tri-Glide? Thanks!

Actually one more possibility for people looking at bikes like this is people needing more storage to carry things.

I find it to understeer on corners and also if you go into curves to fast you can wind up in the ditch ahead of you

My Wife is 4.10'' and she is too short to ride most two wheelers. This is interesting if the foot controls can be taken back a bit to mid.

great great video on what this trike cand do.i test roode mt first rike today.with the though i been riding for 40 yrs.sportster 73 xlch since 1977.then when the 2003 dyna fxd came out '"electric start" woo hoo finally.now body says,it is time for a 3 wheeler.HD of course.after 40 + years of 2 wheelin.so i find a blacked out 2014 ultra tike.loved it went to go 500 miles round trip to mostly convinced. i am buying this badass and driviNg it back home.i could not take it out on the road for ins.purpose and good respectful people.but they let me take it down the long drive,turn around on large yard.and let me tell you tHis. i felt like the biggest dumbass ever.it is a great big difference.after riding 2 wheelers from the dirt to the road and my 1st HD.i thought i would get on tHis beautiful ultra tri.test ride fill out the papers and ride this bad mutha one of kind 252 miles back home.SURPRISE YA BIG DUMBASS.I NEVER RODE A TRIKE IN 40 YRS. OF RIDING.WHOLE DIFFERENT BALL GAME.KIDS GET SOME EXPERIENCE AND INSTRUCTION BEFORE FAILING LIKE I NEVER EVER RODE A HD or any motorcycle IN MY NOW DISABLED LIFE.It was funny and embarrassing.i will buy and trailer it home hopefully.the deal on this Trike is unbelievable.once i get her home i have parking lots and a cemetary to practice on.the steering is different,the braking.i could not help putting my feet down.so forth i am sure i am not the only one. that thot hell man i have been riding most of my life,riding an HD Trike has to be so easy that i should be able to do it in my sleep.NO IT TAKES SOME PRACTICE.it was embarrassing and funny to say the least.but they understood and they would have loved to take my money.but being good folk they are.they said i just would not feel good about something bad happening to you.so they will give me time get her trailered home i figure a week and i should be good.LET ME TELL YA BROTHERS AND SISTERS IF YOU NEVER EVER RODE A TRIKE.YOU ARE NOT JUST GONNA GET ON IT AND DO A SAFE 250 MILE TRIP.BECAUSE AFTER RIDING 2 WHEELERS MY WHOLE LIFE.THE FIRST THING YOU ARE GONNA DO IS PUT YOUR FEET DOWN WHEN TURNING BECAUSE YOUR MIND IS SET IN ITS WAY THAT YOU ARE GONNA DROP IT..I HOPE I CONTRIBUTED AND MAYBE PUT SOME THOUGHT IN YOUR HEADS.AS YOU HAVE DONE WITH THIS VIDEO AND A FEW MORE I WATCHED.I AM A TRUE MAN OF MY WORD.AND I TELL YA,IT TAKES SOME GETTING USED TO.ESPECIALLY WHEN YA HAVE A BUNCH OF BACK-LEG-NECK TROUBLES.BUT I STILL AM NOT READY TO GIVE THE RIDING UP.PEACE TO YA .AND JUST A LITTLE ADVICE .

AND THIS KIDS IS HOW we LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.and pass knowledge on.and get to know of the good people from the fuck'em people. I been around a long time on 2 wheels.and ave hung with the baddest of the bad .and a lot of them were /are god people...if you fit ..Anyways MAYBE if i would have had an hour or so i could and would have been able to roll her home.too much money invested.by these folks and myslef.to jump on a lot of back roads. without knowing what the hell i was doing or more like being comfortable about it.and these folks cared enough, to not let me go out and get killed.they could have taken my money and said see ya.but we will come up with a plan. that is giving a shit about others. And that is what it is all about. especially in this life-and life style you seek.Peace to ya.RESPECT IS ONE WORD I LEFT OUT.AND THAT IS A BIG ONE."RESPECT".

Thanks Matt! You've mad another great video for a great bike; I personally think the Freewheeler is just awesome looking and great for H-D; when I see earlier trike conversions, they are cool but small in comparison to how H-D designed this more substantial machine. Hey, can you review a CVO Street Glide and give some of your insights?
