I drive a similar model from Rewaco, but without a windshield (and therefore without a radio). The same power-up procedure, a tribute to the electric immobilizer.
What made me decide to ride a trike instead of a motorbike? It has a safe handling and a low center of gravity, which is particularly noticeable in tight corners. The rear passenger sits higher and can enjoy the ride more. My wife can drive it with her car license. Good horsepower/weight ratio, overtaking much quicker than with my car. Enough space for 1-2 week trips, it is possible to mount additional bags. Comfortable cruising up to fast motorway journeys possible. And . . . it's FUN to drive!
I like them even though I have not ridden one and I agree with you that it will appeal to older riders but I also think it will appeal to people who like longer road trips and enjoy the ability to bring more stuff with them. I'm an old man falling apart and I can see me taking that on a cross country tour and take my camping gear
I am the one who bought this exact bike that @hegshot test drove. It’s so much I could say about it, but to keep it short, I love it. I own several bikes & this is also my 3rd trike. This bike is not perfect, but overall I’m loving it. It rides better than my can am spider & the goldwing trike I owned. Rides better than Cvo trike also, in my opinion. I had problems at the beginning with the ECU & O2 sensor, but they eventually got it right. My wife & I don’t regret kicking out the money for it so far.
Where can I buy one I live in Az.
I'm digging it! The starting ritual seems kinda "anti theft", or similar to a 1911 in the gun world, if you don't KNOW how it goes, you can't make it go boom.
That turbo sound, for a trucker, will NEVER got old!! The looks are kinda cool too, as you said, "Porsche like".
Rewaco trikes are an amazing machine and like you said it’s not for everyone. I’m 73 bought a 2016 Rewaco had mechanical issues found out no one in Arizona would work on it and that’s the problem no maintenance support except in a few states. Finally had to consignment to a motorcycle in Houston finally sold it after 12 months. If Rewaco was well established in the USA I would buy one today. Nice video and I’ll subscribe to your channel.
That's the issue I have.No dealership close.180 miles to Ft. Myers and thats the only dealer in Florida.
it took me and 2 mechanics 4 hours to change the battery, which is under the seat. They're not the easiest to work on.
I am old and would do anything to have one of these but I am poor.
A post ride discussion with a knowledgeable salesperson to answer, explain, and point out more would have been nice. Regular fuel? Capacity/range? You could carpet/mat under the foot rails also. Other models and features would be nice to know, too. Thanks!
32 years young and if I had the money I'd buy one...I think it looks pretty sick. And I'd definitely use it for long trips. Or just riding around in general with the wife
Ok Boomer
I prefer my F-3S Spyder by Can Am/ BRP! It’s fast and has all the safety features, ABS Traction control,Stability control, cruse control. Brembo breaks stops on a dime and gives 9 cents change every time. Thought I wanted the Manuel but they only offer 6 speed semi automatic, you shift via paddles on the Handel bar. You can downshift by hitting the paddles but it will downshift automatically as you slow down. Love it! My last bike was a Honda Valkyrie with a 1340 flat horizontal apposed 6 that is shared with Goldwing. Thought I would miss the shifting. I was wrong! It has 2 wheels in the front and a big 225X15 in the rear. It feels like a formula 1 race car on the street! Spring has sprung and summer is just around the corner!! Oooh la la! BTW the motor is a Rotax 1330cc 3 cylinder 115 Hp and 96 ftlbs of twist! The motors are made in Australia 😮(owned by BMW Motorcycles) this thing i a rocket! Oh yea I almost forgot, upshifting is required but down shifting is optional or it will downshift as you slow down. 😎
Mine was used with 705 miles on it. Paid under $20000.00 + TTL It also comes in touring models with rear bags, trunk, air suspension and all models (like mine) come with a Fronk (front trunk).
I agree, on my second spyder RT-L 2020
I like the start up routine. Keeps it from being stolen. Nice video
I was looking at can-am then I came across this one ,my opinion on this is that it may be for the older gen.I actually like it and now I'm doing more research on both the can-am,and the rewaco now. .the start up could've been a little more simple but still ani-theft it seems to me like they went overboard with that ,but I want to say thank you for the tutorial for this bike I enjoyed all the info you have provided,I'm also in sc
Dimond plate for the floor boards causes the front to lift as it acts like a wing ! Who needs a radio on a bike/trike ?
It's very much comfortable, vehicle. Excellent work this is
I liked this trike. I pressed like button as soon as the video started without listening even your first complete sentence. Live in Sweden and gonna go find this trike but first need to manage some budget for it. 🙃
It's like when I lived in Venezuela in the 1990s, they add extra steps to turn the car for anti-theft. The thieves are real smart and alarms do not work on them.
I don't think it's age related. I think that it's for anyone that wants and can afford it, young or old. I love the look of this bad boy. They're plenty of young people riding slingshots which to me is the ugliest trike out there.
Don’t talk about ugly trikes, these Rewaco shit boxes are definitely a woman’s little trike.
It's great looking. Thanks for the review.
The reason it felt like it was going back and forth is because you left the emergency brake on just a little bit.
I like it it seems to be nice, suggestion for a slight modification seat belt in the woman's position and roll cages. You know how people are they'll run over the 4-wheeler if they can. And lights lots and lots of colorful lights make it visible on the road.
first time here...great commentary and review....I'm Canadian and non military...but Ive supported grunt style for jeez,,,I donno...8 or 10 years....nice to see you're rockin a t shirt...haven't bought from them in years either...should check out the website again...my throat punch donor shirt has long became my wife's PJ's
I have one and I love it made trip from Fl. to Oh. had a blast. I had a Harley trike , the Rewaco trike 100 times better
Most LCD displays are hard to read (or invisible) with polarized sunglasses
Interesting piece of engineering. Would buy if there were a larger support group.
L own one and right of start i had problems and warranty is a joke ,hard to get them to look at it ,order parts from Germany
and wait can't resale my bike DON"T BUY
This thing is awesome I just wish there was a dealer in mid west I live in Oklahoma
Thank You I saw the Rewaco in youtube videos and wondered what they were like ,,I agree 100% it is something for someone who just wants a trike and the older rider I agree radio in silly place and the starting Bullshit would piss me off just give me a key but I guess it would be very hard to steal ,,,,,,oh how do you get to the engine to do simple things like check the oil ?
I test rode one there last year. I thought it was great. The only thing that scares me off is there's only 22 dealerships in the whole country
So in Europe, Germany specifically, I have seen these trikes hooked to small short trailers and people using them to go camping on. They do appeal to long ride people who like to go off the beaten path kind of places.
For $46k US, i can buy a very sweet trailer/camper hauler.
Neat looking trike. But the whole start up and shut down process is a deal breaker.
Nice looking good 👍
Hello my name is Triker Ed i drive a Wk Trike model Rebel with a VW engine 1300 i completely stript it and rebild it my zelf made it a single seater with a bobber zadle lots off fun to drive .Nice video but way over my budget greetings from the netherlands 🤘🤙
Appropriate marketing is needed
Looks Huge, I have a Road King with To Pac trike kit.
I have the RF1 GT and it's amazing, I love it.
but it's much better looking than that one TBH.
You sounded surprised when describing the radio being waterproof, maybe a boat radio. Anybody with a motorcycle stereo should understand that marine grade audio equipment is basically what is required for motorcycle use. It should go without saying, but their waterproof. So no damage should occur if you get caught in the rain or when washing your bike.
No I’m surprised how ugly they made it. Other companies make waterproof systems that don’t look like they’re straight out of Walmart or your local marine parts department
They are using a system from Fusion, a company from New Zealand that specialize in car and marine audio systems.
I ride a can am in the very same town you are riding in brother!
I have owned 4 trikes in my 30+ years of riding motorcycles but all custom built and nowhere near as expensive as this one. I enjoyed my time with trikes and used to take my daughter to school on a rat Suzuki GS850, which we both loved and did many miles on.
I also bought a Rewaco. I got the GT model. I love it it looks like a bat bike I have to spend at least 30 minutes explaining the bike. I got it because I had Harleys for awhile and I got this because of an accident this bike takes all the pain away and I can ride better.
So when you gonna try a CanAm Spyder RT? When I went looking for a ride tried Harley they were to big. Indian was a decent fit but not stable enough for me. I found CanAm and fell in love smooth ride and plenty of bang for my buck. You should give it a test!
I have a question? How is the wind buffering with the faring on the driver and was there a lot of wind buffering with your passenger?
Does the handle bars makes steering difficult. I have ape hangers?
That thing is sick
I would say the start and shut down is to keep someone from stealing it, if you not use to riding one you can't start it.
I know but damn if I own it I don't want to have to put in some top secret, fort knox style startup process just the ride the thing. They would definitely get caught by the time they learned how to start and steal
@@HegshotRides I would say that's why it's made that way, because if ya don't do it right ya not going to start up and that's a good thing.
The overall shape is nearly exactly like the 1970's trikes with the VW motor in the back. Should have touched down on that.
Very good.
Not feeling it all? Looks like an old gramps trike bike😂😂😂I'll go with the can am
Diamond plate with raised ridges would be safer but still give feet anchor points.
I don’t know if he said or not, but how big is the fuel tank capacity, and the mileage per gallon?
Pretty cool, I think. It’s a lot of money, but the options are amazing. I agree it will probably be used by elderly cruisers.
I’m 36 I believe I would buy I’m looking into a slingshot !!! This would make me feel more like riding a bike honestly it is pricey but you could build it up on your own ! With speakers 🔊 and this of that nature!
Go for it.
They are for woman not men.
I would add a seatbelt for the passenger
For REAL
Beautiful
Oh one more thing put brake on the left and throttle on the right use both feet stop with left throttle with the right hands just for steering
This is so 21st Century and I love it because it's so different.
I've been trying to decide between a Harley tri glide and the rewaco. I'm new to both. I'm 57 years old and looking for comfort. What would you recommend for riding mostly around town but hopefully taking some trips around Florida?
Idk how the steering is on the new Tri Glides but the 17 I rode was not great where this one is pretty smooth. I’d say, ride both if you can and if the dealer won’t let you ride,assuming you have your motorcycle endorsement, tell them you’re going to buy somewhere else. You really need to ride both and see which one you like the best
Harley.
I owned a 2019 HD Tri Glide Ultra and the ride was not good at all. Steering was a push-pull in the turns and took quite a bit of effort. The heat from the engine was almost unbearable on 90+ degree days. Our local Indian dealer (Marietta,GA) just received a shipment on these Rewako trikes. I looked them over and the build quality is excellent but I did not ride one. Until they fill out their dealer network, I wouldn't want to take a long trip on one.
Being how the web site dont even give you a basic quote on price . ill have to assume its super expensive .
"Right here." "Right here." "Right here." "Right here." "Right here." AARRGGGHHH!!!!
How do you get to the engine
I'm one of those riders that abhors radio/stereo on motorcycles. But to that point, it almost sounded like you were janging on the company for using a marine-grade radio head unit. They're waterproof, thats why its a marine radio. There are m/c idiots out there with speakers with paper cones which turn to mush when wet. Screw music, enjoy the ride. Let ME not have to hear YOUR radio.
Can anyone comment on the steering ( I've seen a couple of videos that state that the front end is too light and the trike handles poorly, as a result) ? Also, does it want to follow every groove and bump - like the Can Am Spyder does ?
Is There A Dealership In Houston Tx
Houston V8 Bikes & Trikes 8016 State Hwy 111 E, Yoakum, Tx. Call and verify that they are still/will continue to be a dealer. I say this, as the dealership - here in North Carolina - is no longer part of the dealer network. No notice was given by them or Rewaco USA (that they would no longer participate). Which left me hanging...@@troyearls1330
Love it
those classic standards are beautiful.
Looks like a enjoyable ride, which part of Sc is this dealer in?
Charleston
@@HegshotRides Thanks
I yet to see a v8 trike with a dully rear end 🤔 🤯🤑
I'm tryna build one now
Where can I buy one. In Az
How many miles per gallon ?
If they were so dang expensive, I'd buy one.
Service and maintenance seems to be an issue....most parts from Germany?
🌹What is the final price? Thanks
Fr good
😮 i understands the luggage for touring but if your going for a fully modified design they had room for 2 passangers 😂
What powers this little dude? And what's the price tag for this? Oh I just heard the price, $46,000 and change. Nope!
Sounds like it’s using a CVT transmission. I hate those things. Don’t know why anybody would buy something like that. Doesn’t seem that fast to me.
Being it's so much to start will prevent from being stolen.
Top end speed ? Horsepower ?
140hp
I'm going to be 70 years old and yes I ride a 2004 1700 roadstar Silverado it's just like the road king and vibrate like you would not believe and it's getting to a point I can't lift it hardly anymore and I've been thinking about getting a trike and something like that would be really cool cuz I travel from Tucson Arizona to Muskegon Michigan and I have a trophy of the longest distance writer and I would like to keep writing but it's just too heavy and it vibrates like crazy thank you and have a nice day bye
What’s instramatatiion?
Is There A Dealership Near Houston Texas Area
Harley has the name, but not the style, ride, comfort, or anything else. Given the choice, I would take this one over a Harley EVERY day. Yes, I own one. So I guess I am biassed.
Delusional
@@freebehindbars8654 Really. I am not able to have an opinion different to yours without you trying to shout me down and call me names. I guess your name says it all @freebehindbars. Name calling is the refuge of someone who has no legitimate points to offer the conversation. The tired old ex icon that is Harley Davidson should be just a memory, but unfortunately there are people like you who settle for second best. Perhaps one day you will grow up.
@@hycart7804 I apologize if my one word reply was misinterpreted, it was directed at your comment, nothing personal.
@@hycart7804 I’m sure this novelty is an experience, but the obviously Chinese made parts covering it from front to back is a no. I’ll keep my solid, slow ex-icon of an HD, over this one off collection of plastic. Every one being different is horrible when it comes time for part replacement or repair, bc there’s no standard.
@@freebehindbars8654 I think you should check where a lot of your ex icon parts are made. That is the novelty here. But I am not trying to change your mind. Just expressing MY opinion. You keep riding your machine, I will keep riding mine. Fair enough?
Can You Get A Seat belt For The Back Seat
Gonna kep my HD .
hi guys i'm in south africa.... i would like to know if you guys do have a dealership in our country Secondly I've always wondered at possibility of rain protection on these trikes.. can they made all weather vehicles.... at this stage the wind shield seems way to low....?
Love everything except the price and the overengineered startup process.
Maybe the complicated starting procedures keeps the drunks off the bike. 😈
And then the Rain started....
German engineers with Chinese parts.
Cara que doideira
Needs to be silver. Looks like a spaceship. Lol... I love it. Comfort is king at my ripe age of 54. Needs a head rest for the driver, getting rear ended with a helmet on will snap your neck like a twig. Young and old will be drawn to it.
Lets talk stability 😢, NHRA won't let you take this down a drag strip, not stable. Can-Am Spyder or Ryker can have a fun day at the drag strip 🤔
Can you find these bikes in Texas.
Is There One In The Houston Texas Area
Rear looks like s2000
so much stuff to go wrong no thanx i will stick to my o school stiers trike
The Can Am Spyder is the best 3-wheel motorcycle in the world on the road today. I love my Spyder RT Limited. It’s not without flaws but the overall design is the best there is.
I'm sure Harley can put their brains together and come up with one much better looking than that and what Harley have right now. A new Muscle Rod trike.
I want one
Way to do a whole video & talk about the Speakers but not play any music lol
And it looks weird too.
Over $40,000
6:20 how the hell does that look like a porsche???
put on some polarized sunglasses, maybe then? 🤔
Who make it.
Maybe the complicated starting system is to confuse the German drunks. H
