Full description
The Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra is a three wheeled motorcycle manufactured by Harley-Davidson and introduced in the 2009 model year. The Tri Glide Ultra is the first three-wheeled motorcycle produced by Harley-Davidson since the Harley-Davidson Servi-Car, which was manufactured from 1932 to 1973. The Tri Glide is based on the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra, a conventional two-wheeled touring motorcycle.
Harley-Davidson entered into an agreement in 2008 with Lehman Trikes of Spearfish, South Dakota to provide parts and "conversion services", and final assembly of the Tri Glides was initially completed at Lehman's facility. Company owner John Lehman died in January, 2012, and the Tri Glides are now assembled at the Harley-Davidson plant in York, Pennsylvania. Shortly after the product introduction, a Tri Glide led the way in the parade at the Inauguration of Barack Obama on January 20, 2009.
The Tri Glide is powered by a 1,690cc V-twin engine, is equipped with a six speed transmission and the engine has electronic fuel injection. Electric powered reverse was available as an option when the Tri Glide was introduced, but later became a standard feature.
Because of its inherent stability, the Tri Glide, like other three-wheeled motorcycles, is marketed to motorcycle riders who are experiencing health problems due to aging or injuries, and to female riders. Three-wheeled motorcycles comprise a "significant niche" in the current motorcycle market.
This unit has covered 30 km.
