Continue reading for an overview of what you can expect to pay for some popular trikes and trike conversion kits.
How much is a 3-wheel motorcycle?
Like motorcycles, the price range for a trike is pretty wide.
If you go with a smaller, scooter-style trike, you’ll be spending a lot less money.
If you go with a cruiser motorcycle-style trike, you’re going to be spending more.
On average, 3-wheel motorcycles and scooters will typically range anywhere from $8,000 to $50,000.
A 3-wheel motorcycle, like a Harley or Can-Am will range from about $15,000 to $30,000.
Some examples of the cost of some popular 3-wheel motorcycles and scooters include:
- Can-Am Spyder: ~$16,000
- Can-Am Ryker: ~$10,000.
- HD Freewheeler: ~$30,000.
- Piaggio MP3 500: ~$10,000.
- Yamaha Niken GT: ~$15,000.
How much is a Harley Davidson trike?
Harley-Davidson motorcycles have a reputation for being on the more expensive side of the spectrum.
HD trikes are no different. Harley trikes range from about $25,000 to $50,000 depending on the model you choose and the upgrades you go with.
Some general prices for some of their popular trike models are as follows:
- Harley-Davidson Freewheeler: ~$27,000.
- Harley-Davidson Tri Glide: $30,000 to $50,000.
How much does it cost to convert a motorcycle into a trike?
Another option for getting a 3-wheel motorcycle is to install a trike conversion kit.
The Honda Goldwing is one of the most popular motorcycles for a trike conversion.
Like a new trike, you’ve got a variety of options when it comes to features, specs, and extras for your GL trike conversion.
On average, a trike kit will cost anywhere from $9,000 to $16,000.
Then, you’ll need to factor in the cost of labor and installation. Most shops will run anywhere from an additional $3,000 to $7,000.
All in for parts and labor, a typical trike conversion kit will likely cost between $11,000 and $20,000.
Depending on the bike you have, you’ll need to weigh the pros and cons of converting to a trike vs. buying a new one.
