A Bit About Me – Creator of Haul N Ride and Ability Motorcycles
As a Motorcycle Driving Instructor I helped many students learn to ride safely and obtain a licence.
I share my safety tips, advice and instruction on Haul N Ride.
MISSION: To assist people to enjoy riding a motorcycle either as a passenger or rider and to share the many unusual and practical motorcycle inventions, either on-road, off-road, on-the-water or in-the-air. Dave
Having a daughter in a wheelchair and investigating options to include her in family rides, I discovered Wheelchair Accessible Sidecars are the most affordable option.
I built my daughter a wheelchair accessible sidecar.
I wanted to share my build on the Internet to inspire and help others in a similar situation.
Over time the website just grew into one of the Internets most interesting websites with very unusual creations and inventions.
One of the most simple modifications is the Leaner Sidecar. I first discovered via
Kalich Leaner Sidecars.
Motorcycles are Designed to Lean – To Lean is Safer
I would love to create, perhaps the world’s first, Wheelchair Accessible Leaner Sidecar.
Browsing through Haul N Ride you will discover…
Anything Unusual, Creative and Unique
Innovation is what Haul N Ride is all about!
A Place to Share Passion, Experience and Knowledge
Haul N Ride is a website that gathers as much information on alternative and unusual motorcycles and the sharing of projects with others.
Finding information such as How to Attach a Sidecar, How to Align a Sidecar, Tow-in and Lean-in, can be time consuming and difficult.
Haul N Ride can assist people with their motorcycle projects and discover the latest innovation and technological improvements in the industry.
I welcome comments and sharing on Haul N Ride.
Together we can share our projects, create an online resource, assist other motorcycle enthusiasts and learn from each other.
After 3 years of hard work and persistence, we completed our Wheelchair Accessible Sidecar Rigid Hack.
Next project – BMW Wheelchair Accessible Leaner Sidecar 🙂

I am looking for a motorcycle you can drive from sitting in a wheelchair!
https://www.haulnride.com/ability-sidecars-three-accessibility-options
Hello, Can someone tell me what size the threads are on the HEIM JOINT ? They look to be about 1″, I want to know I’ll have sufficient strength.
Is the Taurus motorcycle in the USA for purchase?
Do you have a contact number that i can call?
If I visit the Tarus website here: http://moto2x2.com/en/kupit/
I read the following message:
Sales are not available now. The bike is not produced anymore.
contact mail info@moto2x2.com
Best regards,
Alex Labay.
I hope you find an alternative.
Have a great day.

I want to purchase a mystery trike conversion kit but am unable to find one for a super glide. Can you help?
Hi, it seems the company Mystery Designs who make the Tilting Trike Kit have perhaps ceased operations.
I may have to remove the webpage from Haul N Ride.
It seems to be a dead link.
I hope you can find an alternative.
May I suggest Tilting Motorworks Trike Kit?
https://www.haulnride.com/product/trio-tilting-motorworks-reverse-trike-kits
Have a great day.
I found the following comment on a Forum:
I spoke to Mystery in Dallas, Tx. In June. They took the leaning design off the market until they can work the Bugs out.
https://www.triketalk.com/forum/threads/28827-mystery-designs-leaning-trike-kit
That must be the reason their website is down.

I’m looking information or suggestions on mounting a vetter sidecar to a Suzuki M109r, I know that the Vetter has a Mid frame design, so I can’t mount the sidecar frame with out using a drop mount to attach to the bike, I’ve made a lower frame bracket for the motorcycle, and I’ve purchased a kit from DMC, for the sidecar, and it came with universal mounting system, but i have to mount them at a different angle to allow them to be used, I can provide pictures if needed.
Hi Lincoln, I would be glad to create a webpage to upload your photos. This would allow website visitors to comment on your design and make suggestions for improvement if necessary.
Feel free to email the photos with explanations and dimensions/measurements to:
https://www.haulnride.com/contact-haul-n-ride
Good luck with the project and have an excellent day 🙂
Dave
Thanks for you comment Shahn, I would love some photos of your ride, If you would like to share with Haul N Ride 🙂 By saying Victorian sidecar, does that mean it was made in Victoria, British Columbia?
Your jewellery is amazing, you are so gifted.
I wonder if when your leaner is pushing to the right on deceleration could be due to incorrect Toe-in alignment?
Another idea, how far is your wheel lead?
I imagine if a sidecar axle and motorcycle rear axle are were in line, this could be an issue. So depending on the wheel lead measurement, may alter its stability on deceleration.
Like with any sidecar combination, there is always a need to make finer adjustments.
How old is your sidecar? Did you build it yourself?
Thanks for sharing.
Dave
Hi Dave
Thanks for the reply, Victoria Leaner Sidecar is the search term to find the YouTube video of me driving down the street and showing the pivots in action.
I use the sidecar for work, I did not want a rigid unit and destroy my ridding experience.
The position of the wheel is not the same as a rigid sidecar, the toe in and camber in this case are also not the same, there actually is none.
When the bike is on a level flat surface and perfectly upright the sidecar is in line, otherwise the sidecar is in either headed into a left or right turn position. The geometry of the mounts steer the sidecar as you lean, if I straddle the bike and lean left and then right the sidecar arcs left and right.
It was an experiment building it and a little of a head scratch as I set it up with the bike on it’s side stand, good thing I thought it through prior to welding?.
On acceleration depending on the road angle of course the sidecar has weight so it pulls, also it is a Box so wind resistance also could play into that. The push left on deceleration is also the weight of the sidecar, if it had a brake proportioned off the rear of the bike that could be taken care of.
In my application going to the market it is awesome and serves it’s purpose at the same time as being a lot of fun.
There are a few pictures here http://steelwheels4x4.info/-/steelwheels4x4/gallery.asp?cat=148863&pID=1&row=15 of the unit set up for sales of my jewellery.
Cheers
Shahn
Hi Shahn, now I realize that I was showing your motorcycle video on this Webpage:
https://haulnride.com/leaner-sidecar-combination-bike-leans-sidecar-doesnt
It is such a useful video to help potential builders understand the Pivots.
I absolutely love your business/sidecar setup and umbrellas.
I find it very interesting that you do not have toe-in.
It sounds like a good idea to add a sidecar brake and I think a Proportioning Valve would be useful between the sidecar rear brake cylinder and the sidecar brake.
The Proportional Valve may allow you to make fine adjustments to control the weight on acceleration/deceleration.
Thank you for sharing your story and photos with Haul N Ride.
Have an aweswome day. Dave
Beautiful web page, very nicely put together. I am the owner operator builder of the Victoria Leaner Sidecar. I use it at Bastion Square Public Market in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada every summer to transport display and sell my Custom Hand Crafted Sterling and Stainless jewelry that I build. May 3, 2018 Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays through til the end of September 2018 , 11AM til 5 PM come and have a look. http://www.Etsy.com/shop/AboutTine
The bike is awesome to ride, lane changes either way left or right happen in the blink of an eye. The bike pulls right on acceleration but if you throttle hard and fast you don’t have to care. On deceleration it pushes the bike right so you have to counter steer, no big deal as long as you are paying attention. Sincerely
Shahn Torontow
Hi Julia, if a person is wheelchair bound, it doesn’t take long to realize how non accessible this world can be. Likewise if you are the parent or carer of that person, you also become aware and want to change whatever you can to improve their circumstance and promote inclusion.
It was a very difficult journey that few have traveled to complete the accessible sidecar project, but I can’t begin to explain how much it was worth it.
If you have the time, take a look at the photos and you will see by the smile on my daughter’s face, it was worth it 🙂

Thank you for your kind comments. Have an amazing day. Dave
Wow, I absolutely love it! I can’t say that I am a motorcycle enthusiast, but I love everything unusual and creative thinking. I like the idea of full inclusion. Who said that people using wheelchair can’t ride a motorbike? Why not? Dave @ Haul N Ride and friends will prove them wrong! Such sidecar hasn’t been built yet – Dave @ Haul N Ride and like-minded people will build it! I love such attitude, I love such project. I love unstoppable people when the intention is so pure and end-result is invaluable. What can be more precious than a family time together – no matter what limitations members may have? This is an excellent project! And all other unusual motorbike models seem like a lot of fun. 🙂
