The Trikes were introduced by Can-Am in 2008. This model was primarily represented by the Spyder line and later by the Ryker. These are three-wheeled vehicles designed to combine the stability of a car with the open-air experience of a motorcycle. The Spyder uses Rotax twin-cylinder engines ranging from 998cc to 1330cc, with manual or semi-automatic transmissions. The Ryker, more compact and affordable, offers Rotax single- and twin-cylinder engines of 600cc and 900cc, with a CVT automatic transmission.
