Novice Sidecar/Trike Training
The 3 Wheel Seminar is a four hour course designed to provide the rider with basic knowledge, confidence, and 3-wheel driving skills. Students must bring their own cycles to use in this class. This class is limited to non-side car three wheel vehicles. Riding exercises are practiced in a safe, controlled environment, and are designed to provide the opportunity for the rider to gain knowledge, confidence and 3-wheeled riding skills practice. The three wheel knowledge test is given during this seminar. You should sign up for the three wheel skills test on the same day for a seamless endorsement waiver.
We only accept 3 wheel vehicles in our classes. A conversion kit or modified motorcycle that has 4 wheels touching the ground is not allowed in class.
