TRICYCLE SPYDER CAN-AM – THREE WHEELS MOTORCYCLE SPECIFICATION IN MALAYSIA

Maybe many of us didn’t realize of the existance of the tricycle motorbike like Spyder Can-Am in Malaysia. Maybe we are too concentrating on the car story rather than digging up some motorcycle stuff. But now, you are already exposed to JPJ approved to be on the road, the Spyder CAN-AM 3 wheels motorbike.

This motorbike has some features nearly same as a car but it is more towards a motorbike genetic. Is it worth to have the 3 wheels motorbike? With no roof and you are stuck in the jam? Hmm.. We can see rarely people buy this motorbike. I never see the bike on the road in Malaysia. But the bike is absolutely cool.

It has a wider dimension than a Perodua Kancil, ABS, EBD and many of car specification in the 998 cc motorbike.

Here we would like to share some information regarding specification of Spyder Can-am 3 wheels motorcycle
