Independent Rear Suspension

Motor Trike offers an Independent Rear Suspension for most of our conversions. This makes for a great ride by allowing each wheel on the same axle to move independently of each other, creating a smooth ride.

But we didn’t stop there. We designed and patented an air ride suspension that offers over four inches of wheel travel. We also lowered the spring rate to create a more comfortable ride with plenty of “give” when traveling over bumpy terrain, with an extra passenger, heavy cargo, or pulling a trailer. You get optimum ride quality thanks to the fingertip-adjustable air ride suspension and softened spring rate.

Motor Trike also uses rubber bushings on all suspension components as well as on the differentials to reduce the noise, vibration, and harshness that can be bothersome to riders. Additionally, the roll center height has been lowered ensuring both tires are kept in contact with the road at all times which helps to prevent rolling. And finally, Motor Trike uses a calibrated sway bar to ensure comfortable and secure cornering.

With all of these preventative measures in place, the inconsistencies in the road are completely absorbed to deliver an effortless ride.
