Hello Kayvan. Not sure where you might find a sidecar for your MP3. Check out some local motorcycle shops and ask who builds and works on sidecars. It’s an art. You want to make sure you get something sized for the MP3 and is adapted correctly. If not, they are just terrible to ride.

Good luck!

That rig definitely wasn’t done right. Surprised it was done at all.

I tripped in the garden the other day and mumbled to myself, “You break your leg and you’ll have to get a sidecar”. The prospect of one in my future isn’t hard to imagine for a lot of reasons. If I do eventually get one I hope my experience mirrors yours.

We should meet…if you’ve time, send email to domchang at yahoo.com

Never needed the locking button and even when riding an MP3 alone I seldom hit the button other than when I was lazy and didn’t want to put my feet down at a traffic light.

Thanks for the kind words about the pictures. They are a labor of love.

I think you were right about the inertia of the sidecar. It was probably that more than an alignment problem. Once I got used to it there didn’t seem to be an issue. Felt really odd though.

The sidecar was low and long. Junior just sits so tall. I probably would have pulled out the seat to make more room for him. A harness would be a definite item. Unfortunately for Junior I like to ride alone.

And I never put my foot down at lights. I think because it never felt like I was riding.

Never flew the chair but the thing did start to fishtail on the ice. No traction at all. I didn’t worry about falling but was concerned about sliding off the road or just getting the heavy thing stuck.

There is a lot to consider with these rigs and your comments highlight the complexity. I’m sure others will too.

Whenever someone mentions sidecars I’ll send them to your blog!
