Who we are
Cycle Sidecar / Classic Motorworks LTD has been the exclusive US distributor of Cozy motorcycle sidecars since 1999. We are very proud of our sidecars and our service. We sell directly to the public and through a network of high quality dedicated sidecar dealers. You are always dealing directly with me (Kevin Mahoney) the owner of the company
A Cozy sidecar will attach to most motorcycles but there are other considerations such as the power and weight of your motorcycle. We will advise you honestly if the Cozy is the correct sidecar for your application. If not we will refer to another reputable seller of sidecars. We are happy to help you even if you are not going to purchase anything from us or we are not the right fit. The sidecar industry in the US is small and those of us who have done this a long time will help you find the right unit even if it is not ours.
Our office is located in Phoenix Arizona and our sidecars are warehoused near the port of Norfolk VA., which is also where they are shipped from.

What sets us apart
We are one of the only Sidecar companies that offers a 5 year limited warranty for defects on sidecars* (see our warranties page). Our warranty stops and starts with us. You do not have to chase the manufacturer halfway around the world and you will speak to the owner of the company each and every time. Our units are built to our specifications and are not what you will find in the "Gray market" units.

Mounting
Each model of motorcycles has it’s own challenges when mounting a sidecar to it. Many of them can affect your safety and the safety of others. We may have suggestions and provide some general guidelines but all mounting is your responsibility. Our mounting kits may or may not work for your installation. Fabrication of brackets, subframes etc. may be required to accomplish a safe installation. Our “Universal mounting kit” may or may not work for your installation. Universal is a big word - it means it doesn’t fit anything directly. It does include parts that may be helpful or even be everything you need. Every installation is different. We are not responsible in any way for the safety or suitability of any of our mounting kits. Many of our customers do the installation themselves, but depending on your skills finding a qualified sidecar technician may also be a good idea.
Cozy Sidecar History
One of the most well known Sidecar Manufacturers in the 1940's and 1950's was the Steib company from Germany. As autos became cheaper sidecar sales started to fall. In an effort to continue in business Steib started an affiliation with the Globe Sidecar company in Bombay (now called Mumbai). The Cozy company manufactured the sidecar bodies for Globe. In those days and continuing today sidecars in India are primarily used for transportation of the handicapped. As India developed, automobiles started to take their place and it became very difficult for the manufacturers to survive on domestic sales. We initially worked with the Globe company in 1998. They went out of business in 1999 which is when we affiliated with the Cozy company. We have worked for years with Cozy developing the product to be suitable for export sales. I have spent much time in the factory over the past 18 years and the people at Cozy are like family.
As their business grew, at least one other company in India started to produce knock offs of the Cozy. I worked with this company as well as Cozy for a short period of time. There is also a US-based company that is selling Cozy imitations. Again it is a case of buyer beware. As it happens I named the Sidecars the "Rocket and the Euro". It was a happy accident because the warehouse was getting confused by each model being labeled as just "Sidecars" or standard and non-standard. Now the knock off companies are using the same or similar names to ride on Cozy's coat tails. I don't mind at all since each company forms its own reputation over time regardless of what the models are called. Imitation is the best form of a compliment.
During this time period we were also the US distributor of the Royal Enfield Motorcycles also from India. Our business was called Classic Motorworks and it is still the parent of Cycle Sidecar. We imported and distributed the Royal Enfield until 2015. Royal Enfield decided to do its own distribution in the US and other countries which allowed us to focus full time on sidecars.
Unlike being in the motorcycle industry no one has ever called us to tell us that their sidecar wouldn't start!
