“We don’t mind a competitor selling a product at a lower price - they know the value of their product”
Judging a Sidecars Value
Judging value can be very subjective, but a little bit of homework will help you cut through some of the marketing noise. While the price is a factor, getting a safe, quality product with expert support is even more important. Here are just a few things to consider.
What is the warranty? what is the fine print?
What are your rights as a customer when it comes to problems?
What kind of support is available, who provides the support, and what qualifies them to do so?
What is the quality of the construction?
Which type of suspension system do they use? (You do not want a sidecar without one).
What kind of instructions are provided for installation? Can you see the instructions before you purchase?
What are the limitations of the sidecar for your application? There is no such thing as a “one size fits all”. If someone tells you that - run!
What is the delivery time once you have paid? Is a deposit is required? (we NEVER require a deposit except for special order parts)
Is the company reputable? (More important than you might think)
Most sidecar manufacturers in the US are very reputable and will give you good honest information. Collectively our goal is to provide you with a sidecar that will meet your needs and advise you openly about their products’ pros and cons. There is no such thing as a single sidecar that is the right sidecar for every motorcycle. One size does NOT fit all. If someone advertises that their fit all bikes, they are not being truthful with you.
I highly recommend that you take just a minute and look up reviews for the company you are considering purchasing from. Look for independent reviews such as Yelp, Better Business Bureau, etc.
Give them a call - See what they actually know about sidecars, how long they have been selling sidecars, and what else they sell. Sidecars are a very small industry and virtually all of the reputable dealers in the US only sell sidecars, trikes, and similar products.
Pricing
Our pricing is simple and straightforward.
Both the Euro and Rocket models (Black color and fully optioned) are priced at $3,795 plus shipping from our warehouse in VA. The difference between the models is the body. Both models are priced identically. Each model had the same chassis, suspension, etc. The Traveler had a frame that is similar to the Rocket and Euro but it is a big larger. It’s price is $4395 plus shipping. Shipping varies but is normally between $200 and $450 depending on your address. Out of control inflation and supply chain problems have caused the costs of shipping to rise. We will give you a shipping quote upfront.
The only other things that you might need to purchase are the mounting kit and the rubber tire and inner tube. The tire puchase might seem odd, but most if not all other imported sidecars are furnished with an Indian, European, etc, tires. None of these tires are DOT approved which can be a safety issue. . The tires that we. made available are all meet DOT standards. We have them available at a good price or we would be happy to send you the correct tire sizes so that you can shop for your own.
