Answers to All Your Questions Related to Trike Conversion
There’s quite a range of what a trike conversion will cost for your bike. And, there are a lot of options to consider.
The price lists on our website are there to help guide you through the upgrades you can choose to determine what best fits your needs.
The labor portion is not included in the price list due to the fact that the labor will vary with the number of options chosen and the particular installers shop rate. It’s best to contact a dealer to get an exact quote for what you want.

A trike may seem a bit odd to drive if you’ve never steered a trike or a four-wheeler (ATV) before.
If you’ve only counter-steered a traditional motorcycle, the steering of a trike is a bit different. That said, it’s definitely not hard. In fact, a new motorcycle or ATV rider will pick up the steering right away.
We also always recommend installing one of our steering kits to make them even easier, physically, to turn.
HERE is the concept behind the steering kit and why it works so well: ROADSMITH Steering Kit
No – Not unless the issue you have with your bike was caused by the trike conversion.
Also, it’s good to know that the Magnuson Moss Act protects consumers from vehicle manufacturers not warrantying their vehicle because of unrelated accessories, just in case an issue arises.
No.
The first time you drive a trike, you may feel like it’s leaning outward into a corner, but in reality it isn’t tipping any more than your car.
And that feeling will go away quickly.
A typical trike will reduce your fuel mileage by about 3-5 miles-per-gallon. That’s because your trike will be running about the same RPMs but will be pushing an added 275-300-pounds, not to mention some added wind drag.
We do offer an auxiliary fuel tank on most of our touring models. If you’re riding with two-wheeled motorcycles, this option means you’re not the one shortening the group’s range.
Plus, you’ll have the added piece of mind knowing you can reach your destination if you happened to overestimate your range.
Yes, you can. That said, we recommend investing a little bit more and having one of our trained dealers install your trike kit. The installation price is typically pretty reasonable, especially when considering the overall investment of your bike and conversion kit.
We do, however, offer our trike kits for self-installation for the folks that are looking for a winter project, or that do not have a dealer reasonably nearby.

What makes ROADSMITH the Industry Leader in Trike Conversion Kits?
Let’s see what our customers have to say:
There really is no comparison. I’ve owned several other Trikes and none of them compare to Roadsmith. Even the other conversion kits that feature independent suspension, etc really don’t compare. And as for the Harley Tri-Glide and its solid-axle design…well, don’t even get me started on that wasted $35K….
“I’ve had a Roadsmith conversion on my Harley-Davidson for over five years now and I am EXTREMELY happy with it. The Roadsmith independent rear suspension rocks!
“Far better than a Lehman.”
We made the decision to do the conversion this year and could not be more pleased with the results. The Accuride system makes the ride so smooth and is well worth the cost.
“I would highly recommend your Roadsmith product to anyone interested in converting their bike.
I thank you for your attention to detail and truly caring about the consumer of Roadsmith’s well-manufactured trikes. You are to be congratulated for your integrity in your business, and in today’s world of little or no customer service, you again hit the high mark.
Let all other trike manufacturers follow your lead.
