PATROL MOTORCYCLE WITH ENGAGEABLE
SIDECAR DRIVE
DESCRIPTION
When engaged by the operator for “off-road” use, the sidecar wheel is driven by a drive shaft
connected with the motorcycle main drive with a universal joint.

NOTE: the sidecar drive should only be engaged when the motorcycle is stopped, and only
when venturing “off-road”
HANDLING DIFFERENCES FROM THE SINGLE WHEEL DRIVE
When the sidecar wheel is engaged, the motorcycle handles differently from the standard (single
wheel drive) motorcycle. When the rear wheel and sidecar wheel are “locked” together on paved
surfaces, maneuvering is very difficult. Forcing the rig to turn on paved surfaces with the sidecar
drive engaged is extremely hazardous and can result in loss of control of the motorcycle. It also
voids the warranty.
The dual wheel drive should be engaged whenever poor traction is encountered in any off-road
condition such as mud, snow, streams, rocks, gravel, loose dirt, sand, etc. In these conditions the
extra traction afforded by the sidecar wheel will be very helpful, especially if some weight is also
added to the sidecar. Some difficulty in making sharp turns may still be noticed.
