FAQ Las Vegas

OUR-SIDECARS

What is a sidecar?
It is a motorcycle fitted with a third wheel and a basket chair to take a third passenger along with the driver and the pillion behind the driver.

Is it safe?
The sidecar is perfectly safe and stable for adults and children alike. Our Urals are built to European safety standards and are fully certified by the Interior Ministry. All of our riders hold a special license for carrying the public. These are pleasure bikes, not sports bikes.

How many people can ride on these bikes?
The Urals can take three people including the driver. But, if your party has three or more, you can book several bikes!

Is helmet compulsory?

Helmets are compulsory. All of our helmets are connected by a bluetooth set for communication with the other passengers and the driver. The helmets are cleaned and sanitized every day and we can provide mobcaps if needed.

How old does one have to be to ride in a Ural sidecar?
Our scenic tours don’t have a fixed age but the guest must be big enough to fit in our DOT certified helmets. If Younger guests are wanting to tour with us and they have their own DOT certified helmets, we would be able to transport them.

Does 2 children can fit in the sidecar?

Of course no. It’s illegal and dangerous. We can only have one single guests in the sidecar (adults or children). The second passenger will always be seated behind the sidecarist tour guide.

Are there any physical restrictions?

The maximum height in order to fit 2 people comfortably would be 6’8” and preferably a smaller guest. Our weight limit for the sidecar to transport 2 guests would be a combined weight of 610lbs

What about insurance?
