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 licence 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!
How old does one have to be to ride in a Ural sidecar?
The minimum legal age for the pillion passenger (behind the driver) is eight years and five for the sidecar passenger.
Can animals travel in the sidecar?
We can take small animals in a specially adapted bag.
Must I wear a helmet?
Helmets are compulsory in France. All of our helmets are connected by a bluetooth set for communication with the other passengers and the driver. The helmets are cleaned and sterilised every day and we can provide bathing caps if desire
