My thoughts on the new "4 Wheeled Ryker"

[Rogue Hawk]

Very cool, but they call it a Ryker It's like when Ford named an electric SUV a Mustang I mean, it's their right to call it whatever they want to. But I fear the three wheeled Ryker will be dropped. 2026 Ryker

Complete rubbish that. “Open-air design” when it has an enclosed cabin? “Riker” instead of “Ryker”. $13,000 starting price? I think not - or at least not what they were showing.

As BC says above, it is complete rubbish, with nothing substantive (if anything at all!) from BRP/Can Am in there - that guy/site and hundreds of others like them make up all sorts of crap and then post it with click-bait titles simply to get as many views and maybe even (possibly purposefully??) to get the non-believing comments &/or actively generate discord; so much so that anywhere else, they'd almost certainly be rapidly identified as a troll and banned!!

If you are incredulous enough to actually look at any of them, there's all sorts of discrepancies, dodgy images, and made up narrative pretty much immediately obvious; so yeah, it's ALL complete rubbish, but even once you realise that and decide never to bother again, there's always more people somewhere just lining up to get sucked in!

Don't look like motorcycle tires to me!!!

And we all know that BRP is going to build that for only $13,999.

AI trash

There's 5 or more You Tubes out there with all kinds of models, don't know that any of them are for real.

Might as well build one, most of the Florida small towns are allowing 4 wheelers and side by sides to drive on the streets in town now. They have to stay off the four lane that goes through town, but they can drive on any of the two lanes. They're supposed to follow the traffic laws like the other vehicles, but they don't. People go shopping with their side by side. Even some of the package delivery services have side by sides in town. They bring the big box van in and park it in a designated spot, then use the smaller side by sides to deliver the packages. That works well, because the narrow residential roads are not blocked by a big brown box van stopping at every third house. Lot easier to send two guys into the neighbourhoods with a side by side. Not sure what the laws are on it. I think most of the small towns must vote on it at the city council level. Some towns allow it and others don't. It got started in the retirement villages, and now is spreading all over the State. Don't think you will ever see it in Tallahassee or Miami, but it happens in most of the smaller towns.

Interestingly, we visited Las Vegas and Lake Havasu City, AZ last month.
While in Havasu, we rented a Razor XP for a day out in the desert.
They're legal and licensed for road use out there, everywhere but the interstates.
It was very handy going from one trail to another, and easily kept up with traffic. I saw as high as 80mph, but the thing was DEAFENING on the road. The CVT ran it near the redline ALL THE TIME, regardless of speed.
The hardest part was that it had absolutely NO mirrors and no turn signals. I could see NOTHING behind my shoulders.
All I could do in traffic was give an arm signal, wait a second and slowly change lanes, giving whoever was there time to move.
That said, the thing was a BLAST in the desert. It would fly up hills that I couldn't walk up, and easily descend the other side.
Suspension was very impressive, with landings being pretty soft and controllable. For that area, it was a lot of fun, but around home, there just aren't many open spaces for high speed off-roading, too many trees.
