The Can-Am Spyder ("Spyder") is a three-wheeled motor vehicle (two wheels in the front,
one in the rear) similar in layout to a modern snowmobile.
The Spyder uses an ATV-like
chassis with a single rear drive wheel, and two wheels in front for steering.
It is often
mistakenly referred to as a "roadster" but in techinical terms is more of what has been
traditionally called a three wheeled trike.
The Spyder has traction and stability control, and antilock brakes.
In most US states the
Spyder is licensed as a motorcycle.
In California and Delaware only a regular driver s
license is required--however, helmet laws apply in California as they do for all
motorcyclists.
There is a luggage space under a "hood" at the front of the vehicle.
Saddle bags, top
boxes and other accessories for the Spyder are also in existence.
The Spyder also has front and rear brakes which are both actuated by the same foot
pedal, a true reverse gear, power steering and an optional electric shift transmission.
