The Can-Am Spyder ("Spyder") is a three-wheeled motorcycle manufactured by Bombardier Recreational Products. The vehicle has a single rear drive wheel and two wheels in front for steering, similar in layout to a modern snowmobile. The Spyder uses an ATV-like chassis. The manufacturer refers to it as a "roadster," but in technical terms it is more of what has been traditionally called a trike. The Spyder was officially launched in February 2007.
By October 2007, approximately 2,500 units had been sold. By May 2009, 12,500 Spyders (9,932 of them sold in the United States) had been manufactured. Approximately 21 percent of its sales are to women. In addition, some 27 percent of Spyder owners have never previously owned a motorcycle.
In 2015, during the annual "Spyderfest" gathering in Springfield MO, the 100,000th Spyder was delivered
The Spyder has traction and stability control, and antilock brakes. In most US states the Spyder is licensed as a motorcycle. In California, Delaware, Nevada, and South Carolina only a regular driver's license is required—however, helmet laws apply in California as they do for all motorcyclists.
There is luggage space under the hood at the front of the vehicle. top boxes and other accessories for the Spyder are also available.
The Spyder also has front and rear brakes which are both actuated by the same foot pedal, a reverse gear, power steering and an optional electric shift (clutchless) transmission.
There are four model lines of Spyders, with some of the lines having additional trim packages, which can result in Spyders, even in the same line, having quite a different look. Additionally in 2018, Can Am started producing a new lower cost line named the Ryker. It is intended for a younger entry level demographic and does not bear the Spyder moniker.
(All types (except the Ryker) sport a front trunk, or "frunk".)
As of 2015, BRP offers specialty versions of the Spyder intended for Law Enforcement:
Spyder SM5The SM5 has a manual 5-speed transmission with the standard motorcycle left-foot-actuated shifter and left-hand-actuated clutch. It is a one-down-four-up system with reverse.
