We’ll begin our rundown with Harley-Davidson’s Freewheeler Trike. Its base model is the cheaper of the two trikes, boasting a price tag of roughly $6,000 less than a base Tri Glide. A brief breakdown of each bike makes the reasons for that price a little clearer, as the Freewheeler lacks some of the luxury gusto of the Tri Glide. First of all, its passenger seat does not include a back like the Tri Glide’s. The base Freewheeler also does not include Harley-Davidson’s vaunted Infotainment package and has far fewer paint color options.
The Freewheeler boasts a classic Harley-Davidson look on the front end accented by pseudo-ape hangar handlebars. The trike is just as distinctive from the side and rear, with Bobtail fenders contrasting the wide-body back tires and black chrome wheels. The Freewheeler also boasts a sleek and sizable trunk, making it easy to carry some essential gear for a long day of riding or even a weekend getaway. But one of the trike’s legit wow factors is the largely blacked-out underbelly, a savagely cool feature that may be responsible for Freewheeler’s lack of paint options.
Of course, on longer trips, the lack of a back on the passenger seat could make for a mildly uncomfortable ride for less-than-clingy couples. Nonetheless, the Freewheeler is still a stylish and powerful touring trike fit for Harley-Davidson fans who desire more comfort and control with that vintage Harley-Davidson muscle.
