Can-Am is a Canadian brand from Quebec, and the three-wheeled Spyder and Ryker trikes are built here, making Canada the ideal place to buy. A trike is about confidence and comfort: two front wheels give stability a classic motorcycle lacks, and you can ride one even without much motorcycle experience. Let us break down how the Spyder and Ryker differ, who they suit, what trims exist and how to import a trike from Canada turnkey.
Spyder or Ryker: the difference
The Can-Am Ryker is the more compact, lighter and affordable trike, focused on fun and city agility. It is simpler, with an open riding position, adjustable pegs and a modular design that is easy to personalise. The Can-Am Spyder is the touring flagship: larger, more powerful, with full wind protection, luggage cases and electronics for long trips. If the Ryker is about city sport and style, the Spyder is about comfortable journeys of hundreds of kilometres two-up.
Who a trike suits
The three-wheel layout covers several scenarios. First, those who want the feel of a motorcycle without balancing at stops — the trike stands on its own. Second, older riders and those returning after a break. Third, couples: the Spyder, with a comfortable second seat and backrest, is great for shared tours. And finally, those who value stability on wet roads and confident starts. Handling is intuitive; in many regions a car or a separate licence category is enough for a trike — check your country's rules.
Trims and engines
The Ryker comes with different Rotax engine options — from a brisk twin to a more powerful three-cylinder — plus Rally versions for light off-road. The Spyder is offered in F3 (cruiser posture, sporty character) and RT (full tourer with maximum comfort and luggage) lines. Both use a CVT — there is no conventional gearbox or clutch, which keeps riding simple. When ordering we help pick the configuration: colour, cases, windshield, comfort seat, audio.
Why buying a Can-Am in Canada pays off
Canada is Can-Am's home market, so there is a wide choice of models, recent years and trims, and machines serviced at official dealers. Our Toronto and Montreal warehouses let us check the trike, record real mileage and condition, and take photos and video. A clean Canadian title and a clear history simplify later customs clearance and registration in your country.
Turnkey delivery and customs
A trike is wider than a motorcycle, so it is secured in the container with its dimensions in mind; consolidation is still cost-effective. The route is a sea container to your nearest port (European, with onward road delivery for the CIS and Kazakhstan), then to the destination city. Can-Am customs is calculated by your country's rules — a trike is usually classed as motorcycle equipment, with payments depending on displacement and value. We run the whole process: declaration, broker and documents, so you get a trike ready for registration.
Where to start
Decide on the scenario — city and fun (Ryker) or long tours two-up (Spyder) — and we will handle finding the specific machine, checking it and calculating logistics. We will show available options at our Toronto and Montreal warehouses and propose a configuration for your budget.
