Get Your Trike On: Introducing the 2015 FLRT Freewheeler

Harley-Davidson unleashed an all new three wheeler for the hard-core, triker set. The 2015 FLRT Freewheeler motorcycle was introduced as the company unveiled its 2015 lineup this week. The bike will retail for $25,000 and is available in Vivid Black, Amber Whiskey and Superior Blue.

The trike has a 1690cc engine with a 6-Speed Cruise Drive transmission, electric reverse and cruise control. It also has a waterproof trunk that can hold two full size helmets or at least a case of domestic beer.

The trike is lower and leaner than the Tri-Glide, weighs 1,045 pounds and gets 39 mpg.

“It’s a sportier-looking vehicle and, because it’s smaller in dimensions, it puts the rider in a very comfortable position. Think of this bike as a Softail compared with a touring bike,” Paul James, Harley-Davidson’s product planning director tells the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel.

Okie-dokie! Well, there you have it straight from the horse’s mouth. The 2015 bikes and the Freewheeler are in dealerships now.
