Take this motorcycle and sidecar out away from everything for the weekend.
If you’re looking for a fun way to get beyond the pavement, this 2017 Ural Patrol isn’t a bad option to consider. Street-legal, this heavy motorcycle with attached sidecar allows you and one other person, maybe even your dog, to get away from it all and maybe even have an outdoor adventure.
This motorcycle and its sidecar just look ready to be in nature. The green paint is reminiscent of what you find on military vehicles, and the black trim just adds to that vibe. Wire spoke wheels are a simple accompaniment to the look of everything else.
It also helps that there are plenty of utilitarian features on full display, like two racks on the sidecar and less noticeable racks on the motorcycle. They look tough and are perfect for strapping down gear. Just like any proper off-road vehicle, the sidecar has a spare tire mounted to it, which is surprisingly useful to have when far away from civilization. The sidecar has a brush bar mounted in front to protect the body. There’s also a trunk in the sidecar, which is perfect for items you want to keep out of the elements but need close at hand. For when you’re not transporting anyone for a ride, a black cover will keep whatever gear you throw in the sidecar clean and out of sight. Ural even designed the sidecar with a textured step, so people can get in and out more easily.
This motorcycle boasts some great capabilities. It’s powered by an OHV air-cooled 2-cylinder 4-stroke boxer engine, otherwise called a flat twin. That configuration keeps the center of gravity on the motorcycle lower, so you’re less likely to tip, even when going over obstacles like a rock or fallen tree. You also get on-demand two-wheel drive for when the going on any trail starts getting tough.
Ural has been around since 1941 and has a reputation for making capable motorcycles with attached sidecars, something you don’t see as much these days. If you’re interested in purchasing this Ural Patrol, it’s listed through EagleRider Pittsburgh.
