Why Choose Hannigan?
RIDE WITH FREEDOM AND RELIABILITY
ON THE BEST HANDLING INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION TRIKE.
Hannigan Trikes will give you the ride of your life. The features that put Hannigan ahead of the rest of the pack are many, but of primary importance is the independent suspension with sway bar. Our independent suspension has almost no lateral forces on the motorcycle seat creating a much healthier, more comfortable ride, even for your passenger. Our 60-inch wide track and CRX sports car stabilizer has made the Hannigan Trike one of the safest and most stable trikes available. It will out-corner other trikes, allowing you to run with your two wheel companions on twisty roads. Hannigan Trikes have the best combination of sporty handling and a plush ride.
Progressive Suspension® I.A.S. Gas Shocks in all Hannigan Trikes are very user friendly. Inertia sensitive damping enables the wheel to react quickly to rough surfaces while still maintaining full damping control for taut precise handling.
The In-line Drive Shaft of the original motorcycle is used in its original position to ensure smooth running and unbeatable reliability.
All Hannigan Trikes use a 7.5 inch Ford Thunderbird differential with 2.73 gears matched to right-size tires to maintain the original bike ratio, except for the Hannigan Harley-Davidson® FLH series Trike conversion, which uses the original H-D belt drive and sprocket. Mufflers of the original motorcycles are used on all Hannigan Trikes.
All Hannigan Trikes come with standard disc brakes. On Hannigan’s BMW®, Harley® and Honda® Trike conversions, the original ABS System has been retained.
An auxiliary fuel tank is available for the Gold Wing (4 gallons), BMW® (4 1/2 gallons), Harley (4 gallons) and Yamaha Venture® (4 gallons) Trike conversions with a separate filler neck for convenience. The fuel is transferred from the TIG-welded heavy gauge aluminum tank to the main tank by the rider-activated fuel pump. The tank is located inside the trike frame to extend fuel range with maximum safety.

TRIKES ARE COOL, SAFE, AND FUN!
Trikes are an inevitable part of the motorcycling culture. At Hannigan Motorsports Motorcycling is integrated in everyday life. A Renowned and unrivaled, independent Suspension Hannigan trike will give you the ride of your life. Style, Reliability, Handling and Comfort are our focus with every trike produced.
SUSPENSION
The fully independent Hannigan Trike utilizes several unique approaches to maximize both handling and ride: wide-track suspension, IAS shocks, and a stabilizer bar.
Some independent suspension systems use A arms which only allow the wheel to move in a vertical direction. The Hannigan twin trailing arms allow the wheels to move back and away from the bump resulting in a cushier ride.
Sooner or later, air shocks and other suspension components utilizing air pressure will begin to leak or fail altogether, resulting in poor handling. Also, air shocks require regular monitoring and are not user-friendly. Instead, Hannigan Trikes utilize dual Progressive Suspension IAS Shocks (Inertially Activated System) with dual spring loaded pistons that can sense when the seat compresses down and when the swing-arms compress up. The shocks automatically change valving to reduce impact to the seat. In a trike application they contribute to a more stable ride by minimizing negative lean in hard cornering.
Our 60-inch wide track and sports car-style stabilizer bar have resulted in one of the safest and most stable trikes available. In head to head comparison tests, the Hannigan Trike out-handles the best of the solid axle trikes while offering a ride that is judged superior by the vast majority of riders. Truly, the first no compromise trike.
