MILWAUKEE, Sept. 1 -- Harley-Davidson Motor Company today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Lehman Trikes U.S.A., Inc. of Spearfish, S.D., for the development of three-wheeled vehicles, commonly referred to as "trikes."
Plans call for trikes to be developed around a Harley-Davidson(R) motorcycle product platform and sold as original equipment branded Harley-Davidson vehicles through authorized Harley-Davidson dealers. The Company has not announced the timing or other details of the product introduction.
"Trikes are another way we can inspire the dream of owning a Harley-Davidson," said Harley-Davidson Vice President Ron Hutchinson. "Harley-Davidson continues to aggressively develop new products. We expect trikes to expand the appeal of our products to those who prefer either the styling or experience of three-wheeled riding," Hutchinson said.
Lehman Trikes U.S.A. is a subsidiary of Lehman Trikes, Inc. of Canada, a recognized leader in the trike business for more than 20 years.

If the wheels come out of Adelaide, then it can only be good news. Let’s hope they develop a quad and not a mono cycle next. The more wheels they use, the more jobs they will create here!
