Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders, since this is a three-wheeled trike that handles more like a car than a conventional motorcycle and requires its own learning curve.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed, stable cruising and boulevard presence rather than outright speed or sporty handling.
Rider FitThe low 665mm seat height and no-balance-required trike layout make it very approachable for shorter or less physically confident riders, though its substantial weight demands care at low speeds and in tight maneuvers.
CharacterA laid-back, torque-rich cruiser personality with big V-twin thump, chrome styling, and the confidence of never having to put a foot down at a stoplight.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or a lightweight, quick-handling machine.

2017 Harley-Davidson Freewheeler Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 700mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Harley-Davidson Freewheeler, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
