56 GraceRiderMag.com July/August 2015 H arley-Davidson puts hot-rod swagger on three wheels with the 2015 Freewheeler™ motorcycle, trike model that fuses pure custom style and easy-handling performance. From its mini ape-hanger handlebar to its bobtail fenders, the Freewheeler is a page ripped straight from the bad-attitude handbook, offered in a compact and nimble package that delivers a riding experience like nothing else on the road. Riding on three wheels has never been cooler. "With its low profile and stripped-down details inspired by classic hot rods, the Freewheeler looks sweeter than a state fair funnel cake," said Tony Pink, Freewheeler styling lead. "From the new nacelle to the fastback seat and flat-top trunk, this trike is styled to look tight and compact. Even the new passenger hand rails are designed to flow with the bodywork. e Freewheeler debuted with some real street cred." e Freewheeler front end is all new and features a seven-piece chrome nacelle that's tucked tight to the forks and holds a Dual Halogen headlamp in a polished chrome bucket. A trim front fender tops a 19-inch Enforcer cast-aluminum wheel with machined highlights. e all-new rear body shape gives the Freewheeler a low, lean profile and incorporates a weatherproof trunk designed to hold two full-face helmets. e top-mounted trunk door opens right-to-le for easy loading. Dual chrome mufflers with slash-down tips are inset in the bottom of the trunk. Bobtail fenders terminate in an arrogant flip to expose the rear tires and incorporate bright LED stop/tail/turn lamps. e Freewheeler puts more riders in a comfortable, confident position. at 12-inch mini-ape handlebar offers the tallest rise available on any Harley-Davidson motorcycle to place the hand controls closer to the rider and reduce steering reach and effort. e seat is shaped to move the rider forward for a better reach to the foot and hand controls, with a passenger position designed for comfort while blending with the bodywork. So-touch passenger grab rails are easy to grip and mount directly to the body. e influence of customer feedback is evident throughout the Freewheeler. e speedometer features a black face with easy-to-read graphics. e chrome console features a One-Touch door over the fuel fill.
