Sidecar/Trike Education Program (S/TEP)
Evergreen Safety Council believes that 3-wheeled motorcycles are significantly different in handling dynamics and characteristics from 2-wheeled motorcycles. For this reason separate training is required for both the novice and experienced sidecarist or trike rider. For those riders who choose to enjoy the sport of motorcycling on three wheels it is our goal to have this program available in all areas where motorcycle training is currently offered. We are working with industry representatives, enthusiasts, instructors, state motorcycle safety program coordinators, insurance companies, and the general public to achieve this goal. BASIC S/TEP course - this 16-hour course is designed to provide the rider with knowledge, confidence and 3-wheeled driving skills practiced in a safe, controlled environment. Classroom sessions present text and lecture coupled with hands-on activities. Each classroom session is followed by time spent on the riding range practicing the new skill presented in the classroom. Under the direction of skilled instructors, each student is coached through maneuvers until both student and instructor are satisfied with the progress. ADVANCED S/TEP course – is an 8-hour class designed to help riders with three-wheeled riding experience to further develop the skills necessary to avoid accidents and ride safely. Participants must provide their own rigs for the class which will be subject to a safety inspection and proof of insurance. |
