Ural Sidecars: Russian-Built Rigs With a Long History

Sidecars have been around almost as long as motorcycles. Their last peak in North America came in the 1960s, and they are enjoying a comeback.

Ural builds Russian-made sidecar motorcycles and has done so since 1939, which makes it one of the longest-running names in the field. Its rigs were the type used for guided touring around Halifax. The manufacturer’s own website provides the history of the company and its motorcycle.
