Sidecars from F2 motorcycles Ltd for all bikes

F2 Motorcycles Ltd are the sole importer of the Velorex UK range of lightweight sidecars. These Velorex UK sidecars should not be confused with the similar styles Velorex sidecars fitted many years ago to Jawa 350cc 2-stroke motorcycles. The Velorex UK sidecar is considerably stronger than the old Jawa Velorex having a strengthened chassis in the area around the swing arm and shock absorber mounts. The shock absorber is much stronger and the wheel axle is 20 mm rather than the older 15 mm. All these modifications along with our fitting kits makes fitting a Velorex UK sidecar to a larger and faster motorcycle both easy and safe.

Velorex UK Sidecar. The new Velorex UK sidecar must represent the best value sidecar on the market today. Built to a very high quality in the EU. The chassis is tubular steel with additional strengthening plates and the body is made in two parts. The lower part is tough ABS to resist stone chips and minor knocks while the upper half is finished in high gloss black fibreglass.

Velorex UK Sidecar equipment. The Velorex UK comes as standard with a locking compartment behind the seat, a wind screen to protect the passenger, and a universal fitting kit designed to our specification. It can be fitted to most tubular steel cradle frame twin shock motorcycles.

Velorex Unique Frame Fittings. Included in the price of the standard Velorex UK is a comprehensive fitting kit. The unique clamp design adjusts to fit any tube from 25mm to 32mm diameter. The kit also includes two lower swan necks with different offsets, one of these slots into the front on the sidecar frame and swivels whilst the second fits into a sliding clamp on the sidecar frame allowing the distance between the two lower mounts to be completely adjustable. The final parts consist of two straight adjustable arms going to the motorcycle top mounts. All adjustments are threaded so you are not relying on sliding fits and pinch bolts which tend to slip and move.

Sub Frames. The universal fitting kit supplied with every Velorex UK does not include any additional sub frames. In many cases they are not needed. On some modern bikes there is no frame work low down near the back to attach the rear lower mount to. Some people just slide the rear swan neck forward a little so it can attach further forward. This is OK, but we prefer to extend the bike frame backwards by fabricating a sub frame so the rear lower eyelet is just in front of the rear wheel. If you are fitting the sidecar at home these sub frames can be made easily using 6mm plate steel. As you can see in the picture they should be triangulated horizontally and vertically for strength.

Fitting Service. If you are having the sidecar fitted by us please be aware that the fitting price does not include any special sub frames, gearing changes or steering dampers your bike may require. Our fitting cost includes wiring, test riding and set up alterations to ensure the handling is correct. Generally if you have a duplex tube frame with a high torque mid range engine you will not require any further parts or alterations. We are happy to inspect your bike and give a fixed price quote in writing before any work is carried out. If you would rather fit the sidecar yourself please be aware that it is often not as straight forward as it may appear. If you choose this option, and many do, we will do our best to offer guidance but can not take responsibility for the handling and setup.
Price £500 plus any sub frame at approx £150 if needed. Ask us to quote

Sidecar Law. You can ride a motorcycle and sidecar if you have a full motorcycle licence. If wish to ride an outfit on L-plates, the following information should be useful.
In order to ride a motorcycle and sidecar combination all learner motorcyclists are required to complete a CBT course before being allowed to ride with ‘L’ plates. The combination should have a power to weight ratio not exceeding 0.16 kW/kg. All full car licence holders, regardless of when they passed their test, are required to complete a CBT course before riding a combination with ‘L’ plates. A CBT certificate is valid for two years from the date of course completion. Learners cannot carry a pillion or side car passenger.

Ural/Dnepr Sidecar Fitting Balls. If you are trying to fit a Russian sidecar to a different bike these will help you. The two lower mounts on a Russian sidecars have clamps that fit over balls welded to the original Russian motorcycle. These balls are exactly the same size as the welded ones from the original bike but they are designed to be bolted on and have a 12 mm thread at one end and step up in diameter in stages. Overall length is 105 mm. There will still be a lot of work to do before the Ural sidecar is fitted to your bike, but these are the hardest bit to make.
Price per pair £44.00 including UK P&P
