In October 2016, I bought a Ural. Specifically, a 2005 Ural Gear-Up. This is one of the 2WD models, and it comes with pretty much all the various gizmos - shovel, spotlight, fluid container, machine gun mount, spare tire, rear rack… just about everything you could need!

Just amazing, great looking bike and sidecar, well it’s all one so I’m technically wrong but who gives a .

Good summation of pros/cons of Ural ownership.

Expect at least a few more esoteric Ural posts in the future. It’s spectacularly fun to ride, but does tend a bit maintenance intensive at certain points.

Thanks. Far too many people expect it to behave like a motorcycle for some reason.
I intend to drag this all about southwest Idaho and surrounding states!

Would you consider an electric conversion?

Not so long as the engine and transmission are in good shape. If they fail on me at some point, yes, an electric conversion is something I would consider. All wheel drive and regen braking…

It would made a good candidate for conversion, I think! Lots of room for hardware. My motorcycle was build on a frame intended for the Thai market, so there is not so much room for things like chargers or cargo after the batteries are onboard.
