Ural Neo 500

A Different Kind of Motorcycle

Two wheels get you there. A sidecar gets you there with someone - a passenger, a dog, a week’s worth of gear.

The Neo 500 is a modern sidecar motorcycle built for the roads you can comfortably ride daily: city streets, backroads, weekend errands, and everything in between.

Starting from a proven motorcycle platform, our engineering team reworked the systems that shape how a sidecar rig rides: steering geometry, sidecar attachment points, suspension, braking, engine calibration, wiring, ergonomics, and durability. Thousands of development miles and extensive testing went into getting the details right before a single customer swung a leg over.

The goal wasn’t simply to build another sidecar motorcycle. It was to build one that feels stable, predictable, and inspires confidence from the moment you let out the clutch.

Standard Features

The sidecar seats an adult passenger, or swallows the cargo a solo bike never could - camping gear, groceries, camera bags, a dog who’s decided this is now his seat. Reverse gear means parking and tight maneuvers don’t turn into a wrestling match. The integrated trunk keeps the essentials locked up and dry.

One more thing to know. Neighbors and total strangers will have to strike up a conversation and ask all sorts of questions. This is what’s called the Ural Delay Factor. It’s built into the Neo, too. Be prepared to become a local celebrity and make new friends.

Sidecars make the world a better place - that’s not a tagline. It’s just what happens when you can bring someone along and share smiles.
