Ural is a Russian company that was founded way back in the early days of World War Two. The bike was based on BMW R71 and the side car was made so well that it could be ridden pretty much anywhere. A staggering 3.2 million bikes later the company still makes almost indestructible side car outfits that are powered by a simple flat twin 750cc motor in the bike.  The company has recently launched a manually selectable two-wheel drive on a left-hand sidecar. This makes it perfect to use in Ireland. They have done this because they recently achieved Euro5 certification. 

The machine comes with accessories such as a spare wheel, a sidecar front bumper, a pair of LED sidecar fog lights as well as a decent sized luggage rack. There is a Tonneau cover for the sidecar and there’s a jerry can as well as a folding utility shovel included in the package. The sidecar is even equipped with a power outlet for charging your phone. The two-wheel drive system is selected manually and engages instantaneously. If you should encounter a loose or slippery surface simply shift the lever to the 2WD setting and motor blissfully on.
