About Lehman Trikes
Country of Origin:
United States (originated in Canada)
Founder:
John Lehman
Best Known For:
High-quality trike conversions for Harley-Davidson, Honda, and others
Company History
John Lehman turned a family need into a business by engineering stable, serviceable trike conversions that retained OEM reliability and handling integrity. Lehman Trikes developed model-specific swingarms, rear suspensions, and braking systems that integrated cleanly with donor bikes, then backed them with documentation and dealer training. The result was a premium experience for riders seeking three-wheel stability without giving up brand identity or touring comfort. Partnerships with major OEMs validated quality and broadened availability. After leadership changes, the brand’s reputation for road manners and finish continues to anchor the trike community. Historically, Lehman professionalized a niche once dominated by one-off garage builds, proving that a well-engineered conversion can feel like a factory machine—straight tracking, predictable braking, and long-distance composure that invites more riders to stay in the sport.
