Ural is one of the most famous Sidecar manufacturers in the world, and now has just announced a model that can contribute to it more. In collaboration with the Yingang company has created the NEO 500 Ural, a motorcycle that is born not so much to cover wild adventures but for those looking for a vehicle that is practical and personality and, at the same time, more affordable.
Although the Sidecar is a very special vehicle and that it is difficult to see circulating on our roads, it still has its passionate. But you have to keep in mind that the input models are usually quite expensive. As much as they can be around 25,000 euros, and that figure for a vehicle that does not have the advantages of a motorcycle or those of a car can back more than one.
But with the new 500 Ural Ural can take a step forward. Although it does not have great benefits, we are facing a light model, easy to drive and especially affordable. The latter is its most outstanding feature because its price will be slightly above 12,500 euros, which means half that the next Ural Most Economic Sidecar, the Base Gear-Up.
The world of sidecar is so minority that it is difficult to know if it will succeed
There is no doubt that it is a change in the Ural approach, a way to “democratize” the sidecar despite being such a minority segment that we could affirm that it is coffee for the very coffee growers.
In any case, the new NEO 500 will not immediately reach the market and that is that during this quarter it is expected that the homologation process can begin, while we will have to wait at the end of the first quarter of 2026 so that the first units leave the factory.
Is it a sales success or the most enthusiastic will continue to opt for the most expensive models? Only time will say it, although what is certain is that many will have easier access to this interesting and unknown world of the “sides.”
