PROJECT ANGEL: A GROM AND SIDECAR FROM INDUSTRIAL MOTO

#PROJECT_ANGEL: #GROM_SIDECA #INDUSTRIAL_MOTO
WE LOVE HONDA Groms and we love sidecars, so this brilliant little rig from Industrial Moto is a double-shot of perfection for us.
It was built as a present for a disabled lad, and comes from Tyler Haynes of Industrial Moto in Virginia, USA. Tyler is an accomplished custom bike builder, but he has history in the sidecar world too.
A few weeks ago, Tyler hit the headlines with his Project GUS (‘Grom Utility Sidecar’), a very clever $1,600 bolt-on kit with adjustable independent suspension.
“After GUS was released, a motovlogger called iamsouless contacted me,” Tyler reveals. “His real name is Chris, and he rides a Grom. He wanted to know if we could build a sidecar for his little brother Nick, who has Angelman Syndrome, so Nick could experience the joy of riding.”
Angelman Syndrome is a nervous system disorder that prevents normal activity and movement, and Chris takes care of Nick full time. So Tyler, being a good sort, decided to do the Grom build ‘at cost’-as well as covering the vehicle shipping costs.
Chris’s TH-cam followers got wind of this, and started a GoFundMe campaign that met the build cost in just three days. Win.
Although there’s a wait list for Industrial Moto’s cargo-carrying Grom sidecar, Tyler got to work. He adapted the cart design to accommodate an auto-racing seat, complete with five-point harness.
Plus custom paneling in orange to match the brand colors of Chris’ TH-cam channel.
“We designed the cart to accommodate Nick safely, because of his syndrome,” says Tyler. Underneath, there’s independent suspension with a shock to cushion Nick’s weight (the spring is color coded orange too).
There’s also a safety bar next to the sidecar wheel, and an adjustable grab bar in front of the seat-like you’d find on an old-school fairground ride.
The quality of the workmanship is impressive: “It’s crazy good welding,” enthuses Chris. And the deep, lustrous powder coat on the sidecar frame is top-notch too.
Tyler added a few custom stickers and then new rubber to finish off the Grom: orange-and-black Scott grips, and a fresh set of chunky Kenda K761 dual sport tires.
Chris was stunned by result, and so was his little brother Nick-even though getting the lad into the sidecar is a laborious and time-consuming business. Chris also has to tie Nick’s hands to the grab bar, to prevent them going anywhere they shouldn’t.
