Meet the Ural Neo 500
A New Chapter in Sidecar Motorcycling
Because the best adventures are the ones we share.
The Ural Neo 500 is a modern evolution of the legendary Ural sidecar legacy. Created by the team behind the iconic Ural Gear Up, it carries forward nearly a century of resilience, connection, and adventure into a new era of everyday mobility.
Built on the belief that sidecars can be more accessible and practical, Ural Neo reimagines the sidecar motorcycle as lighter, more street‑friendly, and easier to learn, handle, and own than traditional adventure rigs.
The Neo 500 is a nimble and affordable sidecar designed for commuters, explorers, families, and first‑time riders alike.

From Legacy to a New Beginning
For nearly a century, Ural sidecar motorcycles have carried people and stories across continents - through wars, winters, and wilderness. They became symbols of resilience, connection, and adventure. Ural Neo is the next chapter of that story. Created by the team behind the legendary Ural Gear Up, Ural Neo was born to reimagine the sidecar for a new generation of riders and a new era of mobility.
Why We Exist
The original idea was simple: bring a lighter, street-friendly sidecar motorcycle to complement Ural’s iconic 2WD adventure rigs. That idea evolved into something bigger - a new venture with a mission to bring sidecars back to the streets as modern, practical machines. Today, sidecars are enjoyed by a dedicated group of enthusiasts. We believe, sidecars can belong to many more riders, if they’re easier to handle, easier to learn, and easier to own.
Ural Neo 500: The First Step
The Ural Neo 500 is the first milestone. A light and nimble sidecar designed for commuters, explorers, families, and first-time riders alike. Built on a modern platform and powered by the same spirit that defined Ural: character, simplicity, and the joy of shared adventure. It’s the sidecar you can use every day and afford to own.
What’s Coming Next
The Neo 500 is only the beginning. Our roadmap includes additional models that will expand the idea of what a sidecar motorcycle can be. And when the moment is right, we may even bring back a true adventure sidecar, reimagined for the 21st century.
What Drives Us
We build machines that reflect what we believe:
- Connection over escape
- Experience over destination
- Freedom with purpose
If your heart beats for the same - let’s ride together!
