I don't believe that to be true. The 3 wheel stance is the big thing that classify it as a motorcycle.Welcome RonS,
As to your question:
When it is okay to classify the Slingshot as a car, an not a moment sooner. Right now the belt-driven RWD setup is the reason why the SS can be designated a motorcycle.
Given the info that we are getting from Polaris, or lack there of........................ It just might be !!!My insider in Malaysia says the Slingshot is FWD!
Don't get me wrong, that is part and parcel to the motorcycle designation too. It needed the three wheels AND the belt (or chain) driven rear wheel to be a motorcycle.I don't believe that to be true. The 3 wheel stance is the big thing that classify it as a motorcycle.
Not saying your wrong but can you direct me somewhere that says that besides just taking your word for it.Don't get me wrong, that is part and parcel to the motorcycle designation too. It needed the three wheels AND the belt (or chain) driven rear wheel to be a motorcycle.
You win, you have nothing more than my good word to go on at this point. :shy:Not saying your wrong but can you direct me somewhere that says that besides just taking your word for it.
Not a win lose thing I just wanted to know. I just hadn't heard that and had looked at a couple of states laws and didn't remember seeing it so was just curious.You win, you have nothing more than my good word to go on at this point. :shy:
It was something that was discussed with me at the conference this year, but I'm not sure where it is in writing for now.
As soon as I find out more, I'll let you know.Not a win lose thing I just wanted to know. I just hadn't heard that and had looked at a couple of states laws and didn't remember seeing it so was just curious.
This really isn't about the Slingshot at all, as I've looked quite a bit for info regarding classification as a motorcycle in New York State, and required equipment for 3 wheeled vehicles. I would be surprised to find a constraint as to what wheel is being driven, but states to funny things for sure.Don't get me wrong, that is part and parcel to the motorcycle designation too. It needed the three wheels AND the belt (or chain) driven rear wheel to be a motorcycle.
@Painter , has posted a lot of good classification information with regards to the State of Indiana.Now I have only looked in regards to NYS, so obviously other states may be different, but if anyone has links showing what classifies a vehicle as a "motorcycle" in a particular state, it would be interesting to see.
Indiana, Maryland, and Hawaii is all I know of at this time. Not sure what is up with Hawaii though, might just be shipping.NYS has the same ruling in effect as Indiana, that the "handlebars" can't be above the driver's/riders shoulders, but I don't expect NY to have the same response that Indiana did.
