Does that sidecar come off?


If the answer is No, then I'd say it's not a motorcycle.

 

It does not. It is a fixed part of the "bike" and the engine, Citroen or Peugeot based, depending on size, sits mostly under/behind the passenger seats. Can carry four, rider, pillion and two in the sidecar.

 

I could see where that one could come in handy if you had your kids in the side car and they became unruly. Even the furthest one wouldn't be out of reach. :-)

 

definitely no, but i found out the other day, here in indiana you cant register one for road use.

 

No Polaris Slingshot in Texas, None in Europe, Either - autoevolution


"It looks like the Slingshot is the hottest trike of the moment, but despite the fact the Polaris and most of the states consider it a motorcycle, Texas law begs to differ. The whole thing is caused by the way Texas law defines a motorcycle. And yes, since it’s about the law itself, the prospects of a quick change are not looking too good."

 

Well, lets look at it this way.


Is a Can-Am a motorcycle?






Even if you need an MC license to ride it - I don't consider it one. It leans the wrong way and has too many wheels.

But that's my personal opinion regarding it. I'd say that all of those examples so far are in the same category. And I'm not saying that in a derogatory sense to where I look down on it. It's just different is all.


For the condescending "that's not a motorcycle", I'll save that for Ruckus'es (Rucki - plural ???) and other scooters/drunk bikes.

 

Interesting detail, the can am spider is considered here a three wheeler road going ATV and although the three wheeler vehicles (including conventional trikes) have their own category they are considered to be basically tractors and are therefore driven with a car license.

 

I imagine this would be really good with a set of sport-tires too!

 

 

So...were there any casualties when that spraybomb exploded? Looks like at least a few megatons...
