And if you don't even want to have to comply with the minimum automobile standards, there are now conversion kits for the Polaris Slingshot to give it four wheels. A local guy here is building kits and registering them as motorcycles.

So to query the point
I thought the reason the slingshot WAS classified as a "bike"was due to the 3 wheels. which is to why they can get away with bar mins in safety and blah de blah
so wouldnt a four wheel conversion take them out of the motorcycle classing?
or is it more like if the vin checks taxes paid and you got turn signals just drive it? I guess it could still be insured as a motorcycle
also I never knew that conversion existed.... might have to look into that
