What is a motor tricycle?
• Three-wheeled motorcycles are commonly referred to as “motor tricycles”. A three-wheeled motorcycle may have either two rear wheels or two front wheels, or may be a two-wheeled motorcycle with a sidecar. • The federal Motor Vehicle Safety Act (MVSA) defines a motor tricycle as a motorcycle that: • is designed to travel on three wheels in contact with the ground, • has seating on which all occupants must sit astride, • has no more than four designated seating positions, • has a GVWR of 1,000 kg or less; and • does not have a structure partially or fully enclosing the driver and passenger, other than that part of the vehicle forward of the driver’s torso and the seat backrest.
