This simple definition, along with a separate category of registration, will clarify everything and there will be no laws that contradict other laws. New Jersey law requires helmets for the operator and all passengers. A double-sided reflective helmet with neck or chin strap is required for the driver and all passengers, unless the car wheel is completely closed. Goggles and face shields are required for the driver and all passengers, unless the car bike has a windshield that meets federal motor vehicle safety standards. Operators and passengers should check the helmet laws of the states they plan to travel to. So let me be clear. I buy a sling and register it with the DMV and the registration says it`s a motorcycle. The law states that to ride a motorcycle in New Jersey, I need motorcycle confirmation, but I don`t need it for my registered motorcycle [Slingshot]. So one law contradicts another? Do the child seat laws that apply to cars apply here to this new “motorcycle” of mine? Polaris recommends that you always wear a DOT-approved full-face helmet when using a Slingshot.

Helmet laws vary from state to state. Contact your local authorities to find out what laws are in your state.

It has two wheels, has handlebars and the rider sits on his back, but think of the legal headache. Is it registered as a ship with the hull number or as a registered motorcycle? Will we have a motorcycle registered, with one exception that it must carry a personal buoyancy aid for each rider? I shudder when I think about it, but it`s all the more reason to set a precedent for separate categories now. An Autocycle cannot be used to pass the motorcycle or car aptitude test. Does it look like a motorcycle? There is a current bill in New Jersey that will record it as such. Read on, find out why it`s bad and check out our proposed solution.

And the insurance companies are happy. I can hear your prices going up from here. Do you think it`s a motorcycle? The driver sits in a bucket seat and drives with a steering wheel. Heck, he drifted through much of the video, something characteristic of a high-performance car rather than a motorcycle. It is also not a motorcycle, because there are no handlebars, you do not throw a leg and the only wheel occupies the rear. **Polaris recommends always wearing a dot-approved full-face helmet. It`s not for nothing that they also offer aging cyclists the option to remove their helmets and biker jackets from camp to ride moderately safer. With the slingshot, no configuration is required. My vintage Schott jacket was up to the task. I have only scratched the surface here and I have not otherwise understood that this ambiguity could lead to undesirable situations. For example, what happens if we learn that there is an increase in motorcyclist deaths? Could it be something with motorcyclists or could it be the influx of motorcycle registrations? Since they are all registered and counted as motorcycles in the state, we may never know.
