In MD, ABATE had to cave on several “trike like things” in order for home builder/small business trike manufacturers [like us] to be able to keep operating.
That thing and the CanAm were just two of the “compromises” we had to gag down to stay in business.
If you ever get a chance to see one in person, do so.
AC, steering wheel, heat, the whole near-car works.
I'd die of shame, myself.
A car must have bumpers, airbags, whiz-bang safety stuff
Children's seats, the whole bit
But a motorcyclist can put his/her butt on the line
with little or no protection, with a child passenger
It strikes me as stupid
If one wants safety, then one can pay for all they want,
or not
all the stupid safety laws, except as they prevent injury to others,
are just dumb, in this context
LOL
