Not sure what you mean, but accounting for the fact these laws are changing on almost an annual basis, roughly 33 states only need a regular license, while roughly 28 require a motorcycle endorsement.

Those look like a lot of fun for maybe an older person that wants to move away from motorcycles because of the inherent danger of getting older and riding motorcycles, or for anyone that doesn't want to ride a bike because of the obvious risks. It's obviously not the same,, but looks like it could be a fun little toy to ride around on the weekend.
A friend bought one of these in Phoenix for a good price during the summer months. He drove it back to Tennessee where he lives. He said it was the most horrible experience. It was so hot and the wind was blowing so hard against his face at highway speeds. The tiny windscreen diverts only a small amount of wind. He immediately bought an enclosed cab kit when he got home.
It is so lovely to see Scotty confirmed the manual transmission reliability. I like when he says it's fun to drive.
I rented a Slingshot for the day while on vacation in Sedona. My son and his cousin drove that thing all around Arizona and had a ball! They really are a lot of fun. Only issue was that you roast inside of it…sooo much heat radiates into the cab.
Imagine the garage full of real motorcycles for the price you pay for this trike😂

The problem isn’t so much about the drive belt breaking, lack of traction is the problem with only 1 drive wheel. Supercharging would be a waste of money.
Fun vehicle for sure! I have two friends with them. My kid loves it!
Looks cool. I'm still quite content with my XR650L Honda
Reminds me of the H-M Vehicles' Free-Way (1979-'82). If you ever come across one, Scotty, you need to do a review of it, one of the funkiest looking 3-wheelers ever made. Looks like a big space helmet, powered by a Tecumseh 1-lunger driving a snowmobile type belt drive.
Sweet ride Scotty. The paint on the Matrix looks good too.
Sharing this video with my wife. She isn't convinced I need one of these, and Scotty helps make my case. 😁
If you're ever in Branson MO, there's a place that rents these for about $80/hr. Fun for 1/2 a day, but after that, I was ready to turn it back in. More of a novelty than anything else. Honestly, get a Miata over this. I know they're not really on the same level but the Miata will give you the same feeling with added benefit of being able to turn on the AC or heat.
They are exciting to drive I work for a repo company years ago And I have driven the first models a lot of fun a lot of fun No protection but you be aware And enjoy the air
Wait for the Aptera next year. Faster and more practical for about the same money. Also has Roush suspension. 3 wheel drive.
$30,000 +... rather pricey.

Scottie, do a video on the Cadillac, 6 speed, manual, blackwing.CT5-V
Thanks scotty. A good fun alternative and safer then a bike
Polaris makes quality stuff. I have a 2002 325cc Trail Boss ATV, that finally was sacrificed to the "transmission god". Its sitting there waiting for me to fix it. I bought another one.....😃 Trails are a whole different universe.
A trike! 3 wheels is a trike! That’s how it’s been taught to me all my life. Here in CT those have to be reg and even insured but not many insurance co even know what they are! ATV maybe?
Can you do one on the Spider or similar?
My dad bought one with the manual transmission and he loves it. I have an old Honda Shadow that I ride. When he first told me he was buying a slingshot I told him to get a bike so he could ride with me but he’s too old for that now and he makes a lot more money than me to be able to afford it. I bought my bike for $1200 and fixed it up for a couple hundred more.
Can confirm these are fun to drive, reminded me of a miata or even a lotus elise. Not pretty, but fun, and more interesting than 99% of cars on the road these days.
Scotty, awesome videos! Hahahahahaha 🐴
That 2 l that Polaris supposedly made sounds exactly like a Honda K20z3.
1- It looks like a Spyder. I've seen Spyder's on the road. 2 - Polaris? Doesn't Polaris make ATV's? Aren't they based in Michigan? An American built Engine? Probably better than built in Mexico!! :o
I get exhausted watching Scotty as he just wont stay still. :-)
Scotty how fast did you go coming out of the left turn❓
I want /like those quads That have golf cart set up but quad capability But has 4 doors and fits 5 people and has windows/wipers/Ac/heat/radio and a pickup truck bed. Just not sure what they’re called.
I like the "Can-Am'" as well. I would wear a skull cap helmet rather than the full face for the ATV/dirt bike. I'd wind up having a blind spot; and whiplash trying to look around me. No motorbike license? hmmmm🙂
I very much believe in safe, efficient and quiet cars. So i ought to hate this thing. Yet, now i kind of want one. The fun factor is undeniable.
FJR 1300 awesome bike
where I live in San Benito County we had the Corbin sparrow 3 wheel electric vehicle featured in Austin Powers movies introduced in 1996. Now owned by Myers Motors NmG
Scotty I have a question a very important one I need help with I have four 1998 to 2003 Ford Rangers all of them have a lien number one misfire code I need to be able to fix this can you help me with some advice
Where I live, I see three-wheelers all summer long, but not Slingshots. And that makes me assume this isn't the best version of this crazy thing that you can get for the money.
Would be cool to roll up to work in the morning in one
An accident waiting to happen is what it's called. 2-3 wheel vehicles don't cut it. That's why I call them murdercycles

Be surpised ..they handle pretty well
My black cousin showed up to my house with one of these in blue. Parents thought it was Batman’s car haha. I feel like rolling around in these would bring alot of attention from cops.
I would drive mine in winter here in canada if i had one lol gotto be fun
They are a blast to drive! About same price as a Honda Goldwing- I'd get the Slingshot!
😎 I see so many people riding/driving these things without a helmet. But it is a motorcycle
We have had a 12v version of this for 4 years now. Very practical and reliable. With 18v 4amp Ridgid battery, it lasts about 4 miles. Takes 8 seconds to change battery and go another 4miles. Plenty range for my walking exercise with kids following me while playing their music via Bluetooth. 0-5 mph in 2 seconds 😂
I've always called it a trike. It's a three-wheeled motorcycle.

You'd be better of with a T-REX nodified with a Hayabusa turbo engine. Got a chain. Is faster. And is cooler.
The rear tire is your bumper

Not for long!
If it's meant for fun, and not for racing, I'd think it should have more bottom-end and less top-end.
No sale. Thanks
My son had 1.... Not super reliable... Lots of rattles and bolts that loosen up frequently....
For that money I would prefer a used Miata or MR2 hopped up.
Yes its not a racing machine but unfortunately with us humans we will find a way to make it a chain conversion or make it a drive shaft I bet it's possible but lots of trial and error I will say this wish it was a Japanese motor like a Toyota or a Honda engine these things would have a lot of upgrade options
Scotty one of the cooler Ogs here on youtube
They can have this...
I use this video to convince my wife that a mazda miata is the smart choice to buy 😂
I’d totally get one, and I agree, but you could also turbocharge it maybe? Lol
Polaris gayshot just like the 3 wheeled Can-am snowmobile/motorcycle 😂
Get a Vanderhall instead.
Is it a tricycle?

"Of those PITIFULLY UGLY THINGS" *Gasps and faints* Stop. This isn't drama class. This isn't the 19th century. You're not Jane Austen. And these objectively do not look bad.
Don't understand why they designed their own engine and not used a Honda or Toyota for example.
$30,000? Insanity!
I thought he would take the Slingshot onto the drag strip.
For what you pay you could have a Camry?
Whenever I’m in a situation such as this I always ask myself, “What would Scotty do?”
Thanks Scotty I learned alot from you 👍 Love your videos
supercharged golf cart
Seat belts, stopping ability, maneuvering and swerving are just one of several reasons to get one. You are safer and seen better on this than a motorcycle. Not to mention your back wont hurt after a long trip.
