    My local HD dealer in Gettysburg sells them. 3 wheel car but have to follow motorcycle laws like the Slingshot. They look nice kind of like an old car.

    Looks like the seating is for two skinny people.

    They do look verrry nice, don't they?!

    Every time I see a pic of any one of those Vanderhall models, I immediately think something along the lines of, "Gee, doesn't that look GOOD!" followed very closely by "With those out there as competition, WHyTF would any ever even look at a Scorpion Slingshot!"

    It's just a shame that over here in Aus, our esteemed Legislators would never let anything like a Vanderhall (or a Scorpion for that matter!) be registered for road use in this Country!

    It has a steering wheel. How can that be considered a motorcycle?

    They were at the Deadwood Rally this year and last. They had demo rides last year and everyone that took
    One came back with a huge smile on their face.

    I watched the video to the end. Looks like a fun ride. Waited to watch Jay and the owner exit the car. That was not shown. Probably a VERY awkward and embarrassing movement..... Jim

    they are nice but really small on the inside. it has 2 seats but it will not seat 2 comfortably. I have a friend who sells them. The Slingshot is much more roomer, has ton more features like back up camera and they are cheaper.

    Regs are state dependent. I had to look it up, according to sling's website: https://slingshot.polaris.com/en-us/...-requirements/
    Apparently, even Vanderhall uses the term roadster a lot, which makes sense to me.

    For WA: 3-wheel vehicle with a seating area, safety belts, and a steering wheel = no endorsement needed

    For me, enjoy your ride! whatever it is, even a Unicorn!

    When the wife and I went to the mountains in April of this year, we saw a guy on one at the dragon. He said it handled great. Got a chance to sat in it. Needed a little help getting out. For being 6'-2", 255, it was like getting into a bathtub that is covered half way. Oh, and I forgot to add that you will be doing that with a steering wheel in the way. For me, I simply do not fit well in them.

    You probably wouldn’t fit well
    In a Slingshot either. They teach you how to get out of both of them by basically pushing back and climbing up the seat. I think you can get a Vanderhall equipped with doors which would make it much easier.

    Just what exactly are you insinuating about Spyder riders, that a few of us might carry a bit of extra tonnage?! Speaking only of myself of course.

    I test drove one at Deadwood last year. I was not very impressed. I’ll stick to my Spyder.

    I test drove one last March in Daytona. After the test drive they had me fill out a questionnaire, my name, address, etc. and how I liked it. It’s a fun sports car, but when the turbo kicked in, it sounded like a 18 wheeler! (my Dodge Dart has a turbocharger and it’s quiet when it kicks in) I also noticed a left front CV joint noise and the car only had a few hundred miles on it! (The same noise I once had on a ATV and a Triumph Spitfire before I repaired it) After the test drive I told one of the guys that was working there about how it clattered. I thought they would pull the car and check it out but still kept it in line for more demo rides. (It didn't sound safe, of course I am no automotive journalist or a celebrity, but did once passed an ASC mechanics certification when I was young ) It is tight for two people but they are coming out with one that is a bit larger for $40,000. And an all electric model also. I really liked the styling and concept, but was really disappointed, and never did hear back from them about how I liked my test drive.
