Calling California Spyder Ryders

[canam9]

My friend and I are having a debate.
He thinks the Spyder is a trike, and in California the DMV states that trike riders do NOT need to wear a helmet.
I think it is a motorcycle and Cali law states you must wear a helmet.
Can someone in California set the record strate?:chat::ani29:

You have to wear a helmet but you don't need a motorcycle endorsement to drive a Spyder in CA.

Yup, what Lamont said. Helmet is required no matter if it's two, three, or four wheels if it doesn't have a roll cage. Or something like that. I know there are some "cars" that you can rent in SF that require helmets.

If your vehicle has three or more wheels, no motorcycle endorsement is required... this includes traditional trikes and motorcycles with sidecars.

I think your friend may have a no-brainer here. I believe our friends in AZ don't have to wear a helmet however. I'm a former EMT and Search & Rescue deputy. Not wearing a helmet is always a no-brainer. Literally.
