has anyone ever heard of

[cuznjohn]

a spyder being registered as a car. i have a lady friend in ohio and she said she read somewhere that it can be registered as a car and no motorcycle license required. i told her that she is wrong and it is a bike but i also said i would ask.

That sounds a bit strange. I can believe the part about not needing a motorcycle endorsement or license, but I don't see how the :ani29: would be considered a car.

There may be a different argument if one was trying to register a Slingshot. :roflblack::roflblack:

Not Likely...

could it be a mix up with the fact that some states don't require a motorcycle licence. This could lead folks to think it is registered as a car. Spyder meets way less spec's rquired than the slingshot and it is having problems...:dontknow:

I know when i looked at the spyder 2 states register it as a car, i don't know which 2

Could never pass as a car without air bags, seat belts, safety glass and all the other good stuff mandated by federal and state governments.

Hey cuznjohn, I think your lady friend in Ohio has been indoors for winter too long and needs to get outside and some fresh air. there is no possible way that any Spyder could be registered as a car in any State in America. I can't speak for any other foreign country though.. Just my two cents.

i told her the same thing, i also told her to take the test on a spyder and that it would be easy. but i can't really tell her she is nuts because she comes to stay with me a few times a year

:agree: Don't try telling her that she's nuts... :shocked:
You've got to know which side of your bread is getting buttered; right?

 

[ahh-cool]

I thought the law was less than 4 wheels, it's not a car.

In the Netherlands it is registered as a car.

Interesting. Would have thought the Netherlands requirements for cars would have been even higher than those in the US. Guess not.

Here is crazy

The state of California does NOT consider it a motorcycle and you DO NOT need a motorcycle license to ride one
however you do have to use a helmet, it does have motorcycle plates on it and your auto Ins. insures it as a motorcycle
