there's 2 sitting in a car lot

months ago, a friend was thinking about getting
something for food delivery.

he said they arent legal here in the US

So just problems with the brakes? Really?

How about getting in and falling over? Rich

Those are legal here in Florida. There is a farmers milk company here and they have a couple of those converted to a single cab with a pick up truck bed. In Florida they have the small motorcycle tags on them.

Any body see the video of an English 3 wheel car that is taken for a test drive and rolls over a few times? Funny as hell and illustrates the need to slow down to turn a corner. john

What I don't get is this:

Wildfire said the WF650-C has a single brake-fluid reservoir with a single filler opening, and lacks the required labeling of the reservoir, which includes instructions for maintaining the brake system. The system also lacks warning lamps that indicate brake failure.

Afterall

The WF650-C looks like a three-wheel car but is considered a motorcycle under motor-vehicle rules.

My motorcycle only has one reservoir and no warning light that indicates brake failure. A simple case of not classifying something as one type of vehicle but making it conform to something else. What next? Five mile an hour bumpers and air bags for mopeds?
