As I read the Minnesota laws, they are really confusing, but it SEEMS like to drive a 3 wheeled motorcycle you need to go pass the written test, but not the driving test. DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR THIS as the laws are really poorly written in Minnesota in this case.
It is clearly obvious a 3 wheeled enclosed motorcycle like we are talking is legal everywhere in North America. There are some questions about endorsements, whether kids under the age of 18 must wear helmets, but the rest is clear.
It took me a LOT of work to build my first trike. The second one will be 1/10th the work.
and easier after that.
the engine and wiring is the easy part. the hard part was getting the body right and the frame designed to work with the honda donor car.

Doug,
Thank you for all of your time/effort in bringing this topic to clarity on the thread, obviously you've done your homework on this issue.
Lets all pitch in and work together to make this bigger than only one person can do on their own.
