There's several reasons to build a RT vs. a four wheeled car.


Read the link 3-wheeled handling.

Dynamic Stability of Three-Wheeled Vehicles in Automotive-Type Applications


A RT can keep the motorcycle registration. SCV (Specially Constructed Vehicle) tags are a b?tch to get, and the vehicles themselves are a b?tch to insure once you get the tag.

They're a relatively small investment. Most of the RTs I've seen and wanted were built with less than $10K mine is just at $1000 right now and
almost ready I have some buds near here that build vw trikes thay look neat but mine has a heater windshield wipers rain lol you have the motor, transmission, all electronics (blinkers, etc), all ready in a neat little package.

They're just plain radical looking, and many people (myself included) like the weird looking stuff. I live in a geodesic dome lol
