Here in over regulated New York an Elio tricycle is a Class A motorcycle/scooter and yes, helmets are required as is a separate motorcycle license. If the things were ever to meet FMVSS for passive restraints and rollover protection then a helmet should not be needed. As for ranting about safety standards for cars, I agree with the SAE. I want to live long pass the age of driving. Those who are driving impaired or distracted put us at risk. Save the extra speed for the race course. If you want a $6800, high mpg vehicle build a Vetter style streamliner, lap belt optional.
