Most states in the US will classify a trike as a motorcycle even if enclosed since historically most trikes have been motorcycles with two rear wheels. Helmet laws apply where in force. At some point a car has to pass federal rollover standards which means that the roof has to support three times the vehicle static weight. A streamlined kit car with a 3 cyl. diesel engine can get better than 90 mpg with more comfortable seating.
