These have got to be on the smaller side.

Not glass, do not see anything about DOT approved, but also do not see the typical disclaimer about "TRACK USE ONLY".

For a 3-wheeler none of this will be an issue.

So what is your design like?

More on that windshield, this one is glass and twice the price.

I found the second link here (also discuss polycarb):

Polycarbonate!? There is another thread somewhere about these. If I remember well, main issue is safety...they are not DOT compliant as they can't be shattered to get you out of the car in case of accident. The other issue was heat in the cabin as they don't insulate from the sun as much as glass windshields. Do a search on this Forum.
The other other alternate often discussed in the forum is the Lancia Stratos.

The Lancia Stratos I believe is even smaller than the Lotus Elise.

If you want to go even smaller yet, try sailplane/glider or kit plane suppliers, again if this is a 3-wheel licensed as motorcycle.
