I know that in my state, a vehicle can be considered motorcycle-class even if it has four wheels, as long as it's below a certain weight limit.

This allows for vehicles such as those little garbage collection cars and university maintenance carts that have to run around on public roads.

Part of the popularity of home-built trikes is that they tend to be easier to get the DOT's stamp of approval because hey, it's not a car!
