Cool 4-wheel 150 cc motorcycle
I stumbled across this:
It's a 150cc motorcycle for $2200. Don't know anything other than that! Looks cool in green!
That would be a slick bike as a high voltage electric!
150 cc do get great fuel economy.

Somebody must have been really inspired by the '03 Tomahawk:
The question is why?

definately a tomahawk rip off, but without the 8.0L V10 viper motor as most of the motorcycle, it sorta looses something.....
anyways, this is one of the few 4 wheel vehicles I would still call a motorcycle. why? cause it leans and rides like a motorcycle.
BTW, that dodge tomahawk concept motorcycle, its real, as in it really works, rides, goes ungodly fast (as most things with motors that large do) and is very expensive and cool, I want one, just for the sound.

Well, you can't BUY a Dodge Tomahawk, but you can run out and buy the Chinese knock-off version!

most states license motorcycles as vehicles that have 2-3 wheels and weigh less then 1,200 pounds (I think), for $2,200 I suspect that those vehicles are not titled, nor built durable enough to use more then a few times.

I mean, what do the two extra wheels get you? You'd have to title it as a car! And since it's a "car", it won't pass any of the regs!

Both you guys are both silly!
Of course it's going to come with a title, and it is a motorcycle.
I'm sure it's made in China, and probably not very well made. I was mostly just thinking that it was a cool style, and more than likely has pretty good fuel economy.
Even if the engine is pretty crappy, just convert it to electric when the engine blows!

Motorcycle Definition: means every motor vehicle having a seat or saddle for the use of the rider and designed to travel on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground, including motor scooters and bicycles with motor attached, other than those vehicles defined as motorized bicycles. (MN Statute 169.01 subd. 4).

it will still likely be titled as a motorcycle, and registered as such. it looks and acts like a motorcycle, the seperate wheels act as 1 wheel and such it will be a motorcycle. most people when seeing it would call it a motorcycle, and if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, then its likely a duck, even if its a loon
