Most of my post above is over a year old now, as when the first M3Ws arrived here we were unsure if we needed to obtain an endorsement or not. But the Michigan laws haven't changed since then. In Michigan the M3W registers and insures as a motorcycle, but because you don't straddle the engine and because it has car controls and you sit inside of it, you do not need to have an endorsement on your license. Also, since the helmet law repeal a couple years ago, you no longer need to wear one but I still do.
