Crash test means that the Oz system must be looking at it as a car. They don't put bikes through crash tests and I am sure that the motorcycle based trikes have not had to do crash tests.

The whole issue of vehicle safety regulations in Australia is bogged down by rules and regulations that don't always make sense. I've never understood why they could not accept the standards of another country as ok for Australia. In other words if it is ok for the whole of Europe why would it not be ok for Australia without putting the manufacturer to expense of a whole new lot of tests. As a general rule quads can not be road registered in Australia despite the fact that you see them all over UK and Europe.
