Lucky! I was talking to Norb just earlier he was talking about me possibly having to work around Texas law since the last time he dealt with Texas they wouldn't accept the import documents to title it. But Illinois does and so I might have to Illinois title it and then do a title transfer when I get it down here to Texas.
Either way, quite nice that our unique vehicles are being represented with their own plates in certain states. I wonder how long they would take to arrive. I plan on being in Illinois for at least a couple weeks after I get the Three Wheeler. Would be nice to have plates for the drive back to TX.

Haha, a couple of weeks? We are talking Illinois government. You will drive home with paper temporary tags and have the real ones mailed to your IL address where it is titled. Can't think of another way to do it.

Maryland just started "autocycle" as well. A lot of states are doing this to accommodate the Elio.

I just registered mine in Texas 2 months ago with no problem. I'd fire an email off to the DMV. Turns out I could have registered it here in Maryland, because it looks like they passed autocycle laws just before mine was delivered. Sadly, I wasn't aware of that. And I'm not sure I can now switch the registration to Maryland without an inspection.

In our area of MO, the Polaris Slingshot is selling like wildfire. I believe that between the Slingshot and Elio, that's where the push is coming from.

Registered mine in Maryland as soon as I had the manufacturer's CO and bill of sale. Avoided MVA...went right to Norm's Tag and Title and got my motorcycle tag and registration.

I had called and talked to you back when ASED was still saying it couldn't be registered in maryland. Since I had the option to register in Texas I decided to do it there. Looks like right before mine was delivered the law changed, but I didn't know that. Wish I would have. It was a huge pain in the ass to do it in Texas.

I see that some states, including MO, has a "fully enclosed" with ABS, seatbelts, roll cage or roll bar etc to be an autocycle.
I checked several states and it appears that the Elio guys have been pushing for the "fully enclosed" wording, which of course they meet. Some regs also say tandem seating, not side by side.
I think this is going to be a cluster _______!
In MO it would still be classified as a motorcycle because it's side by side and not enclosed.
