They are claiming atleast '12' states have passed laws to not classify 'autocycles'[0] as a motorcycle and thus not require an endorsement or a helmet. That includes Louisiana, where the company is headquartered.

I suspect if they get a finished product off the line the number of states that classify certain 3-wheelers as cars will go up quickly.
