    They wouldn't exist if manufacturers were allowed to build bare bones four wheeled vehicles.
    Yep. Same reason CA has these.

    They can, and do.

    The Ariel Atom is the first example that comes to mind...

    Video | The Ariel Atom Is a $75,000 Street Legal Go Kart


    Here’s the catch:
    A street-legal Atom in most states must be assembled by the owner as a kit car. It can’t be bought/financed as a completed car...it lacks all sorts of safety equipment.

    Trikes are seen as motorcycles (or otherwise a loophole) under most state laws, so they don’t need to meet automobile safety standards. And in many states, a helmet is required.

    I think Texas is one of the few states that do allow a vehicle like the Atom to be sold complete. But there may be hoops to jump thru...I’m not super familiar with how the law works here.

    I think Harley-based trikes are cool, because they allow disabled folks to get the wind in their faces. I’ve met a few disabled veterans who wouldn’t be able to ride a two-wheeler, but they love their trikes.
