If it has fewer than 4 wheels, it's a motorcycle under federal law. State licensing requirements vary, but I think all states require an M endorsement for a conventional trike (one wheel up front, motorcycle saddle, two driven wheels in back).

Spyders (reverse trikes, two steered wheels, one driven wheel in back, but with M/C-style controls) are motorcycles in most states. Slingshots and others like them (same layout, but with auto-style controls) are cars in some states, motorcycles in others.

The one I can't figure out are those motorcycles fitted with outriggers--training wheels, as I call them. They're faux trikes. They also have four wheels on the ground, which means the feds would regard them as passengers cars if they were being imported, and also for required safety equipment. But, they're all aftermarket conversions, so I don't know how different states would treat them.

Remember the Elio? Its biggest downfall was that it was legally a motorcycle and required an M endorsement in most states. Well, that and the fact that it was a pyramid scam from the beginning, but that's another story...
