Not sure what you mean, but accounting for the fact these laws are changing on almost an annual basis, roughly 33 states only need a regular license, while roughly 28 require a motorcycle endorsement.
A friend bought one of these in Phoenix for a good price during the summer months. He drove it back to Tennessee where he lives. He said it was the most horrible experience. It was so hot and the wind was blowing so hard against his face at highway speeds. The tiny windscreen diverts only a small amount of wind. He immediately bought an enclosed cab kit when he got home.
Those look like a lot of fun for maybe an older person that wants to move away from motorcycles because of the inherent danger of getting older and riding motorcycles, or for anyone that doesn't want to ride a bike because of the obvious risks. It's obviously not the same,, but looks like it could be a fun little toy to ride around on the weekend.
I rented a Slingshot for the day while on vacation in Sedona. My son and his cousin drove that thing all around Arizona and had a ball! They really are a lot of fun. Only issue was that you roast inside of it…sooo much heat radiates into the cab.
The problem isn’t so much about the drive belt breaking, lack of traction is the problem with only 1 drive wheel. Supercharging would be a waste of money.
My dad bought one with the manual transmission and he loves it. I have an old Honda Shadow that I ride. When he first told me he was buying a slingshot I told him to get a bike so he could ride with me but he’s too old for that now and he makes a lot more money than me to be able to afford it. I bought my bike for $1200 and fixed it up for a couple hundred more.
Polaris makes quality stuff. I have a 2002 325cc Trail Boss ATV, that finally was sacrificed to the "transmission god". Its sitting there waiting for me to fix it. I bought another one.....😃 Trails are a whole different universe.
If you're ever in Branson MO, there's a place that rents these for about $80/hr. Fun for 1/2 a day, but after that, I was ready to turn it back in. More of a novelty than anything else. Honestly, get a Miata over this. I know they're not really on the same level but the Miata will give you the same feeling with added benefit of being able to turn on the AC or heat.
A trike! 3 wheels is a trike! That’s how it’s been taught to me all my life. Here in CT those have to be reg and even insured but not many insurance co even know what they are! ATV maybe?
1- It looks like a Spyder. I've seen Spyder's on the road. 2 - Polaris? Doesn't Polaris make ATV's? Aren't they based in Michigan? An American built Engine? Probably better than built in Mexico!! :o
Reminds me of the H-M Vehicles' Free-Way (1979-'82). If you ever come across one, Scotty, you need to do a review of it, one of the funkiest looking 3-wheelers ever made. Looks like a big space helmet, powered by a Tecumseh 1-lunger driving a snowmobile type belt drive.
They are exciting to drive I work for a repo company years ago And I have driven the first models a lot of fun a lot of fun No protection but you be aware And enjoy the air
Can confirm these are fun to drive, reminded me of a miata or even a lotus elise. Not pretty, but fun, and more interesting than 99% of cars on the road these days.
Where I live, I see three-wheelers all summer long, but not Slingshots. And that makes me assume this isn't the best version of this crazy thing that you can get for the money.
We have had a 12v version of this for 4 years now. Very practical and reliable. With 18v 4amp Ridgid battery, it lasts about 4 miles. Takes 8 seconds to change battery and go another 4miles. Plenty range for my walking exercise with kids following me while playing their music via Bluetooth. 0-5 mph in 2 seconds 😂
My black cousin showed up to my house with one of these in blue. Parents thought it was Batman’s car haha. I feel like rolling around in these would bring alot of attention from cops.
I like the "Can-Am'" as well. I would wear a skull cap helmet rather than the full face for the ATV/dirt bike. I'd wind up having a blind spot; and whiplash trying to look around me. No motorbike license? hmmmm🙂
I want /like those quads That have golf cart set up but quad capability But has 4 doors and fits 5 people and has windows/wipers/Ac/heat/radio and a pickup truck bed. Just not sure what they’re called.
Seat belts, stopping ability, maneuvering and swerving are just one of several reasons to get one. You are safer and seen better on this than a motorcycle. Not to mention your back wont hurt after a long trip.
Scotty I have a question a very important one I need help with I have four 1998 to 2003 Ford Rangers all of them have a lien number one misfire code I need to be able to fix this can you help me with some advice
where I live in San Benito County we had the Corbin sparrow 3 wheel electric vehicle featured in Austin Powers movies introduced in 1996. Now owned by Myers Motors NmG
Yes its not a racing machine but unfortunately with us humans we will find a way to make it a chain conversion or make it a drive shaft I bet it's possible but lots of trial and error I will say this wish it was a Japanese motor like a Toyota or a Honda engine these things would have a lot of upgrade options
"Of those PITIFULLY UGLY THINGS" *Gasps and faints* Stop. This isn't drama class. This isn't the 19th century. You're not Jane Austen. And these objectively do not look bad.

What’s the one state you need a license for it in?
Not sure what you mean, but accounting for the fact these laws are changing on almost an annual basis, roughly 33 states only need a regular license, while roughly 28 require a motorcycle endorsement.
Imagine TH-cam without Scotty. It would be horrible.
I agree.
Sure would be nice if he was on Rumble.
I come back every couple years just to make sure he's still making videos
Get off his sack.
You are 💯 right. I sure appreciate Scotty.
Imagine if Scotty opened his own chain of auto mechanic shops across the USA 🇺🇸 how lucky we would be
And each one with clones of Scotty though. xP
It is so lovely to see Scotty confirmed the manual transmission reliability. I like when he says it's fun to drive.

Got a say it, Scotty is entertaining, smart, and very informative. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
The problem isn’t so much about the drive belt breaking, lack of traction is the problem with only 1 drive wheel. Supercharging would be a waste of money.
Just get a convertible and call it a day !
For the price ya
Lease or rent this at best wouldn’t ever want to buy
@@Realg401 yep I would be the kind of person to rent it for the day
Sharing this video with my wife. She isn't convinced I need one of these, and Scotty helps make my case. 😁
Imagine the garage full of real motorcycles for the price you pay for this trike😂
Or one high end Indian or Harley
@@STho205he said motorcycles. Not overpriced underpowered slow rollers
@@jace2wheel762 slow rollers that don't roll long before they fall apart ..lol
My dad bought one with the manual transmission and he loves it. I have an old Honda Shadow that I ride.

Great information and as always very entertaining, Thanks 😊.
Polaris makes quality stuff. I have a 2002 325cc Trail Boss ATV, that finally was sacrificed to the "transmission god". Its sitting there waiting for me to fix it. I bought another one.....😃 Trails are a whole different universe.
Whenever I’m in a situation such as this I always ask myself, “What would Scotty do?”

$30,000 +... rather pricey.
Exactly
ew
Thanks scotty. A good fun alternative and safer then a bike
I've always called it a trike. It's a three-wheeled motorcycle.
I always viewed trikes as third wheel in the front.
If I had to wear a helmet I wouldn’t have one! Thankfully I live in PA and don’t have to
Looks cool. I'm still quite content with my XR650L Honda
They are exciting to drive I work for a repo company years ago And I have driven the first models a lot of fun a lot of fun No protection but you be aware And enjoy the air

Another great video and this time on an unusual but very cool vehicle, and we ain’t talkin’ one of these 🚗 jobs either! 😁
Wait for the Aptera next year. Faster and more practical for about the same money. Also has Roush suspension. 3 wheel drive.
Scotty, awesome videos! Hahahahahaha 🐴
Fun vehicle for sure! I have two friends with them. My kid loves it!
Sweet ride Scotty. The paint on the Matrix looks good too.
I very much believe in safe, efficient and quiet cars. So i ought to hate this thing. Yet, now i kind of want one.
The fun factor is undeniable.
I get exhausted watching Scotty as he just wont stay still. :-)
They are a blast to drive! About same price as a Honda Goldwing- I'd get the Slingshot!
Can you do one on the Spider or similar?
Scottie, do a video on the Cadillac, 6 speed, manual, blackwing.CT5-V
That 2 l that Polaris supposedly made sounds exactly like a Honda K20z3.

😎 I see so many people riding/driving these things without a helmet. But it is a motorcycle
My black cousin showed up to my house with one of these in blue. Parents thought it was Batman’s car haha. I feel like rolling around in these would bring alot of attention from cops.
i crapped my pants over this and the entire industry got shocked.
Joey Jill will take care of that😳😳😳😳
If it's meant for fun, and not for racing, I'd think it should have more bottom-end and less top-end.
An accident waiting to happen is what it's called. 2-3 wheel vehicles don't cut it. That's why I call them murdercycles
Be surpised ..they handle pretty well
FJR 1300 awesome bike
I like the "Can-Am'" as well. I would wear a skull cap helmet rather than the full face for the ATV/dirt bike. I'd wind up having a blind spot; and whiplash trying to look around me. No motorbike license? hmmmm🙂
Would be cool to roll up to work in the morning in one
I want /like those quads
That have golf cart set up but quad capability
But has 4 doors and fits 5 people and has windows/wipers/Ac/heat/radio and a pickup truck bed.
Just not sure what they’re called.
I wouldn't buy one if you paid me to buy one!! Lol I'm outa here... Hey Scotty how about something on the Porsche 959?
I'd rather get a Mazda Miata with gummy tires for less
Scotty how fast did you go coming out of the left turn❓
Seat belts, stopping ability, maneuvering and swerving are just one of several reasons to get one.
You are safer and seen better on this than a motorcycle.
Not to mention your back wont hurt after a long trip.
Your butt will thank you too.
Hey Scotty..........30k I will pass. Thanks for the review.
Could you be a 1% in a motorcycle club and have that😅😂
Not for long!
I use this video to convince my wife that a mazda miata is the smart choice to buy 😂
I would drive mine in winter here in canada if i had one lol gotto be fun
That looks like it would be way more dangerous in traffic than my interstate 2 wheeler. 🤔
1600 pounds and only 20 mpg max? 😢
My son had 1.... Not super reliable... Lots of rattles and bolts that loosen up frequently....
Scotty I have a question a very important one I need help with I have four 1998 to 2003 Ford Rangers all of them have a lien number one misfire code I need to be able to fix this can you help me with some advice
The rear tire is your bumper
where I live in San Benito County we had the Corbin sparrow 3 wheel electric vehicle featured in Austin Powers movies introduced in 1996. Now owned by Myers Motors NmG
Its called the slingshot because of what happen to the crash test dummies when they did their first safety tests
You'd be better of with a T-REX nodified with a Hayabusa turbo engine. Got a chain. Is faster. And is cooler.
I'm a Harley guy but I'm getting older and I'd love to drive the Slingshot! 🐊🇺🇸
No sale. Thanks
Can these drive on the highway and all roads? And off road too?
Definitely NOT of road. .but yes. All roads
They can have this...
Polaris gayshot just like the 3 wheeled Can-am snowmobile/motorcycle 😂
Scotty might not have spent much of his money on cars... but toys... thats another story.
$30,000? Insanity!
Yes its not a racing machine but unfortunately with us humans we will find a way to make it a chain conversion or make it a drive shaft I bet it's possible but lots of trial and error I will say this wish it was a Japanese motor like a Toyota or a Honda engine these things would have a lot of upgrade options
Scotty one of the cooler Ogs here on youtube
For that money I would prefer a used Miata or MR2 hopped up.
Get a Vanderhall instead.
Is it a tricycle?
...always did wonder about the stats of those pitifully ugly things. Thanks!
"Of those PITIFULLY UGLY THINGS" *Gasps and faints*
Stop. This isn't drama class. This isn't the 19th century. You're not Jane Austen.
And these objectively do not look bad.
I’d totally get one, and I agree, but you could also turbocharge it maybe? Lol
supercharged golf cart
"You wouldn't want one of these as an electric vehicle"-- Too late, thats called the Arcimoto
Dude haven’t seen one in Houston yet
They’re not making those anymore are they? Aptera, now that’s the real deal. They’re going to be seen everywhere starting in 2024
3 wheeled behicle, thats definetly a tuk tuk
NOPE.
I would rather have a Miata.
Better elements protection, better impact protection, A/C, heater, heated/cooled seats, windshield wipers, et al.
Death trap😮
Thanks Scotty I learned alot from you 👍 Love your videos
If batman had a motorcycle
I thought he would take the Slingshot onto the drag strip.
Yes Scotty kilmer you are the best
Some women's revealing swimsuits are also known as slingshots
Four tires on the ground are always better that thing will spin out
30000????? 45 000 my friend
im leaveing google youtube and im done there and going to rumble and please make your videos' there 🥰🤩🤩
Chevy Ecotec is reliable.
Lousy MPG for a 3 wheeled 4 Cylinder
For what you pay you could have a Camry?
Cool! 😎👍
18 mpg really
Get an Ariel Atom.
I see what you mean. Call them trips.
How does something like that get sub20 mpg when driving nice?
Snow Mobile type torque converter same as the can am not an efficient power transfer.
@@craigjohnson3603 I’d never buy anything Polaris anyways but that is ridiculous
Imagine simp’n for a $75,000 EV! 😂
