Frequently Asked Questions

Are Three-Wheel Cars Legal in Alabama? 

Yes. In the United States, the legality of three-wheel vehicles is dependent on state laws. Currently, they are legal in all 50 states. Alabama classifies the Slingshot as an autocycle, which is permitted on all road ways.

What Is the Difference Between a Trike and Slingshot?

Trikes and Slingshots both have three wheels but their body designs are very different. Trikes have one wheel in the front and two wheels in the front. They generally only have seating for one and the riding experience is more akin to that of a motorcycle than a car. Slingshots, on the other hand, features two wheels at the rear of the vehicle and one in the front. They can seat up to two adults and have an open-air cockpit.
