New York A08831 removes the requirement for three-wheeled vehicles to have two wheels in the front and one in the rear.

New York A08831 amends the vehicle and traffic law to change the configuration requirements for three-wheeled vehicles. The bill removes the stipulation that such vehicles must have two wheels in the front and one in the rear. Instead, it allows any three-wheeled motor vehicle with a steering mechanism and seating that does not require the operator to straddle or sit astride, equipped with safety belts for all occupants, and manufactured to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standards for motorcycles to be operated with a Class D license.
