Bill Summary

For legislation relative to autocycles. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill aims to define and establish regulations for "autocycles" in Massachusetts. Autocycles are defined as three-wheeled motor vehicles with a steering wheel and seating that does not require the operator or passenger to straddle or sit astride it. The bill requires autocycles to be registered and issued distinctive "Autocycle" registration plates. It also sets safety requirements, such as the use of helmets and seatbelts, and stipulates that autocycles may only be operated by those with a valid driver's license, not a motorcycle license. The bill grants the Registrar of Motor Vehicles the authority to promulgate additional regulations related to titling, registration, and equipment standards for autocycles.
