Bill > S2278

This bill amends the definition of "autocycle" in Massachusetts law and establishes new regulations for the registration, safety requirements, and licensing of autocycles. It defines an autocycle as a three-wheeled motor vehicle that has a steering wheel and seating that does not require the operator or passenger to straddle or sit astride it, and which has been certified by the manufacturer to meet federal motor vehicle safety standards for motorcycles. The bill requires autocycle operators and passengers to wear protective headgear and safety belts, and prohibits passengers under the age of 8 who are less than 57 inches tall. The bill also specifies that autocycles may only be operated by individuals with a valid motor vehicle license, not a motorcycle-only license.
