Possible stupid question: What is the appeal of those three-wheeled motorcycles anyway?
All the safety of a motorcycle with the maneuverability of a car.
This guy /s
I know a couple of guys with them, often its older guys with back, hip or knee issues.
So you could be handicapped and riding one of those is what I think I am reading?
That didnt even cross my mind but, yeah that could actually be the case and they parked over to one side to leave room deliberately.
I ride motorcycles. When I get too old I'll be riding one of those with my oxygen tank strapped to it.
A lot of times they're used by disabled people who can't ride traditional motorcycles.
That makes sense.
Where I live you can drive these with a regular car drivers license, because they are technically considered cars according to the law. So you save money and time not getting a motor cycle license. But that probably doesn't apply to the US.
In the US, it depends on motor size and a few other things. Also varies by state. But that's often true.

A motorcycle is: "a motor vehicle with motive power having a seat or saddle for the use of the rider and designed to travel on not more than three wheels in contact with ground"
I think they count as standard motorcycles in the U.S.
I can't speak for everywhere, but in Texas you have to have an M class license (motorcycle endorsement) in order to ride one legally.
They're just giant mobility scooters.
I've ridden one before. They're fun, but I'm happier with my car.
I dislike bikes but my guess is it's more stable than a 2 wheel bike, slightly safer death trap.
