The reason you might need one is because, in most states, three-wheelers are lumped into the same legal motor vehicle category as motorcycles. But, because the Elio is covered and has a steering wheel, Elio Motors figures it should be treated different. And so it is, in 41 states. But, well, as readers pointed out, it would be good to know which 41 states. So, we now have some maps for you to point out exactly where you need a license (the states in yellow, as well as Hawaii, which was cut off.

You can see the full image by clicking the gallery thumbnails below). If you don't like pictures, the nine states are: Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Arkansas, Alaska, West Virginia, New York, Maine, Hawaii. There is also one state where you'll need to wear a helmet while driving an Elio (West Virginia) and five where you'll have to wear one if you're on the young side (Montana and Alaska if you're under 18, Maine and Hawaii if you're under 17, and Arkansas if you're under 21). Of course, the whole point of Elio's PR earlier this week was to say that it has been working with state legislatures to change these sorts of laws and make it easier to drive an Elio. That's why these maps might change by the time the $6,800, up-to-84-mpg trike arrives next year. Unless, of course, there are more delays.Saturday, February 11, 2017 Alt NamesJay Farmington Rail Trail, Temple Spring, Hardy Brook, Whistle Stop Trail, Franklin County This multiple use trail has several access points and is about 14 miles long.

Main Staging Area   Staging Area   Staging Area   Staging Area   TrailAs of the most recent report by the Department of Transportation, there were 8,410,255 motorcycles registered in the United States by private citizens and commercial organizations in 2011. To put this staggering number into perspective, out of every 36 people you meet in the U.S., one of them probably has a motorcycle. 

For ranking purposes, we won't be looking at total bikes in a state, but rather people per motorcycle (the lower the number, the more common bikes are). So what states in America have the most die-hard moto-enthusiasts? 3. Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain -- Iowa Iowa comes in third with 18 people for every motorcycle, beating the national average by 50%. In 2011 the state had 172,929 motorcycles registered, representing 2.1% of all motorcycles in America. Iowa is also home to production of Polaris' (NYSE:PII) Victory and Indian brands, and has the famous Iowa Grand Motorcycle Rally. This Midwest state's wide-open spaces make for a perfect landscape for Polaris' and Harley-Davidson's (NYSE:HOG) famous cruisers. 2. Live free or die -- New Hampshire New Hampshire comes in second with 17 people for every motorcycle beating the national average by 53%. In 2011 the state had 79,266 motorcycles registered, representing 0.94% of all motorcycles in America.

New Hampshire also happens to be one of 31 states without a mandatory helmet law. The state is also home to Laconia Motorcycle Week, which dates back to the early 1900s and is one of the countries oldest rallies. Some sources quote attendance as high 300,000-400,000 bikers for this rally, and it is frequently ranked as one of the best rallies in the country. The combination of no helmets, great natural terrain, and the famous Laconia Motorcycle Week make New Hampshire a top spot for motorcycle enthusiasts. 1. Under God the people rule -- South Dakota South Dakota comes in first with 12 people for every motorcycle beating the national average by 66%. In 2011 the state had 69,284 motorcycles registered, representing 0.82% of all motorcycles in America. South Dakota is famous for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, which attracted 467,338 riders in 2013. With 77% of surveyed riders riding a Harley-Davidson, this event is crucial for Harley to not only show off its newest products, but also to monitor its core customer.
