Newbie here. Sorry to rehash something that has surely been brought up here before. I performed a forum search and came up empty. A co-worker and I are embarking on building a street legal vehicle (3 or 4 wheels) from scratch. But before we jump into our design process, I want to make sure I know the standards to shoot for. I found a couple starter documents like: [http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/staticfiles/DOT/NHTSA/Rulemaking/Articles/Associated%20Files/newmanufacturer.pdf](http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/staticfiles/DOT/NHTSA/Rulemaking/Articles/Associated%20Files/newmanufacturer.pdf) But I also wanted to get feedback from you guys and girls who are or once were at the same stage we are. Thanks, and it’s good to be aboard! ---

make sure its a registerable vehicle. from a “kit car” to a “motorcycle” usually you can register a trike as a motorcycle and declare it a “custom bike” i’ve been thinking about going that route so that i can have basicly everything into one package but still keep it enclosed. ---
