The maker of a new vehicle called the Slingshot is meeting with state motor vehicles officials to discuss whether they may sell the three-wheeler in Connecticut.
The Republican-American reports that Polaris Industries said the Slingshot, a reverse tricycle with two wheels in front and one in back, is a motorcycle. It doesn't meet the state's definition of a motorcycle, and currently may not be sold in Connecticut.
A meeting set for Monday at the state Department of Motor Vehicles will include Connecticut retailers who say customers have put down deposits for the vehicle. Ernie Bertothy, a spokesman for the Department of Motor Vehicles, said state officials want to come up with a solution.
The base price of a Slingshot is $19,999, with the premium "SL" model going for $23,999.
