Kentucky General Assembly Considers Auto Cycle Statute

Kentucky lawmakers are considering a state statute for auto cycles. An auto cycle is a three wheeled vehicle that typically includes a covered area for the driver and one passenger. The Kentucky Senate has unanimously passed legislation. 

Sponsor C.B. Embry of Morgantown says the law is needed before auto cycles grow in number. “We needed to identify how these vehicles would be treated by state government, how they’re licensed, how they’re insured, who can sell em,” said Embry.

Embry says the auto cycle is already licensed as a motorcycle. He says passage of the bill would allow the vehicles to be sold at used car dealerships.

The auto cycle measure unanimously passed the full senate. Embry doesn’t anticipate any major opposition to the bill in the House.
