There was a local TV piece a couple days ago and everyone interviewed agreed they wished they had asked more questions before purchasing. Some dealers will give you deceptive and misleading answers (enforcement issue, etc). It may turn out the only place they're legal is in your driveway (not much fun).

I saw that program, too. These things were able to go around 60 mph. Do you really want your young child to rip around that fast? I had a neighbor once who lost a 9 year old boy on a tri-wheel thingie and a 60 year old cousin who just about lost his butt falling off the same kind of thingie while hunting. Don't see much difference between 2 and 3 wheels except for the greater exposure to danger.
IMO, this is one of those things that you want to look into very carefully before commiting yourself.
