STEVE-O Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Pretty cool, more and more I look at them the more i want to build a exocet. What exactly is the slingshot determined as? Bike? Car? Trike? Reminds me of a bat mobile style t-Rex. Also wonder if there is room to toss a m62 on that motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc1647545523 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 What exactly is the slingshot determined as? Bike? Car? Trike? Reminds me of a bat mobile style t-Rex. In California it's registered as a car. Ohio and other states consider it a motorcycle. For a few weeks, it wasn't legal on Texas roads, but now it can be registered there as a motorcycle, too. I will prolly suit-up as if I were riding a motorcycle (including a full face helmet), considering there's nearly no protection and no air bags.

Doc1647545523 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Looks fun! Any of them boosted yet? Polaris doesn't have a turbo kit out yet, but I understand it's on the way. Numerous owners have slapped a turbo on. I'm told it's pretty straightforward. I imagine I'll wait until it's out of warranty to do much to it.

zeitgeist57 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Congratulations, Doc! Looking forward to seeing that out this year. :thumbup: ...and props to Polaris for making something like this. I hope it sells well and builds a new market for fun trikes. After all, we know the Elio is DOA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GMoney Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Even though it's a carbon belt I can't see it holding much more than stock hp. I would have to imagine a chain conversion is in order once it's turboed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
