22 CAR § 50-120. Motorized recreation vehicles — All-terrain cycles — Licensing information

(a)(1) Three-wheel ATCs (all-terrain cycles) or three-wheelers are now licensable in Arkansas regardless of engine displacement. (2) There are, however, certain requirements that must be met by the owner in order to receive a license. (b)(1) Any three-wheeler to be licensed must first be registered per Acts 1983, No. 872 (Attachment #1). (2) A one-time issued sticker should be attached to the front fork of the vehicle. (3) After registration, the vehicle must pass a state-approved inspection (see Attachment #2). (4) After the vehicle has been both assessed and inspected, the owner should proceed to his or her local revenue office to purchase the license. (5) The metal license plate must be attached to the rear of the three-wheeler when in operation on any street or highway. (c)(1) In reference to the inspection, any equipment necessary for approved inspection, lights, muffler, etc., must remain on vehicle for highway use. (2) This means a person cannot install lights, muffler, etc., in order to pass inspection and then remove them for use on the highway. (d)(1) All operators and passengers on any licensed three-wheeler must wear all safety equipment required of motorcycle riders. (2) This includes helmets, eye protection, and any other rider equipment required by law (see State Highway Commission Regulation 75-1703). (3)(A) On most three-wheelers there are no foot pegs for passengers. (B) Therefore, in these cases passengers are not to be allowed (see State Highway Commission Regulation 75-1702). (e) For any questions you may have concerning department policy, see 22 CAR § 50-119 or contact the Operations Section in Central Office.
