Residents in the Empire State Can Now
Experience the One-of-a-Kind Polaris Slingshot with a Standard
Driver’s License
Polaris Slingshot, the show-stopping, adventure-seeking
three-wheel open-air motorcycle has announced that, beginning April
20, drivers in New York can operate a Slingshot with a standard
D-class driver’s license, instead of the previously required
motorcycle endorsement. The state of New York has both reclassified
the three-wheeled motorcycle as a three-wheeled motor vehicle
(often referred to as “autocycle”) and provided operator licensing
requirements similar to nearly every U.S. state.

Polaris Slingshot does not operate like a traditional
motorcycle, offering a unique three-wheel configuration with two
wheels in the front, and one wheel in the rear, a steering wheel,
side-by-side bucket seats, seat belts, and an automated manual
transmission or manual transmission option typically found in
traditional automobiles.
“We’re excited to open up the door for more New Yorkers to
experience the open-air driving experience only a Polaris Slingshot
delivers,” said Chris Sergeant, Vice President of Polaris
Slingshot.
Currently, Slingshots are well-represented in the state with an
engaged group of owners and dealers. Enabling people to enjoy the
Slingshot ride with a driver’s license fulfills the desire heard by
many who are eager to get behind the wheel and join in the
community. Whether it’s a beautiful backdrop of winding roads in
upstate New York, or the hustle-and-bustle of New York City, the
state offers endless destinations to make the most of the
Slingshot’s open-air experience.
Fusing style and excitement with limitless personalization
opportunities, the 2022 Slingshot lineup empowers drivers to make
their mark by defining their ride and choosing their own adventure.
From the entry-level S model (MSRP $20,799) to the top-of-the-line
Signature LE (MSRP $35,799), there is an option for all interested
in the driving exhilaration that only a Slingshot can deliver.
New product updates for 2022 including an all-new Vented Sport
Hood, stylish Excursion Top and premium Brembo® Brakes can be
further enhanced by thoughtfully curated accessory collections from
Slingshot, providing owners with endless personalization options to
truly make their mark.
Slingshot offers four curated collections to dramatically
enhance the Slingshot experience for the driver’s personal
preference and driving style. Some of the enhanced features within
these collections include a 100-watt Rockford Fosgate® audio
system, a seven-inch touchscreen display powered by RIDE COMMAND,
Apple CarPlay®, and a Premium Interior Lighting Kit by XKGlow®,
which allows owners to outfit the interior of their Slingshot with
six LED lights and LED light pods in various locations. With the
mobile Slingshot LED app, owners can simultaneously set two
different light zones to any color and choreograph the lights while
music plays.
