Here is a copy of the email I sent to my MVA:

Subject: MVA0000545743 Autocycle Registration
To whom this may concern:
I have reserved an autocycle and I have been reviewing the rules for motorcycle endorsement in MD.
I am confused about which parts would apply to this vehicle. Because it has only 3 wheels it is considered a motorcycle at the Federal level, but it is nothing like a trike style. It is a fully enclosed automobile set up just like any standard automobile with standard automotive controls and equipment. Many other states have created a new category for "autocycle"
that does not have any requirements different from the standard drivers license. However, I could not find any information about this for MD. I have no desire to ride a standard two or 3 wheel motorcycle, only to drive the Elio as I would a normal car. I do not have a motorcycle license, only a standard MD drivers license.

What would I have to do to get licensed for this vehicle?
