[Silly Little Cars] Registration Question

[Jen Freeman]

Hi Cory,

If you have it already registered as a motorcycle, just take the renewal form in and ask to renew it and don't ask questions.  That was instructions from a DMV employee and it worked for me last year.  If you are in SF, go to DMV on Baker St and talk to Luz.  She knows all the loopholes and she's very cool.  
I had to get the engine block number and have the CHP sign off on it and bring that with me to the DMV.

Hope that's helpful.

I know that they used to be registered as motorcycles, but looking at CVC 400: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d01/vc400.htm it looks like they're no longer considered motorcycles. ("A three-wheeled motor vehicle that... is used by local public agencies for the enforcement of parking control provisions... is not a motorcycle.") So if it's not a motorcycle, what am I supposed to register it as? I know that motorcycles don't have to pass smog, but I read somewhere that the Go-4 doesn't either, since it's in the no-mans land between car and motorcycle. I'm just trying to figure out what I need to bring with me to the DMV to get it registered. I have the title, so do I just bring that and see what they say, or do I need to get anything cleared by the smog board first? Any info from anyone that's had to deal with registering theirs lately would be appreciated. And if it is a motorcycle, I guess I need to know the engine block number, but I'm not sure where to find that. (In that case, do I need to bring the Go-4 in to the DMV with me?)
