At what point does an adult tricycle stop being recognized as a legal road-going vehicle?

It varies from state to state but usually the deciding factor is the motor. No motor? It's a bike, no matter how many wheels it has.

Amusingly enough many of the laws are old enough that they are written with "cc" mentioned, below 60cc is a "moped" above is a "motorcycle". Those rules will have to be updated to account for various traction devices.
