I didn't realize they were not legal in some places. I saw my first one out on the street here in Edmonton last week. Very cool.

Maybe, but I would say the steering wheel and bucket seats are a dead give away...

 

Saw several of these a couple days ago while riding the Cherahola Skyway. They were all riding in packs of motorcycles. And not in rear where I feel they should be. They were riding among the bikes. And these things take darn near the whole lane. I know I would not feel comfortable group riding with one of these dune buggies behind me. Or even having one in front of me. Not in a group formation anyway. There is a reason motorcycles in group formation run staggered. Putting these in that formation reduces ones escape route. Nothing wrong with these, or other cages being on group rides. But I feel they really should bring up the rear.

Say what you want, that's a car someone lopped a wheel off to try and get around a few laws.

 

Not saying someone shouldn't buy one or not be allowed to operate it, just what it obviously is.....

In Ontario by definition in our motor vehicle act any motorized vehicle with 3 wheels or less is a motorcycle. So those three wheeled cars from Europe are considered motorcycles here.
