Idaho Statutes 49-114 (15) "Motorized wheelchair" means a motor vehicle with a speed not in excess of eight (8) miles per hour, designed for and used by a person with a disability.
I built this for my father in Idaho 5 years ago - he's never been challenged or accosted anywhere, whether on sidewalks or inside businesses.
Unlike the previous trike you posted, (which appears not to have been designed for a person with disabilities), this is not pedal driven ---> Neither a (pedal powered) bike nor trike. And not a wheelchair, even tho it may sorta meet local definition of motorized wheelchair. Glad your father hasn't been accosted.
