@mack505@feistycricket.org here in Washington they treat trikes and sidecars the same. Same license, same safety course, same everything. The difference here is you can test on a sidecar, regular trike or reverse trike.
I tested on a standard trike but during the class I rode and practiced with the sidecar and standard trike.
I have flown the rig and understand the dynamics for sidecars and want one for my springer.
You would be fine on a trike, less worry about the rig and your body position is more natural to 2 wheels.
Like a sidecar rig trikes require skills that bikes don’t.

@leerayl@infosec.exchange Here in MA the license is the same as for a motorcycle. I tested on two wheels. I had to hunt down a rare MSF sidecar class after I got my Ural. Basically the dealer will arrange one after he’s sold enough bikes. I can fly the chair, but I haven’t done it enough to be confident. Just enough to not freak out of it happens unexpectedly.
