Maybe you could get them rammed through as “motorcycles.” They would have the same stigma as motorcycles among the general populace. These things would be absolute litigation machines in the US.
We can’t even sell non-V8 trucks to traditional truck drivers yet. 🥹 Can’t coal-roll with an F150 Lightning.
