Can somebody show me the law?
I've been told we cannot ride 3 wheelers on Wisconsin trails because of the death factor but right in the DNR ATV manual it says if it's got 3 or more wheels you're good to go. I'm O.K. with not being allowed on the trails but why is the DNR contradicting themselves?

◆ minimum tire width of 6 inches
◆ rim maximum diameter of 12 inches
What is not an All-Terrain Vehicle?
The following are NOT ATVs and cannot be operated on ATV trails or
ATV Routes;
◆ utility-type, side by side vehicles
