Slingshot Now Available to Rent and Own in Hawaii With Regular Driver's License

The Polaris Slingshot is classified as an “autocycle” in Hawaii, just like in 40+ other states, which means you don’t need a motorcycle license or endorsement to drive it. This is great news for travelers heading to the popular vacation islands, because exploring Hawaii in a Slingshot sounds like a ton of fun, so long as you don’t have any heavy off-road plans (you can rent a jeep for that). Polaris Slingshots are available for purchase and or rent at Montgomery Powersports (Honolulu) and Aloha Motorsports (Maui). See below for more info.

Now, Slingshots are available for purchase in all 50 U.S. states. Hawaii residents can visit Montgomery Powersports Hawaii in Honolulu to learn more or to test drive a new 2018 Slingshot.
