you can find the dealer codes by going to find a dealer (https://www.polaris.com/en-us/dea...=san+diego) hover over "Get Internet Price" for a given dealer and look at the url where it would say for example

Code:
http://www.polaris.com/en-us/slingshot/quote?DealerID=02946900
SOUTH BAY MOTORSPORTS
Distance: 11 Mi
1890 AUTO PARK PLACE
CHULA VISTA, CA 91911
619-420-2300
DealerID=02946900

idk if virtual test drives will work for this like they do for kia, chrysler etc but its worth posting the info for how to find dealer codes
CALIFORNIA SPEED-SPORTS
Distance: 11 Mi
2310 NISSEN DRIVE
LIVERMORE, CA 94551
925-606-1998
02943500

I've been seeing people test drive these lately, 2 or more at a time. Nobody has worn a helmet each time or any kind of gear. It's probably more of a "we recommend" kind of thing.

I think they classify this as an enclosed 3-wheeler, hence no helmet needed in most states if you are over 21. https://support.eliomotors.com/hc/en-us/articles/203503300-Does-my-state-law-require-me-to-wear-a-he... [eliomotors.com]
