In an effort to persuade traditional motorcyclists to consider a three-wheeler, Polaris is offering a generous incentive if you trade in a motorcycle for a [Slingshot](<https://www.thedrive.com/motorcycles/20107/the-polaris-slingshot-is-now-available-for-purchase-in-all-50-states>). “Polaris Slingshot has announced a limited-time offer trade-in program,” said a Polaris representative in an email to *The Drive*. “Until May 31, 2018, trade in any \[750 cc\] or larger motorcycle (including sand rail buggy) and receive a $1,000 trade-in allowance for a new 2018 Slingshot S, SL, SLR, SLR LE or Grand Touring LE."

This is Polaris taking a shot at attracting not just motorcyclists, but anyone into weird recreational vehicles like sand rail buggies. There aren’t a lot of opportunities to get a trade-in incentive on something as weird as a street legal sand rail buggy, so this is a good deal if you happen to have one and you’re looking for something different.

So if you are in the narrow sand rail buggy market, why should you consider a [Slingshot](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/19944/polaris-slingshot-recalled-for-faulty-seats-seat-belts>)? “Many consumers are looking for fun vehicles to enjoy daily or on the weekend,” said Josh Fulkerson, Slingshot Sr. Director in a press release. “As much fun as a sand rail buggy might be, Slingshot provides the ultimate joy ride experience with its open-air cockpit, side-by-side seating and a one-of-a-kind driving experience that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.”

This is also a good deal for anyone who has been thinking about adding an extra wheel to their motorcycling experience. The [Polaris Slingshot](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/12938/you-can-now-buy-a-new-polaris-slingshot-for-under-20000>) has the open-air freedom that people love about motorcycles, but in a package that’s in some ways more accessible with car-like controls, two side-by-side seats, and no requirement for a motorcycle license in [most states](<https://slingshot.polaris.com/en-us/license-requirements/>).
