On April 7th, the Governor signed HB 65 which is a good thing as it identifies Autocycle.
Here is a link to the signed document: http://www.nmlegis.gov/Sessions/15%20Regular/final/HB0065.pdf
Let me copy and paste my favorite parts... So you don't have to read the whole thing.
"MOTORCYCLE ENDORSEMENT NOT REQUIRED FOR AUTOCYCLE OPERATION.--Autocycles shall be registered as motorcycles and proof of financial responsibility may characterize them as motorcycles, but a driver shall not be required to have a motorcycle endorsement to operate an Autocycle."
"autocycle" means a three-wheeled motorcycle on which the driver and all passengers ride in a completely enclosed, tandem seating area, that is equipped with:
(1) federal motor vehicle safety standard 571.205 glazing;
(2) a roll cage;
(3) safety belts for all occupants;
(4) airbag protection;
(5) antilock brakes;
(6) a steering wheel; and
(7) pedals;
I was going to copy the section on Helmets but decided it was useless reading because of this gem:
C. Autocycles are exempted from the helmet provisions of this section.
