New York no longer requires a motorcycle license to drive an Arcimoto. The language was changed from steering wheel to mechanism, allowing the Arcimoto to slide in under the new autocycle rules.
From Assembly Woman Donna Lupardo: “It makes it clear that the definition of autocycle includes green electric vehicle models that have a steering mechanism instead of a steering wheel.”
If New York has changed the definition of autocycle to remove steering wheel, then New York now considers the Arcimoto FUV, Deliverator, and Rapid Responder an autocycle - thus helmets are not required either.
