Introduction
A special mobility vehicle (SMV) is a 3-wheeled vehicle that a person can operate from their wheelchair, such as a Nippi.
If you have an SMV or a Nippi that can travel faster than 10km/h, you must register it as a 3-wheeled motorcycle.

- proof of your entitlement to register the vehicle such as a receipt or a notice of disposal
- compulsory third party (CTP) insurance, sometimes called a green slip
- an Authorised Unregistered Vehicle Inspection Scheme (AUVIS) certificate, sometimes called a blue slip.

More information
- You do not need to register any type of motorised wheelchair or specially constructed conveyance if they do not travel faster than 10km/h.
