you would have to research your state DMV website to see if any atvs are allowed. i know in some states you have to do a few things to them to make them legal, some rural states you do not have to do a thing but ride.

If you replace the whole swingarm and axle with a single rear wheel you can make it into a 3-wheeled motorcycle that you can ride it in all 50 states. Or you buy a motorcycle.

Here is your answer:

NO, it is not legal to operate an ATV on the highways of New York State.

New york State Consolidated Law

S 2403. Operation of ATVs; where permitted. 1. Highways. No person
shall operate an ATV on a highway except as provided herein. (a) An ATV may make a direct crossing on a highway other than an
interstate highway or a controlled access highway, provided:
(i) the crossing is made at an angle of approximately ninety degrees
to the direction of the highway and at a place where no obstruction
prevents a quick and safe crossing;
(ii) the vehicle is brought to a complete stop before crossing the
shoulder or main travelled way of the highway;
(iii) the driver yields the right-of-way to all oncoming traffic that
constitutes an immediate hazard;
(iv) in crossing a divided highway, the crossing is made only at an
intersection of the highway with another public street or highway, and
(v) if the crossing is made between the hours of one-half hour after
sunset to one-half hour before sunrise or in conditions of reduced visi-
bility, only if both front and rear lights are lighted.
(b) An ATV may be operated on any highway which has been designated
and posted as open for travel by ATVs in accordance with the provisions
of section twenty-four hundred five of this article. 2. Public lands other than highways. No person shall operate an ATV on
any public lands, waters and property other than a highway, except that
an ATV may be operated on any such lands which have been designated and
posted for travel by ATVs in accordance with the provisions of section
twenty-four hundred five of this article.
3. Private property. No person shall operate an ATV on the private
property of another without the consent of the owner or lessee thereof.
