i have been trying to get everything figured out for street legal Mbiking at Nj and here's what i got so far. it should work fine.
1.) Motorized Bicycles (Mopeds) according to NJ laws.
A motorized bicycle (moped) is a pedal bicycle having a helper motor. Mopeds must be titled, registered, and insured in New Jersey―just like motorcycles. The title fee is $20, and the registration fee is $15.
One difference between mopeds and motorcycles, however, is that mopeds are exempt from the inspection requirements. To qualify as a moped and skip the inspections, a vehicle must meet the following conditions:
It must be a pedal bicycle.
The motor must be less than 50 CCs.
It must have no more than 1.5 brake horsepower.
Its maximum speed can't be greater than 25 mph on a flat surface.
here's the link where ig ot this info from: http://www.dmv.org/nj-new-jersey/motorcycle-registration.php
(make sure the bike you purchase has VIN. the good thing about NJ, unlike NY is that you dont have to have all the lights, horns and other stuff but it is always good to have them.)
2.) i have the serial number so i am gonna register my bike with national bike registry with the transferable coverage. link:http://www.nationalbikeregistry.com/
3.) i have to get insurance now. i am not sure if i have to get bicycle insurance or moped insurance. the latter would be hard to get.
4.) last thing (which i should have mentioned first) would be to get a moped license at NJ.
*feel free to add your thoughts and comments about what i think should be able to work.*this is just my rough outline which should help us MBers out at NJ to help us ride free of tension.
