Ok after my brother got stopped and after I got done talking to the DMV and various police depts I have come to this conclusion.
There is no real legislation on the issue of motorized bicycles and eventually they(the government will regulate it)
So my suggestion is this, why don't we as a group adopt what we want as regulation for it before the politicians do it for us?
We can come up with a rough draft and mail it to our representatives and hopefully get something done in our favor rather then they turn it into a joke?
So for a draft here's what I figured so far
First the bicycle frame should be clear of any police reports of it being stolen, this means having the police dept check the serial numbers. We want to do this as many of us will use used bicycles to motorized and they the state will want reciepts for the frames or have some way to show that the frame is legit.
Second , must have a way of showing the cc's of a motor in the form of a receipts from the vendor or licensed mechanic verifying the engine size.
If you guys can think of anything else lets hear it.
