Possibly missing the point.
Many people don't understand that states can make laws more restrictive than the feds but not less restrictive. ie If the feds put a 2hp limit on the bike motor, the state can not say it' ok to to use a 3hp motor on your bike. On the other hand the state can put 1.5 hp limit even though the feds say 2 hp is ok. It's not fair but that's just the way it works. I have seen this happen many times over the years with environmental laws. My Whizzer is being registered as a motorcycle just so I don't have any problems. That being said, my brother lives in Lancaster county Pennsylvania. He runs his motorized 1941 Columbia all over Quarryville without any trouble from the police. If you see what the Amish take up and down the roads it makes sense that the police leave him alone. In fact they followed him over to him place to see all the motorized bikes and goodies he has. My 1943 3-wheel military Cushman lives at his place too. I quess a certain amount of luck plays a big part as to weather or not you will be targeted by the police. Ride safely and have fun.
