This is the e-mail I sent him:
Greetings:
I just finished building a homemade motorized bicycle. I used a kit that purchased online. The motor is 49cc and advertised at 1.5hp and the bicycle still functions solely as a bicycle if you choose. I have been told that because this is still a bicycle, I do not need a registration/license plate to operate this on public streets. That just doesn't seem correct to me. Furthermore, I would be willing to pay a modest registration fee in exchange for my peace of mind. Please tell me what I need to do to make this 100% legal.
Thank you for your time.
So the question to ask in the next email is...
"Now that my bicycle has a gas engine on it... Does that mean I won't be allowed to ride it on the road? Technically, it is a vehicle and as I looomed in the Florida statutes, there is nothing written that says I can't ride it on the road, if there is, please let me know what it is, because I could not find it anywhere. I did find that the law states that the description of my vehicle (in terms of the SUTC is that of a moped (in terms of drivers licensing)
Can you point out the statute that states that it is not allowed on public roads?
I would appreciate any and all help you could provide in this matter.
Thank you,
Sincerly Yours,
