laws for motorized bicycles in Mexico

[jimmyglitter]

Hi there:
Does anyone know the laws in regards to using a motorized bicycle in Mexico? I thought it would be great to fly down with a ht engine kit and put it on a bicycle when I get there. Would it have to be registered?

not sure where you are from ?

it would be nice to have one of those Calif motorized bicycle plates
they like Calif -- to them it = MONEY

I live very close to Mexico
it's all about money down there
if stopped by one of their corrupt pooolice officers
EXPECT TO PAY SOMETHING directly to them on the spot
this is always better than to let them take you in to jail -- cost more
that's what Mexico is all about these days

NOT TO FORGET
over 800 killed in Tijauna this year
there is a BIG drug war fight going on down there
kidnapping of Americans is VERY HIGH ON THEIR LIST
doubt that you will make it through -- without being robbed

MMan just about nailed it.

I've spent A LOT of time in MX, lived there for 8 years once, years ago.

The first time you'll get robbed is when some customs agent impounds the engine.

yes HV so sad but so true
sorry to say -- it has even gotten much, much worse down there in just the
last few years. Some of those wanted for drug charges have brothers
holding HIGH government positions.
Mexico is a big mess -- an American would not wish to get caught up
in anyTHING down there at this time -- our consulate in Mexico is
powerless at this time...
