I called DMV directly & asked them what was needed legally to ride a 'motorized bicycle' ( I was still a littl confused but I wanted to make sure on all the stuff that I've read) this is what I got
-need M2 license
-some models do not need registration
-may or may not need insurance.
nice how the last two are really not that clear......
he also mentioned that the motorized bicycle really limits you as to where you can ride.........as far as I know where ever you can ride a bicycle you can ride a motorized bike - except bicycle trails. but I don't care much about those when I have a motor!!
also you would have to bring your motorized bike in for the M2 riding test.
I'm going to call some insurance companies in CA to see what they say about insurance. I'll post more soon
just trying to get this all figured out as I dont really want any trouble down the road - literally lol.
