Mine is the right size (49.4 ccs), but our law also refers to a designed top speed not to exceed 25 mph....I wouldn't say it was designed to go faster than that.

I will be when mine's done. In Oregon, the max size without registration as a moped is 35.01cc. I'm installing a 31cc Yardman motor on my cruiser but would love a frame mounted ride. I would have a hard time with my conscience if I rode an unmarked 49cc or with stamping "33cc" on the side or some such. I would rather go through the process of encouraging the legislature to reconsider the federal constraints in lieu of economy, ecology, and the environment.
Who knows... maybe it will change?

"What exactly does the CC stand for, officer?"

I am very conscience driven, but my 80cc is whatever it needs to be to not have to pay a stupid tax when there shouldn't be one.

I wear helmet at all times on the bike
Engine is PK80. On occasion I am slower than a muscle power cyclist
Some people call me AL. I use my leg to pedal. I think that makes me Legal (Leg AL).
It is just like radar detector. You can own it but you cannot use it in some states/provinces. You have a gun you can use it for recreation and not on human. You have a powerful engine, and you only use it for power assist. Very legal.

LOL Thats funny!!
I received these today and think it may bring more heat than it's worth.
I received a PLATE. Cops like those. A curious cop may pull me over
to have a "look" at my paperwork.
35cc Licenced as a motored bicycle and a MOPED.
I have had NO issues running without a plate.
But with this big ol plate on back, the cops will feel leverage.

I'm not going to install it.
My reg info is fine, if you guys are gonna stalk me all you will
get is a bunny with a pancake on it's head! LOL.

Legal?
Funny thing, in my state, area , locale I have only seen 2 other motorized bike in my lifetime. But every freeway on-ramp has a sign warning off pedestrians and Motorized bikes. Those signs have been there for 30 years at least.
Of course I looked up the legalities of a motorized bike before my first buy;
" No more that 50cc and no more that 15mph". On the mph caveat I'm riding rebel of course. It's classified as a bicycle/moped DOT wise. One only needs a car driver license like with a 50c or below scooter. No blinkers/ lights or plates.
I feel very lucky. At the same time I do feel the frustration and angst of those motor bicyclists who get caught up for leaving a cleaner and more slender footprint on the road. Like a motorized bike is a danger to anyone else but the rider.
Not to digress too much but we could be running on hydrogen now. Every vehicle, large and small. No pollution. Purified water leaves the tailpipe.
The U.S, federal govt. has been blocking this technology at every turn for years. Bedfellows with the global oil system. But somehow back in WW2 we had no problem utilizing the wispy hydrogen to it's most unimaginable violent extent. After that hydrogen proved to be way to wimpy for use in devices of unimaginable violent extent
The feds are pushing ethanol. Quickly we can already see the local, regonal and global effects of putting food resource in the gas tank.

It took lots of time and thought on a homebuilt electrical system... but yeah, finally legal.
