I would suggest, finding a lawyer well versed in Moped / Bicycle laws.

Also remember that when they state anything about a "Motorized Bicycle" they mean something with Electric. So unless you have something that states Gas or Moped, it's not applicable to your ride.

There is still some confusion about titling and registration of Bicycles with Gas Motors on them, like I suggested, find a lawyer.

Thanks Guys

That Florida copper passed a meth lab and a dead prostitute just to get to me.

I see lots of pictures of all you's cool bikes, and golly geeze willikers I do not see any moped tags on them.......My mama says I hang with a rough crowd.

I am thinking to add an electric wheel so my HT just to get things more interesting.

Also a cold fusion power source.

Keep them legs peddling and the thumb on kill .

Why don't you just go to the HSMV, try to get it registered and if/when they tell you no, then have them print that out and then carry THAT with you?

But I would talk to a Lawyer still. Also, call the Sherrif's department for your county, ask to talk to the person in charge of registering Bicycles. (Or if they say they don't, ask them who you would talk to about registering your bicycle, whether it's your local police or not.) Do NOT talk about the gas motor until you get to talk to SOMEONE who's the person in charge of bicycles, once you DO get to that person, tell them that you have a small gas motor on your bicycle and ask them what to do. What would be better is to actually GO to either/both of the Sherrif's and/or Local police building and physically talk to the person whom you've found out is in charge of bicycle registration...

Remember, as long as you are just pedaling the bicycle and are not using the motor, it's totally legal to ride.
