If you're going to use a combustible engine then you'll need to lookup Florida's moped laws. Then build what is considered a moped there in Florida.

I looked up the Arizona law for MB and was pleasantly surprised at how lenient they are.


Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:

Section 1. Title 28, chapter 7, article 15, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended by adding section 28-2516, to read:

28-2516. Motorized electric or gas powered bicycles or tricycles; definition

A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this title:

1. A certificate of title is not required for a motorized electric or gas powered bicycle or tricycle.

2. Registration is not required for a motorized electric or gas powered bicycle or tricycle.

3. Vehicle license tax is not imposed on a motorized electric or gas powered bicycle or tricycle.

4. A motorized electric or gas powered bicycle or tricycle is exempt from the provisions of section 28-964 relating to required equipment on motorcycles and motor-driven cycles and from the provisions of title 49, chapter 3, article 5 relating to vehicle emissions inspections.

5. A driver license is not required to operate a motorized electric or gas powered bicycle or tricycle.

6. A motorized electric or gas powered bicycle or tricycle may use rights-of-way designated for the exclusive use of bicycles.

7. A motorized electric or gas powered bicycle or tricycle is not subject to chapter 9 of this title.

For the purposes of this section, "motorized electric or gas powered bicycle or tricycle" means a bicycle or tricycle that is equipped with a helper motor that has a maximum piston displacement of forty-eight cubic centimeters or less, that may also be self-propelled and that is operated at speeds of less than twenty miles per hour.END_STATUTE

I see we thought you were located in Florida and just did not want you to wast your money on something you could not ride.
But looks like your are in Arizona and there laws are just like Texas.
Most states does consider any Motorized Bicycle 50 CC and higher as a motorcycle and you must have a license, insurance , and so on.
But most cops would not know a 49CC from a 66/80 CC , so if you do get stop and you have a 50CC or higher engine play it safe and tell them it is a 49CC, that should save you any headaches, and keep the law dogs off your tail.

Enjoy your new build and don't forget to post pictures we love new builds.
