Hey, do you know if your bike is street legal in CA? From what i have been reading, pretty much most 2 strokes dont meet the air resource board requirments.

i don't know.. its a gray area... is it a motorized bicycle? or a bike with motor on it? or a moped?
but either way 2 weeks ago i used the DMV link from venicemotorbikes.com, sent it in along with my check... and guess what? i just got my plate and registration in the mail yesterday... it doesn't need sticker or renewal. kinda cool.

Its my understanding that anything under 4 horse power, with an automatic transmisson and unable to exceed 30mph is a motorized bicycle, requiring a one time fee that comes with a plate, no license required. Break any of those 3 requirements and you are now riding a moped and must have an M2 license and the vehicle must be registered.

I know here in CA though most 2 strokes arnt street legal because of emissions.

So I rub my neck...
and I write 'em a check...
and they go their merry way.
