Ah, OK. That makes sense. The registration from what I remember stated that my bike can't exceed 4 HP, have a top speed of 30 mph and pedals to qualify as a motorized bike/moped. I still would need an M1 OR M2 license which I'm working on getting anyway, but insurance isn't required. DMV website lies about the HP requirement stating it's 2 HP or less but on the form it states less than 4 HP which is good because it allows for a little more flexibility when choosing a better engine.
