Moving to AZ with no license...

[KCvale]

I don't know about Kingman, but here in the Phoenix Metro area we don't get screwed with unless you are riding like a dick.

48cc 19MPH is the law.

Most every cop I have seen don't care about your engine size or even your speed so long as you are 'not a danger to yourself or others'.

Stay off the sidewalks, ride in the right direction of traffic on the right of the road if possible (otherwise take the whole lane, that's legal), and though not required, wear a helmet and eye protection.

AZ is the kind of state that let's you carry a concealed pistol with a Silencer without a permit, they have better things to do than dink with MB rules so long as you don't stand out with stupid riding, and actually quite friendly to us.

I guess it was ~5 years ago and I was going 35MPH on a 40MPH road on the right and cop car with two cops pulled beside me.
I smiled and nodded to them and both smiled back and moved on past.

I don't know what your bike is, but it never hurts to put a 48cc engine sticker on it.
As far as my stickers go, everything is 48cc ;-}

I have been trying for a few years to get those rules relaxed, I have a petition on my web site for that...

But I can't even get 1 of my State district reps to even reply to my e-mails about this.
From what I read and know, you can't s**t done without a bribe.

Hope that helps, and welcome to AZ, you will become an official Zonie once you have spent a year here ;-}

100% my point till the end of time, you don't be a dick, and neither will the cops. I think in fact that most cops, who are regular real life people, would think it's probably impressive you can build a bike from the ground up, and get it hauling ass at 35mph on a flat, and not have it blow up 10 inches from your crotch.

Funny how I notice that states with lax gun laws are also pretty darn relaxed about motorized bicycles... PA is one of the easiest states to go about owning a gin in, in fact open carry is legal no permits needed, and we have no issues with bikes apparently.

We are pretty lax about getting potholes fixed too, it's only a problem if it swallows small children, even then if they can get out with adult help it's usually left until next year. Blame it on all the sinkholes, we are apparently conditioned to holes big enough to consume buildings, so the small ones aren't a bother.

Could be that motorized bikes are so environmentally friendly, I mean I don't think even a prius gets the milage I do to a gallon.

Go Pennsylvania! Guns! Motorized bicycles! Sinkholes, and state owned liquor stores! Wtf! Yay!

Are they Gonna let me truely ride an MB on the streets of a town such as Kingman AZ where I'm about to move to?

The laws in Arizona are from strict, but in Phoenix they have very strict smog laws, so you might get pulled over for riding a 2 stroke in Phoenix, but no where else
