My "Overkill" motorized OCC StingRay chopper

I just wanted to share my "Overkill" OCC StingRay chopper (I installed a Tecumseh Power Sports 6.5hp GoKart engine on it, which required serious modification to the remainder of the bike). Besides, in stock form, it's a bit too short anyhow..... Here's a picture of it....

I think OldPete meant pedals for moving the bike, not stopping it.

W/o pedals it is no longer a power assisted "bicycle" and as such falls into a class of vehicles along with mini-bikes and/or motorcycles.
Cute looking lil'chopper none the less but don't come crying when the law comes down on you.

Unfortunately, in Pennsylvania, Fun is illegal. As for the law, it will be someone else's problem next week (since it's up for auction). I built it mostly as an off-road (track) and for show, but now it's taking up much needed space. Eventually, I hope to build a more practical motorized bicycle, one that I can ride legally on the road (again, in Pennsylvania, it's a monumental task to do so, since PA is a "moped-unfriendly" state). In Connecticut, pedals aren't required (since 1996), but as I recall, the "under 50cc / 2hp" requirement still stands (last time I checked).

Yeah, the States do vary but the 50cc/2hp or under seems a constant. The 30mph limit seems so also. CA requiors a M-2 cert on the CA driver's licence but no insurance or yearly registration.

I can not get away with much here in a city of 500k but those of us that live rural...well, you can do as you wish.
