Hello, everyone. I'm Carlyn, 28 years old. Living in Western Massachusetts. I stumbled upon this forum looking for motorized bikes for sale, as I'd like a form of transportation to get around town and to and from work that someone with little to no experience with vehicles could use / learn to use! I'll be poking my head around some threads, but in the meantime hoping to meet some cool people, learn some things, and hopefully get advice. I'm thinking I should ask first what are manufacturers I should look into and ones to stay away from? I would ideally like to purchase a built item to be delivered to me, something with fat tires that I might be able to also use in winter. I hope everyone is having a good day and a happy new year!

We have legal issues pop up on here all of the time. Some states are very motorized bicycle friendly while others aren't. Here's another common thing that happens. A state might be strict with their laws but the local police don't enforce them as long as you obey the traffic laws. However in that same strict state just go to another city and those local police will treat you like one of the worst criminals ever.
So look up your state statutes before investigating time and money. My state Tennessee statute is 55-8-101(35)

I recommend building it yourself. That way you know how to take care of it.
My fav vendor's are CDH and Bgf. They have never ripped me off or let me down in all the years I've been doing this. CDH does the gasbike frames too. So take a gander at those sweet frames. You might like having the tank built right in.
