Just be careful and don't run stop signs and stop lights or your gonna get asked for a D/L
I got stopped for running a stop sign. The Cop gave me a ticket for running a stop sign on a Bicycle $175 The ticket didn't go on my driving record.
2 other times I was pulled over by the Cops just because they wanted to look at my Whizzer M/B. All the Cops are cool where I live too
From what I read it don't matter if it's a 49cc Oregon calls it a Moped and ya gotta have a D/L
If it's 50cc or over it's still a Moped but ya gotta have a M/C license
Both need insurance too

Though no cop has bothered you yet, it doesn't mean in the future one won't. As it is now you're playing Russian Roulette every time you ride. Eventually, everybody's luck runs out.
I personally would start saving up the money to invest in an electric build. You're on just the right forum for learning how to do an electric build.

E-bikes are popping up all over Portland these days.(Illustration: Mark Young/Portland Storyboard) Whether you like them or not, electric bikes have arrived and it looks like they're here to stay. E-bikes can now be found in almost every local bike shop, major manufacturers are adding e-assist to
I'm on a fixed income so I know about tight money. I've got a license but can't afford insurance and a gas bill. My state Tennessee doesn't require insurance or registration.Yea your right Pickle's commute to work is 20 miles so an E Bike is good legal transportation for him.

E bikes are expensive so that's probably why he rides a M/B
