Legal in Michigan

[tom-fishing]

Built my motorbike last year and finally decided to go to SOS office to register and apply for a moped sticker. I did this for several reasons 1. Now if I am involved in a accident I won't automatically receive a ticket for operating a unregistered & illegal vehicle. 2. If I do get pulled over my bike doesn't get towed away. 3. Peace of mind.
After all the hassles and problems I've read about I expected this to take at least an hour and quite possibly not be successful. To my pleasant surprise the whole thing took 15 minutes, $74.02 in taxes and fees and I was on my way with sticker in hand.
I'll leave it to others to argue whether it's a bicycle or moped and go to court and risk losing their bike. Tom

This is the kind of information riders need.

cops

The cops in my town do not care about these, because there is a good 20 of these bopeds here and as long as they aren't be dummies on them they are good to go.. personally everytime i see a cop, i pull the clutch in and pretend to ride it like a bike
