I contacted the Police department I want to make sure I am within the law I do not want to get cited. There is dirt paths I can take wherever I want to go so that is not the end of the world.
So the officer I spoke to I read the New Mexico Motor Vehicle code in regards to the creation I made and how it was relevant. I told him I have no transmission and its a single speed. I also told him the Displacement of the motor and everything else. The funny thing is he has no idea where the legalities are on it , so how can a officer cite somebody on something they have no idea on I presume this is where the grey area comes into play. I need to speak with MVD about it but I know what they are going to tell me or at least I think I do. There is no VIN, No Bill of Sale, No Nothing to make it registrable it does not fall outside the bounds of being a moped as its motorized bicycle but without transmission so for all intents and purposes it is a moped. Due to it not having a transmission it will not fall under requirements to need licensing. Procecution of laws that are not on the books is impossible so I fall into the grey area! I love grey areas they are so greyishly grey
At least thats my understanding so far we will see once I speak with the MVD.
Keep in mind however I am limited to 30mph just like any other moped I must follow all the rules of a moped but I do not have to register it Thats where it is at so far.
