In other words a Motor Vehicle TITLE issued by a motor vehicle dept...You cannot register a bicycle in any form in NM...same with a title and bicycles cannot obtain motor vehicle insurance.
This quote says it all.
and this quote.
And therefore need to be referred to as bicycles...I also ran this by a Judge in the 12th district court here who said i was correct in legal interpretation...DAMIEN
Ps...most recent amendment in law to include this wording was in 2017.

Anton I filled out your chart by using the reply then going into that. I also added the automatic transmission clause. Many state laws superficially state no manual shifting or manual clutching.
This is why I made a bike that shifted gears automatically. Large people, steep hills and small cc size means you must have gears. Yes I've retired my auto shift bike.
I'm currently building a Schwinn Sidewinder featuring a triple chainring shift kit. Though technically not legal due to manual shifting; according to Tennessee laws. The cops in my city don't care. All they are concerned with is that you obey the traffic laws and stay under 30 mph.

You can think what you like but I am certain that this is a legal term that has nothing to do with the DMV but a term used in the courts of law
I do not want argue American laws with you, This is my opinion take it as it is.
To easy, I've added Tennessee laws and an Auto Transmission column. You can also click the "edit" button just below the first post and edit / update anything yourself if needed

In my state Tennessee a 15 year old must wear a helmet. Must have a learners permit. Must stay within 7 miles of their residence. Must only be out during the day light hours. A 16 year old with a driver's license is allowed all the privileges as a licensed adult.

title (legislation)
This Cornel University, School of Law link is referring to Federal laws in the US referring to the "Brady Bill" gun control legislation as well as The Civil Rights Act...I fail to see what this referrence has to do with State of New Mexico motor vehicle laws whatsoever so i guess its a good thing that you do not "want to argue American laws" with me then...lol...You are referring to United States Criminal Code 18,...Not State of New Mexico Motor Vehicle Code Chapter 18 Section D and E...lol...DAMIEN
Ps...I did take 2 years of law school at Suffolk University, Commonwealth of Massachusetts until i ran out of money...lol...Its called the "Poor" mans Harvard...lol...It just made me a little poorer during my cop days...Yep...I used to be a cop until i retired from that in 1989, started being one in 1975...(14 years "on the job"),...From 89 to 2010 was an ASE certified master mechanic, then retired fully at that time.

I edited the 15 minimum age in Tennessee to 15 with restrictions. These restrictions are listed in the Tennessee DMV driver's handbook.

The moderator of this site knows when it's been edited so I don't think people have to post every change they make
