Hello,
I was stopped by a cop when I was riding my electric scooter in front of the police station. He was on the other side of the road and he said something about motorized vehicles being illegal but I could barely hear him cause of the traffic. Anyways he said I had to walk it home.
After looking at the laws which are difficult to understand
http://www.rilin.state.ri.us/Statutes/TITLE31/31-3/31-3-2.2.HTM
It doesn't really say anything about electric scooters so how are they illegal it just talks about electric bicycles/ gas vehicles. It says electric bicycles dont have to be registered.
Now that this happened its gonna force me to try to get my motorized bike registered as a moped, but I think ill need insurance for it which is gonna suck.
edit: Somewhere in the Statutes it says a motorized bicycle must be registered? Maybe it can be classified as a motorized bicycle and not a moped? I will call the DMV later.
