Okay so I passed my 3rd cop today (a local boy), and again he went right passed me and even waved a friendly “hello”. Now of course as soon as I saw him I kit my kill switch and pulled in the clutch and pretended to pedal. I have read the PA laws concerning bicycles with engines. They need to be automatic, 49cc or below, and are classified as a moped, but you don’t need them to be inspected. One also must have a moped plate, have it registered, and have INSUREANCE!
So it is legal with the right motor and documentation… I unfortunately have a NT Chinese engine that has the manual clutch, so might be buggered any way, but if there is no inspection how will anyone even know?
Now I have been riding for about 2 months and I’m getting tired of watching for the fuzz. I have looked through our forums here and although people have talked about it, I don’t think any one has anyone done this legally in Pa? I KNOW the electrics are fine with the federal law; I want to limit this thread to laws about us using Gas IN Pennslyvania. If anyone has, with any type of gas engine could you tell us how?
If not I guess I will just keep fake pedaling…
