Its very likely the police would have you for lunch if you rode an MB on the pavement/sidewalk - legal or otherwise... its pedestrian for a reason - and most people dont expect what is effectively a baby motorcycle coming at them at a fair portion of local lightspeed...
Other than that I havent had any problems up until recently and I think that was possibly just an excuse to check me out

. Goddess knows what they must have thought lol
Mostly cops will leave you alone if you ride sensibly - half of the time they probably wont even notice unless you show off in front of them... but I have to admit to knowing nothing about ohio laws re MB's I just use common sense and am careful..
