We might ask that question because the highway troopers all said we could ride these engine assisted bicycles and none of them gave us any problems these guys were cool. When we were stopeed the trooper just wanted to get a better look at the bikes. The highway patrol should be up on the laws better than city police I would think.

We in Texas who might try and go the moped route are limited to in town riding and only allowed on streets with a posted 35mph speed limit or less. That knocks riding it out of town and can't go where a bicycle can go. No trips out of town or on county roads. A bicycle can go on the county roads but if you strap on an engine your screwed that the way I see it. I'm going to ride my Harley instead.
Or ride my outlaw bicycle in the street and take my chances.
