Hello, I don't know you personally, tho I'm told your name is Roland. Sorry to meet you this way, I am Mike from Simpsonmotorbikes.com.
I've been building, and selling Motor Bicycles for a bit over 8 years now, here in the State Capitol, and today again from out of state I get this challenge of the laws that I have to represent daily?
Read California Motorcycle Handbook:
http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/dl655/dl665mcycle.pdf
Read California License Plate Law:
CA Department of Motor Vehicles- Special License Plates
Read California Reg. 230 the license plate request document located on the Moped Plate from link above.
http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/reg/reg230.pdf
Understand, that even tho the Grand and Glorious State of California does NOT remove superceeded language from it's books, it only honors AND enforces current legislation IF they happen to know what it is.
Please in the name of all things holy, all you out of state people stop trying to confuse California riders with whatever ideas you may have, UNLESS you are current with your knowledge of California Law.
Your first quote is ELECTRIC only, are we talking electric?
Your second quote is from 1975, we have had a plethera of laws passed since then, please refer to what I said about NOT removing "dead" legislation, and Laws.
Your Final quote is ELECTRIC only, also.
Please, by all means correct me if I'm wrong, but you sell chinese 2-stroke of the "china-fire" type, in-frame 2-stroke 48 to so-called 80cc's right?
You have used all electric, and outdated laws to support your position, please reconsider.
Do let me know what you are thinking, after you read the current laws I have posted.
Thanks,
Mike
