Hello I'm MehMan and well I don't own a is it MB? yet but I'm REALLY looking into it, but I'm unsure about Ohio laws and how MB stand with them. So if anyone, ANYONE could give me a hand and tell me if I could put a motor on my bike and drive it that would be great. (I've read one thing some where and another thing some where else and my head hurts) so just a yes, no answer would be nice.
now for my MB I'm going to be using my bike (not even a year old owned) which is a 10 speed as for my motor I found a 50cc 4 stroke motor online which looks really good. Now I'm added everything up and I'm looking at about $300-$340. (the motor is on sale cool huh? and free shipping  ) I have all my ducks in a row I just now need to know about how Ohio stands with MB's
also glad to be here! |

You can build a good thatsdax or other kit for 120 shipped....
In Ohio, we have the usual problems with the BMV not knowing what to tell people and giving different answers.
The bottom line is they ARE NOT legal to ride in Ohio, unless you buy the "approved moped" model from Wildfire.
Having said that I will say this- I have ridden a couple thousand miles on Ohio state, county, township ans city roads with no problems. The police usually don't even notice.

well as long as it a "helper motor" not bigger then 50cc (from what i've read) it's fine and no no the kit is only $140 (also free shipping) by "added things up" I ment EVERYTHING i would need (turn lights, brake lights, head lights, mirror, helmet) |

thanks! also just to be save I'm going to call the BMV and ask (better safe then sorry) from what I've read I've meet everything they ask for a moped or MB. I've also talked to 2 others guys here in the chat and they said I would be fine. |

When they ask you for a serial number, use the one from the bicycle frame.
