Default Gas Bikes OK in OK...Except of Turnpikes

1) Gas bikes are the legal equivalent of bicycles. 47 O.S. § 12-701

2) Bicyclists and gas bikers are drivers of vehicles that operate in traffic on public roadways. 47 O.S. § 11-1202

3) Motorists must allow three feet when passing gas bikes. 47 O.S. § 11-1208

4) Lane-splitting prohibited. 47 O.S. § 11-1103

5) Government may not arbitrarily prohibit gas bikes from any roadway. 47 O.S. § 11-313

6) Gas bikes prohibited on turnpikes. 47 O.S. § 11-1401

As of 1 April 2009, there are no insurance, training, or registration requirements for bicyclists or gas bikers. But, there is a grassroots effort to include three bike-related questions on the drivers' exam, to test for knowledge of ODM § 11-2. Contact Karen Gentry: kgentry@dps.state.ok.us

In the 2009 52nd Oklahoma State Legislative Session, HB1795 would allow bicyclists, motorcyclists, and gas bikers to blow red lights, under legally allowable conditions. If passed, the law will be effective 1 November 2009.

Interesting to say the least, however not cool to link to the other group. The evil empire has nothing good to say about our little Chinese motors.
