Hey all, anyone from ohio having problems with police about riding. I am in the process of putting my motor on and I am a bit uneasy about getting pulled over. I thought it was going to be just a bicycle with a motor on it. I am not sure if it's against the law or anything. Can't I just kill the engine if I see a cop? As long as Im peddling I should be ok then right? I am confused and now wondering if I should be doing this at all. All these youtube videos I have seen people are riding everywhere and having fun without any problems. Thats all I want!

Rnroutlaw, just try to stick to side roads and make sure you have mirrors to see behind you and scan way ahead.wear a helmet,cops like to see that, If you see a cop just switch off the motor and start pedaling.99.9% of th time the cop wont even look at you, you will get away with this for months and maybe years. If a cop does stop you then see what happens then and dont worry about till it happens. just enjoy your bike.

Hi All, My Biggest Worry Is To Get Ran Over By A Fat Lady In A Cadilac!! Many Years Ago On Candid Camera Or Some Tv Show, This Guy Rode His Bicycle Sitting On The Seat Backwards, He Had Rear View Mirrors On His Glasses. He Rode A Lot, He Was Very Good At It. They Called Him "wrong Way Wooten". That Was Maybe Safer!!

I Asked A Deputy Sheriff If He Bothered The Motorized Bicyles, He Said No, Has Other Things To Do! I Have Done Work For Him And His Father. He Has A Show Quality 55 Chev With Big Block. He Has Another 55 2 Dr Sedan He Started But Is Going To Sell.

Ride like your Mom is sitting on the handle bars. You'll be fine.
