| | Re: Im Going Legal in PA 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! |

| | Re: Im Going Legal in PA 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. |

| | Re: Im Going Legal in PA 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!!
