Bike engines legal in Australia

Do we think it is acceptable to market 50 cc two stroke jap , as being legal in Australia where any thing more than 200 wats is illegal.

Hi oylavabeer, Wow that really sounds restrictive, I know there are quite a few guys on this site from Aust, I never read anything like that about the requirements being so conservative, 200 watts is pretty weak. Here they sell electric bikes that have 700 watts, in new york city where traffic is incredible and dangerous they have a electric bike shop in a very good area of Manhattan and I've read the dealer is not so nice and his service the same. But they do use them on the crowded streets of the city and this shop is doing well, because their is no registration required or insurance you don't even have to have a drivers license.

200 watts is just under 1/3HP...restrictive to say the least!!!

Here in Florida engine powered bikes can be registered as mopeds.

I intend on registering my Spoilers just to eliminate any hassles from the cops on Clearwater Beach.

Have you checked to see if there is a legal way to register a bike with more power? It may only cost a few bucks and then you're done with the problem.
