I've been google searching for the most recent laws concerning a motorized bicycle here, yet all I can find is either really fuzzy laws or stuff that only pertains to getting a tag. So... if anyone knows it'd be awesome, I'll continue to look around and see what I can find. In all honesty I'm tempted to just make the bike look as legit as possible, and if I happen to get stopped by the police I'll just play dumb lol.
Laws in Mississippi?

What are requirements for a motorized bicycle or scooter to be registered?
A motorized bicycle manufactured 1980 and following must have a seventeen (17) digit VIN conforming to the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration requirements. There must be a decal or plate attached with a statement that the motorized bicycle meets the Federal Safety Standards. If the motorized bicycle does not meet these requirements, it is considered a “toy vehicle.” A toy vehicle may not be titled or registered in Mississippi and may not be operated on public roadways within this state.

I have been riding motorized bikes here in Mississippi about two years and haven't had any problems. I do not remember where I found the law but it basically said 50 cc and some speed limit. I think i went to msgov.org and did a search. If you don't make too much noise and ride sensibly the cops won't bother you. Even the park rangers on the Natchez Trace do not bother me.
That's even better to hear! I was kinda thinking the same thing, just keep quiet and don't attract attention to myself. Thanks for the info my friend
Although when I lived in Mississippi, I'd do the same... But that wasn't your question.
