Most advantageous motor assisted bicycle license?

4 folks like me, trolling 4 EZ, nationally recognized licensing, wouldn't the $19 Cal license plate B the best 2 acquire? Least lights, no bill of sale, no insurance requirement (as I recall - feel free 2 correct me), good forever and ever. I would also think that it would be the most "respectable" in other states. And, my son is a home owning Google software engineer, so I could use his hoity toity Pacific Heights address.

IM guessing that many motor assisted bicycle owners R either retired or, like me, R working 12/7 for weeks, and then get many weeks off. So, when we wander and camp, we want an motor assisted bicycle 4 day trips that won't get ticketed/impounded.

Your thoughts?

Thx 16v4nrbgr. But FI was in, say, New Mexico 4 2 weeks in a campground, what's the difference between the Missouri plates on my truck and the Cal plates on my motor assisted bicycle. "IM just borrowing the (legally permitted) motor assisted bicycle from my son". Haven't researched NM laws, so this might B a poor example, but U get the point.

I DO get your good point about my home state. Plate off here - not required.

We could certainly pass 4 that old couple ourselves.... I understand your thoughtful reference 2 OHV requirements and thank U4 it. But we don't want 2 ride on any designated bike paths, OHV paths, or any roads not legal 4 our truck. Just public camp roads and maybe the country roads 2 the nearest town.
Our Bikee E2/Gx35 tandem recumbent is NOT a moped and never will B. But it IS a legal motor assisted bicycle (small enough motor, auto trans, under 20 m/h, front and rear lights) in many places. I just want 2 use it legally in as many states, and in as many parts of those states, as we legally can.
That's why IM asking folks 4 their experiences - their must B some.

Thx scotto, good advice, and bears repeating. Assume U have the $19 tag - is that right?

Lived in Santa Maria many years (helipad 4 the offshore platforms), and it and many other central coast communities had motor assisted bicycles and nice streets and common sense law enforcement. Also the Cal Poly SLO area, where my son took his Comp. Sci. lessons.
