Do we need insurance. I know we need the m2, lights, and regestration, but insurance seems impossible to get. Thanks
simple question about California laws

No, you don't need insurance and can't get it anyway.
You could get insurance on a Whizzer.
Never really heard of no insurance being problem if you have all
the other stuff covered.
like mbr said above, the simple answer is no.
one cop i got to know in newport beach (he used to like pulling me over all the time) thought we needed insurance. by the next time i ran into him, we both had researched it and couldn't find anything on the books that said we needed it.
that cop teaches all the other cops the laws on "low speed vehicles," (golf carts, mopeds, us, etc...) and said he'd pasd the word that we don't need it.
for kicks, i found a company that insured whizzers, and they said they could do it. it wasn't cheap, though. i passed.
if you ever get stopped and the cop says you need it, politely tell him it's not required. they usually don't know the laws anyway. if it ends up in court, tell them to show you where iy says we need it.

Bring that 4 stroke out to the Grange race on sat Oct 20th.
On the track you don't need a licence and we provide the insurance.
Just gotta wear some safety gear.
Thanks guys! just one more thing. To register a bike in CA are standard bicycle brakes good enough? thanks!
What brakes you have on your bike is not even an issue
with getting a plate.
The DMV doesn't inspect your bike.
Where do you think that you get your brakes inspected?
It is highly recommended to install the best front brake if you
value your life and limbs.
Oh. I honestly that they inspected the bikes, but its kinda great to know that they don't. Haha Thanks a ton!
