Rehashing this.

i am a bit miffed I found a PDF of what I assume was a newer version of the HB. I can't find it now. My phone was destroyed and that is where I had my copy.

anyway in this new variation of the law the beginning started out stating that a motorized bicycle of 48cc or less shall not be defined as a vehicle.


it was a direct PDF download but I can't find it. Anyone else able to find this version. It looked a lot more friendly and consistent. Looked like it said cities couldn't change the intent of the law so much.
This is the only one I know about http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/47leg/2r/bills/hb2796h.pdf

So Has anybody tried to get one of the larger engine builds regestered as a MOPED? Just found this in the revised statutes: 28-2513. Mopeds
Notwithstanding any other provision of this title:
1. A certificate of title is not required for a moped that is registered pursuant to this chapter.
2. A number permanently affixed to the frame of the moped identifies the moped for registration purposes.
3. The director shall adopt necessary rules to provide for any tag, decal, plate or other device in lieu of a license plate otherwise required pursuant to this chapter to be attached to a moped to indicate that the moped is properly registered.
4. The license tax imposed by article IX, section 11, Constitution of Arizona, is four dollars fifty cents for each moped registered each year.
5. A moped is exempt from the provisions of section 28-964 relating to required equipment on motorcycles and motor-driven cycles and from the provisions of title 49, chapter 3, article 5 relating to vehicle emissions inspections.
6. The motor vehicle fee for registration or reregistration of a moped is five dollars. All other fees applicable to motor vehicles also apply to a moped.
7. Any class of driver license is valid for operating a moped. :::: Might save me some hassel when riding the Pope or my upcoming 100cc Flying Merkle build.
8. A moped is restricted from rights-of-way designated for exclusive use by bicycles.

The DMV over here won't register a moped unless it is 50cc or less with a maximum of 25mph and is insured. Anything above 50cc they consider it a motorcycle.
