Re: I think Florida will be the proving ground for gas MBs

I feel ya fully Fulltimer.

Of course I would have to add third, middle half : I don't want people riding around who will jeopardize the current and/or future protection of motorized bicycles - which tears me ever more so back and forth between the two halves.
we can agree on this.

About VINS, dont bite my head off here. Aren't they federally regulated? Certain digit for manufacturer, engine etc. So how can a VIN apply to a bicycle? I know all VINs have to be 17 digits..................

California issues real license plates for Motorized Bicycles
and Mopeds. The plates are a $19 one time fee.

Motorized Bicycles enter whatever serial # is on the bicycle
and an engine # even though the form says VIN #

You can see the form here.

Re: I think Florida will be the proving ground for gas MBs

i am pretty sure that is what's going on. the office of Rep Matt Gaetz told me that the bill is being constructed now and the changes are going to the house to be approved and then sent to Gov Scott for signature in to law. What I did on my end is I sent an email to Gov Scott's office requesting the bill be passed into law to allow for the gas powered bicycles. What I ask of everyone on here from Florida is to do the same thing. The more people that write him showing interest in having the gas powered bicycles might help our cause. Here is the link to contact him.
Florida Governor Rick Scott - Email the Governor
This is how we lobby to make this happen, by contacting the law makers directly and voicing our concern. Let's make this happen. It will take everyone on here less time to write and send this email then it would to get your kids into bed at night. Also find your local district rep and email them. here is the list of reps in the state.
Florida House of Representatives - Representatives
if you know where their office is located, take time to go over and talk with them on the issue. These are the things I have been doing for the last couple of months and it seems to be working. The time couldn't be more right for all of us to contact them, when they are constructing the bill. Remeber one thing!! There are only 120 Reps in the state of Florida and there is almost 19 million people that live and work in Florida. We out number them so our voice will be louder in numbers if we act now. With the day and age of computers this will be the fastest way to get our voice heard by the law makers. I do hope you all join me in the pursuit.

Which bill? Every bill (even addendums to bills) have a bill# or other such identifier...
If you could tell us SPECIFICALLY, which bill you're speaking of, it would help TREMENDOUSLY!!!

It does not get a number untill it is introduced. Aparantly it has not been introduced if it has not been constructed (or written) yet.
