EDITED.
Here is what a moped is and needs:
50cc or lower engine
Not to exceed 30mph on flat surface
headlight visible for 500 feet or yards
Rear red Reflector or Light
Bell or Audible warning device
Must have a normal Class C drivers license
Must have a registration decal and be registered (valid for 3 years - costs about $5)
If you would like to register your motor bike here is what you need to do.
Download this form and print it out:
http://www.revenue.state.co.us/mv_dir/formspdf/2579.pdf
Fill out the form. Your bike serial number is on your bottom bracket. If you do not have a receipt for your bicycle then contact (303) 205-5600 and ask the Colorado State Motor Vehicle: General Info and ask someone what you need to do to register your bicycle.Have a witness sign that your drivers license info is legit. Date and Sign your name on the form also.
When I called the number I asked what I needed to do. Basically just fill the form out the best you can and include a note about how you added an engine to the bike. I also didn't know what to put in for the year so I put 1990s. Hopefully the form gets approved. I will let you know.
Get a money order or check and mail it into the address. Alternatively if you can find a registered moped dealer they can register the moped for you but I had no luck finding one.
If you purchased the bike as a complete unit consider filling out this in conjunction with the person you purchased it from; http://www.larimer.org/motorv/billofsale.pdf. Get a receipt from the person you purchased it from too.
Get a check or money order for $5.25 and make it payable to the Colorado Department of Revenue. If its through a dealer then the dealers name.
Mail it in to the address provided and wait. I will let you know once I get mine.

do not know of any provisions that separate a motor-assisted bicycle or pedal assisted-bicycle into a different category then a moped. Would Appreciate any local input on there experiences with the law and whatnot.
