In my state, a moped is defined as:
I've been reading up on the Sram 2 speed automatic hub, and found little information on their use on motorized bikes. A couple threads here and there, but it seems like nobody has ever used one successfully.
Upon further investigation, it seems that they shift way too early. Somewhere around 10 mph. I did find a tutorial on how to adjust it to around 15 mph, but I think it would be better around 20 or 25 on a MB. Here's the review:

So it looks like he bent the springs to make it engage faster. I was considering if I got one of these I could drill them out some?
But wait. Do you think it would even hold up against an engine? Seems very doable with a jackshaft, and it also looks very desirable since the police here seem pretty interested in me and my creations. A lot. And I'm not looking to make it faster, I just hate cruising at 9000 rpm.
So, it can shift, but it has to be automatic.a cycle with pedals to permit propulsion by human power or without pedals and with a motor of not more than fifty cubic centimeters which produces not to exceed two brake horsepower and which is not capable of propelling the vehicle at a speed in excess of thirty miles an hour on level ground. If an internal combustion engine is used, the moped must have a power drive system that functions directly or automatically without clutching or shifting by the operator after the drive system is engaged."
