I could not find anything about Motorized Bicycles or assisted Bicycles for Alabama. I could also not find what they consider a moped. Most DMV web site's will have something about Moped's, assisted bicycle's, or Motorized bicycle.

The only thing I could find was "Other Vehicle's" This includes scooter's and moped's.

Alabama Other Types of Motorcycles - AL Scooter & Moped Info - DMV.ORG

You might want to check with your local law inforcement, call, stop by, e-mail, they may be better off telling you then DMV.

I hope this was some help

I called the Dept. of Public Safety in Alabama. After bulding my bike I wanted to be legal. Talked to a State Trooper. Motorized bicycles are considered to be motor driven cycles which have to be registered in Alabama, to be street legal. You well have to get your bike inspected by a State Trooper for safety, then try to get it titled just like a motorcycle for a tag, and then get insurance for it. Not really worth the hassle.

I guess it depends on what part of Alabama your in. The local paper did an article on us and they interviewed the city police. The police stated that as long as we wore helmets and practiced safety along with following the rules of the road, everything was A OK! It was considered a bicycle. Kind of confusing, huh?

I'm in Sylacauga. Just down 280 from you. There are a few others in my area. I don't know them, but I see them sometimes in passing. The Daily Home newspaper did an article this past summer about it.

We need to try to get some more people
together in this area for a ride.
I'm just getting started in this

I'm ready when you are! I have made contact with toker. I think he is around Anniston. My mother, of all people, got us in touch. I think you will find this hobby VERY!!!! addictive. I don't know what it is, but I'm hooked. I've been into it for a couple of years.
