Does any one know the laws for motorized bikes on the roads for NH? Are they illegal or do I have to register it?? I've been riding on the roads and never actually gave it a thought.

Just a quick look says mopeds are legal so I would think a bike would be but i would check with the dept of motor vehicles to see if it has to be registered. I can't find the answer to that in a quick search. try to google it

Thankyou I appreciate it. I did google it and I think i do have to register it. It classifies under a motorcycle do to the fact that its over 50cc's but im sure the cops wont be able to tell.

exactly I wouldn't worry about it go with moped. It's hard to believe some states register them and others don't/ It isn't considered a motor vehicle here it has its own class moped that is.

It only cost 3$ to register it anyways, now if you do register it, does that mean you can ride it on the street?

I would think so for sure... that would be the only purpose of registering it

heck for three bucks I'd register mine lol.... Long as they don't need paperwork for it.

SJCASEY1110 · #9 03-23-2008, 11:28 PM

Yeah what would you show them for paperwork if they asked??

I have nothing ... i bought the bike off craigs list and put the motor on myself I guess it is homemade and you would have to just make a statement to that effect and of course the engine is 48 cc
