Disguising Engines. Any Ideas

camplo · #1 03-19-2009, 01:48 PM

Anything that has an engine and 2 or more wheel is a motor vehicle of some kind.
These bikes fall under moped which would mean that I'd have to get it registered and get a moped license. If I could have any license I would have a car or motorcycle. But I can't. Cause of many many suspensions. So now I have this engine coming after this new revelation and am trying to sell it unless I can convince myself that I won't have any trouble from the law. I mean my God I cant get another driving on suspended ticket via fricken motorized pedal bike. So ridiculous!

So anyone seen some cool ideas besides painting to help hide the power plant!

So far it seems the the engines are less obvious when installed on cruiser styled bikes....

what he said.....

Then again you might try going e-bike with a hub motor that looks like a drum brake on the front. Then the battery pack in some container like one of those white post office mailing boxes tied on a luggage rack. That would probably fool them, but in some places enough driving without a license and you get a new address and a new roommate name Bubba. Not to mention that your date for the prom might be rather interesting.

Anything with an engine and two or more wheels is considered some type of vehicle that needs to registered. Thats how it is here in Michigan.

in MI, maybe it does need to be registered. but if thats all, then no big deal. registration, yes. DL? have you checked?
here in RI, they have to be registered, but no DL or insurance. check your laws.
i havent registered any of my personal bikes and i ride them everywhere. past cops and all.
i will not "stop breaking the law." i choose what MB laws i feel are worth upholding or breaking.

Well If I were to take a chance I would go with A rear E/hub and small batteries on a rear rack with saddle bags. Then I would always peddle along with it so as not to draw HEAT...POPS

Spunout for Transportation Minister - a Jackboot to the nervous Nellie's and naysayers.

How about mounting the engine over the rear wheel on a rack. I Don't think it's been done with your engine but it sure has with every other engine ever made.
put a milk crate over it and your done.
