Lightbulb Re: Scooter & Moped class Laws in 48 states

Here's a quicky on the Pa rules:

"Motorized pedalcycle." A motor-driven cycle equipped with
operable pedals, a motor rated no more than 1.5 brake
horsepower, a cylinder capacity not exceeding 50 cubic
centimeters, an automatic transmission, and a maximum design
speed of no more than 25 miles per hour or an electric motor-
driven cycle equipped with operable pedals and an automatic
transmission powered by an electric battery or battery pack-
powered electric motor with a maximum design speed of no more
than 25 miles per hour.

Just a heads up. 50 cubic centimeters is 3.051187205 Cubic inches. That the size of a 1/25th or there about Cox engine on a modeler plane or car. Even the smalliest 2-stroke is what, Ten times the size of that at the bare minimum. Cubic, pointing out the depth also, not the surface area.

??? I don't understand this post. What's ten times the size of what at the bare minimun of what? Who'se pointing out the the depth(do you mean stroke) I've never heard of any restrictons on stroke or bore either.
Speaking of the difference in cylinder size. Where 50cm = 3.051187205 Cubic inches is some what equal to a Cox engine. And yet the smallest 2-cycle is about 10 times larger in cylinder size, than a Cox engine. The point of Volume is what Cubic refers to. I havn't heard of it refered to this way either. Just those points in CC's or Horsepower. Nor the point of braking power. Besides, if my brakes won't stop me, time to buy new calipers, pads or discs! I have an adverse reaction to not being able to stop when I need to, LoL!

Funny how they changed all the links just before they pulled the rug off from under us in New York state. They are easy to refind them. But when they pullo the rug from under people through means unapproved by their own by-laws. That is the extent the go to to cover their tracks. Well tomarrow is Monday, and I will be digging back to the point of what legislators brought this about.
