Default Northern wisconsin

Hello all:
I am from northern wisconsin and am thinking about getting a motor assisted bike kit. I just called the DMV and they seemed confused on the rules of operation for an assisted motorized bicycle.
The lady said she would transfer me to the state patrol. I did not get through. Anyone out their from Wisconsin? If there is could someone explain the rules of this. Such as drivers license, insurance etc.

Thanks

Welcome to the Forum. In Florida these are considered "Motor Assisted Bicycles". I think it is pretty much a gray area.
