Today I got my required liability insurance ($75) and headed to the MVA to get the newly required sticker for my Motorbike. It appears to me that MB's fit the description of Moped in the law so I plan to comply until I find out otherwise.
I stood in line for a bit and when I got to the information desk and told them why I was there I got a long pause from the receptionist. I told them I had tried to get the sticker online last night and the site was unavailable so I took time off work to do it in person. They informed me that they also are not up and running on this process. October 1 the new law goes into effect. Go figure!

Dan, update please? Any luck getting your decals, I'd suggest telling them that it is a moped as well.
From the Maryland MVA website this what I've found:
Title and/or Decals for Mopeds, Motor Scooters and Off Road Vehicles
To process a title or decal you must have a license or ID on file with the MVA, a valid VIN or serial number and PIN or last 4 digits of Social Security Number. If the vehicle is already titled in your name you may purchase a decal only. If the vehicle is previously titled, you will need to go to an Electronic Registration & Titling (ERT) participant to have the title transferred to your name. To see a complete list of ERT participants, please click here. If the vehicle is already titled in your name, you may purchase a decal only.
Check payments require the following information:
Bank Routing Number
Checking Account Number
Maryland Driver’s License Number
Date of Birth
Money Orders and Travelers Checks are not accepted.
Note: Decal and title will be mailed.
Post office will not forward MVA mail. If necessary go to Change of Address before continuing.
If you would like an electronic confirmation of your order, you must enter a valid email address.

I went MVA office today, and was also told they are not ready to issue decals!
