to bad a MOTORIZED BICYCLE is not a moped now if you would post a link to the laws pertaining to motorized bicycles in new jersey you might be helpfulCan't prove its not illegal, per se.
It IS legal.. BUT...
According to Law..
Operators must carry a valid driver license, registration certificate and insurance identification card while driving a MOPED. Failure to do so can result in a fine up to $50.
So if you have it registered, insured and have a license... It's perfectly legal.
Without it registered, etc... It's an unregistered moped and you're an un-insured (and if without a license, an unlicensed) driver.

A ticket can be issued to moped operators if they are traveling faster than 25 mph in a 30 mph speed zone.Motorized tricycles are not legal in New Jersey and cannot beoperated on public roadways.
According to the NJ definition I think it could be argued that one of the kit engine built up bikes we see on here, and elsewhere, is not a moped or a motorized bicycle as they have defined them.Sorry, but a "motorized bicycle" IS a moped according to NJ law..
Typically our kit engine built up bikes feature a 66cc engine that has more than 1.5 hp and is capable of exceeding 25mph. Plain as day that's 3 key features that miss the mark of the definition as it's written.In New Jersey, a motorized bicycle, or MOPED, is defined by law as a
