Sorry MB. What I'm asking is whether or not these large get togethers are having a positive affect on the communitys nearby. I know that most people as they see me riding like what they see. What I don't know is what there reaction would be if they saw 10 or 20 or 100 at the same time. For me, my reaction would be not the same.
now that wouled be coo seel 100 motorized byicies driving though ontairo canada or anywhere really i wonder what it wouled sound like
Would sound like a buncha whining babies in comparison to 100 Harley's, or any other for that matter, of your larger variety of beasts.
I was told that you have register these things as a custom moped and then u have to have your license and insurance.
This from the Canadian Government site.
If your moped was made before September 1st 1988. After that they had a plate saying it was a limited speed motorcycle from the factory. LSM/MVL plate.
This what it will look like.
Electric or gas powered.
Maximum speed of 70 km/h.
Automatic transmission.
Has a step through design.
Maximum engine displacement of 50cc or less.
If it doesn't meet these standards it is not a moped. I would think you have to prove it's a pre Sept 1 1988 moped by showing them the makers plate on the moped.

Fasteddie,
As a Minnesotan planning on attending the rally this June, I'm wondering if I should bring my bike of choice or a ratty one I would miss less if it is confiscated by the police (constables or whatever you call them there). Are our bikes in jeopardy in Ontario this summer? Would I have trouble getting through customs? My bike is no moped, but a 1939 Elgin step through. Kinda looks like an antique moped. I'd hate to lose it. What do you think?

Ya that's what i was told at the DMV place in MN. And 49cc and less are cheaper and a moped lic. 49cc and up is motorcycle lic. So i took all the badges off of motor and now it's a 49cc grubee all blacked out.... But the cops haven't said any thing yet =)
Lazieboy,
What part of Minnesota? Are you planning to attend the Ontario rally? Ever get up to the Ely area? S did you have to get a moped license? I haven't done anything but ride mine. Since I'm an old guy and the only one with a motorized bike around nobody has bothered me... yet... and I'd like to keep it that way. So, I want to be either legal or invisible, but for sure want to ride. Kinda cold lately for riding, eh?

Breckenridge,MN on the ND Border. I've rode back and forth several times ok so far. No lic. ,ins yet in summer. Sorry no rally. Ya I'am the only one around here that has a motorized bicycle. Lot of heads turn gotten compliments, kids really like. good to be different Hey check out my bike progress @http://s1019.photobucket.com/albums/af319/lazieboy1/
Nice old Higgins. I remember seeing that now and thought at the time of it as "the yellow jacket"... has got some sting, that one. Yeah, being the only rider around my neck of the woods makes me especially look forward to the rally in Ontario... meeting some guys I've become familiar with online, talking bikes, riding around and sharing ideas and experiences. It's gonna be fun! If you ever get over to the Ely/Duluth area for fishing, etc. bring your bike and we can have a mini rally.

could these not be considered mopeds? if the proper lights are added and a helmet warn, a G1 class license is all you would need right?Ontario is behind the other provinces with respect to alternative means of transportation and the only way to solve this is to lobby the government and pester your local MPP with pertinent info about the means of transportation you wish to use. This is what the E Bike community did to get E Bikes on the road legally a few years back.
Some good info to pass on to your local MPP up there in Thunder Bay might be that if a 12 year old can ride a bicycle with a 50cc or less gas motor attached in Alberta why the heck can't adults in Ontario do the same!
Ontario sometimes is like an over protective babysitter that makes you sit on the coach till your parents get home just so nothing bad will happen to you
Just a thought.
Thats right motorboys, i got my kit from motorboys might i add not only do i ride my bike by guelph police station everyday on the way to work. But i also see a couple cruisers and a supervisor or two and havent been stopped. Now i also have the bike as legal as can be eg, front light, rear light, bell and brain bucket. Then again the bike is loud and flashy with the chrome expantion can and my homemade Ram Air but it is legal there is no laws for what we've done and no classifacation or insurance for a bicycle, then theres the motor vehicle fight, well a car is a class wich we know has a motor and is a motor vehicle a bicycle does not have a motor vehicle class and is not and wont be a motor vehicle it is a bike, a motor assisted bike, no ownership no insurance no licence so thiz means police/MTO can give you "no trouble" as long as you go out of you way to make the bike as legal in a bicycle way as possible, also a motor assisted bicycle with the motor running may not exceed 50kph
And if you have a motor running on your bike your helmet must be DOT aproved
