Re: AZ MAB Registration
Dont ask me why but reading that got me really confused. That means my brain is Fried and I do have a couple questions.
So If my MAB meets all the requirements of moped and I get a serial # from the MVD I am alloud to go the speed limit as long as my bike can obtain the Limit?
Does the drivers licence have to be a class M or can It be a normal one? I wonder how much moped insurnace will cost?
I would definatly do all this if I was able to MOB the streets WOT and not get hassled by the Porkers.
That would be so awesome.
EDIT: What is a Bill of Scale??

Re: AZ MAB Registration
I am confused myself Tcams. I believe what it means is that you can only do 25mph, but if the minimum posted speed is 30mph and your bike will not do 30 you cannot ride on the road or street. I have never seen any road/street with a minimum speed limit posted. I do know our Interstates have a minimum HP or engine size posted I believe.
For a moped you only need a D class drivers license (Normal Drivers License) Anything 50cc and above you need a M endorsement (Motorcycle License)
In the past two weeks I have had many phone calls, emails and going down to the DMV and every time I am more confused then ever.
To past inspection for a moped you will need a mirror, speedometer,horn, head light, tail light and brake light. I have everything except a brake light, but I did see a cordless tail/brake light at JJ Bicycles on Stone for like $30.

Re: AZ MAB Registration
"A moped cannot be ridden on public roadways w/posted minimum speeds if the moped cannot attain the minimum posted speed"
This to me is saying if the speed limit is 35mph and my bike is registered as a moped and what not I am alloud to go 35mph becuase my bike can obtain the speed limit.
Im prolly wrong tho. my brain Hurts.

Re: AZ MAB Registration
I am hearing more and more MAB riders bikes being confiscated for no proof of ownership by Tucson Police department. It's there way of hitting below the belt and getting us MAB riders off the street.
I just wanted to pass on that I have registered my bikes at National Bike Registry - Prevent Theft: Register your bike in the NBR Database!
They will send you a Certificate of Registration and a tamper-resistant NBR label to identify your bike.
# $10 will cover a bike for 10 years.
# $25 will cover a bike for 30 years.
$25 Family Registration will cover up to 5 bikes at a single address. Each bike is registered for 10 years.
You can even register scooters as well.
The Tucson Police Department and the University of Arizona uses the National Bicycle Registry National Bike Registry - Police Members
So that tells me that registering your Bike with them should be sufficient proof of ownership.

Re: AZ MAB Registration
Yes it is a sticker for your bike. I just registered all my bikes the other day so I have not received the certificates yet. But they said 3-4 weeks you should receive it.
For $10, it is not a bad ideal for everyone to do. I am gonna carry my certificate for my bike whenever I ride so the TPD can't say I am not the owner and impound it. Plus, if it ever gets stolen, I might just have a better chance of getting it back.

Re: AZ MAB Registration
A customer of mine Tony had his bike impounded for no proof of ownership. It was the Black & Green Huffy I built for him. Two members here I believe and one was warned for no proof. And many customers of UsaFreedom have had there bikes impounded for no proof of ownership. Talk to Ed he will tell you all about it.
I believe Tony got his bike out of impound, he was smart enough to save the bill of sale I gave him. I am waiting to hear from him if he got it out and how much it cost him.
I have also contacted the TPD to ask them what proof of ownership they are asking for, so far my emails go unanswered and when I call they say they will have someone contact me.. no one has called me back.
