I live in Missouri and got pulled over and got a ticket last night for operating a motorized bicycle without a valid licence. BUT.... according to Missouri's RSMo section 307.180 The definition if a motorized bicycle is this....
"The term "motorized bicycle" shall mean any two or three wheeled device having an automatic transmission and a motor with a cyl. Displacement of not more than 50 CC which produces less than 3 gross brake HP."
Now,.... automatic transmission...what on a MB is concidered a automatic transmission. Can I fight the ticket because of this wording? Anyone come across this issue? I want to continue riding my MB but if I can't my licence is gone for 10 years.I really would find a way to win this technacality. PLEASE HELP AND INPUT.
