I just got interested in building a motorized bike. I will not be able to obtain a driver's license for another 3 and a half months since I must wait 9 months after I get my permit. The laws for motorized bikes confuse me and I'd like to get everything straightened out.
So here is what I got so far. (Wanting to ride a bike without license, registration, or insurance)
1. Can't be more than 1 horsepower or 49cc.
2. Can't exceed more than 20 miles.
3. Must ride on the street and not the sidewalk
4. Must be at least 16 years old.
Questions I have.
Can you pedal your motorized bike on the sidewalk while the engine is not on ?
Do you need a license to operate a 49cc motorized bike ?
If asked upon must you provide proof that you are at least 16 years old ?
Do you need a light on your bike ? ( I am pretty sure you need a reflector )
If there is anything I am missing feel free to let me know.
