yes you may be charged as i was but in theory i was not commiting a criminal act in operating my bike all they can do is keep fining me but i will never pay the fine and there is not much they can do to collect these fines other than sending it to collections they can not renew someones drivers licence but in my case i let my license expire years ago and i have no intention in getting another one
Laws? Canada

no steve i am not going to waste my time in going to court at least for now anyways i will just not pay the fine and see what happens
I'm with you, i will help if i can. If you set kit up properly, keep good parts & maintain properly, these bikes are a cheap safe fuel efficient means of transportation. Like every other vehicle, these bikes need a compotent sober driver. A safety check, $100 insurance,moped licence, helmet lets ride. I'm with you, how can i help
Maybe we could work together instead of taking jabs at new less experienced members ? Power in #s. There must be lots of ways of getting our points across to the goverment. lets get some ideas together.
Well now, after talking with some cops in Calgary, they told me that there is NO laws about gas bikes. That is the problem. I've been riding for two years, sometimes side by side with a crusier, at 45-50 kph. Always wear a DOT helmet and ride with respect. If you feel nervous when you see a cop, kill the engine and peddle until the cop is gone.
Killing your engine will only work with police that havent seen you yet. If you simply kill your engine most police will know to feel the engine for heat..... Its the same as kids would say when they used to illegally ride their motocross bikes on the street. Never worked.............. pleading ignorance of the laws would be a better attempt at getting away with riding, because you are likely to just make the polieman angry if you lie about why your engine is hot to touch.
