This was on their FAQ Q- What is meant by street legal; and is this bike street legal? A- Street legal defines a vehicle that is legally allowed to travel on the streets. This motorized bicycle kit is street legal in all states. Some states require license and registration for a factory made moped, but a customized bicycle is considered pedal assist by federal law. ---

Tires and brakes do not and can not meet D.O.T. Spec., let alone the headlights taillight and turnsignal. Thus uninsurable, unregisterable, uninspectable. If you are talking about not registering it, that is illegal in refrence to what JayS posted in the #7 post. ---

Will do. Can’t wait for it to come in! hopefully I use it as much as I’m hoping. Shit, less than 1000 miles and it has already paid for itself plus the mountain bike. Anyone want to buy a 2000 YZF-R1? lol ---

I rocked one all last summer when gas was through the roof. Except mine sported a robin-subaru engine mounted on the rear with a drive roller. Mine went 32mph and got a steady 230mpg. I took it from E. Aurora to Alleghany state park and back and had a blast! BED owns mine now. How much is this kit and whats the trq rating?
