Chapter 3. Can My Vehicle Be Registered? 2. Limited Use Vehicles (LUV): A Limited Use Vehicle is any vehicle that: * has 2 or more wheels * has a certificate of origin * has a 17 character VIN * has been certified by the manufacturer to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) for that particular class of vehicle (i.e. passenger, motorcycle, truck, etc.), AND * whose speed on a paved level surface can exceed 30 miles per hour but is not capable of exceeding 40 miles per hour. In most instances the maximum speed of the vehicle will NOT be on the Certificate of Origin. It will be up to the dealer, insurance agent, and the customer to ensure that the vehicle is property registered. A vehicle that previously could not be registered as a motorcycle under state law because its operator and the passenger rode within an " enclosed cab, " but is certified by its manufacturer as a motorcycle with NHTSA, can be registered as a limited use motorcycle or a regular motorcycle depending on the speed. An example of this would be the Zap Xebra. If the two or three -wheeled vehicle has a maximum speed greater than 30 mph and has not been certified by the manufacturer as a motorcycle or motor-driven cycle with NHTSA, it cannot be registered as a " Moped " or a Limited Use Vehicle and cannot be legally operated on the roads of the Commonwealth.
