Chapter 4-30 Moped's Moped Registration Definition: A moped is defined as either a pedal bicycle with a helper motor or a non-pedal bicycle with a motor, which has all of the following characteristics: * Have a cylinder capacity of no more than 50 cubic centimeters * Have an automatic transmission * Be capable of a maximum speed of no more than 30 mph * Comply with all applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards If the maximum speed of the motorized bicycle/moped is greater than 30 miles per hour but less than 40 mph and it is certified to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards as a motorcycle, it may qualify for a Limited Use Motorcycle. If a motorized bicycle/moped no longer has a restrictor plate (a mechanical part that limits the speed of a motorized bicycle/moped), the vehicle will be re-classified as a motorcycle. In this case, the customer must register, title and insure the motor vehicle as a motorcycle and obtain a motorcycle license. Any customer who registers a motorcycle as a motorized bicycle/moped may be guilty of operating an unregistered, uninsured, uninspected, and untitled motor vehicle and the motorcycle may be towed and stored at the customer's expense. 03/18 4:203
