Is it a quadricycle? A go-kart? My point being that I wanna build one with a bigger electric motor, and I wanna research the legal stuff first. From what I can tell, the stock one can be driven on the sidewalk, doesn't have to be registered (no insurance or license plate), and the company says 8+ year olds can drive. I wanted to build an electric bike, and I checked the laws, and here they are as follows:
» CLASS 1: Bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance when the e-bike reaches 20 mph.
» CLASS 2: Bicycle equipped with a throttle-actuated motor, that ceases to provide assistance when the e-bike reaches 20 mph.
» CLASS 3: Bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance when the e-bike reaches 28 mph.
» E-bikes and e-bike riders would not be subject to the provisions of the code relating to financial responsibility, vehicle insurance, driver’s licenses, vehicle registration, or certificates of title.
» Helmets would be required for riders of Class 3 e-bikes.
» Persons under 15 years of age would not be able to ride a Class 3 e-bike, unless as a passenger.
» All e-bike manufacturers must apply a standard label to each e-bike specifying its type and wattage.
» Any tampering or modification of the motor would require replacement of the standard label.
» The definitions of motorcycle, motor-driven cycle and motor vehicle would exclude that of an electric assisted bicycle.
What are the laws surrounding the dune buggy? What are the maximum watts? Top speed? Any age restrictions? etc. Thanks!
What about I get one of these, and basically make it a mini electric dragster? Put some pizza cutters on the front and add an electric motor on the back...
