I like what you said madtown mick.

all the state laws vary so much, that simply cannot be accepted as a definition of a moped.

now, I have owned many 1970’s MOPEDS: pedals, automatic, goes about 25 mph. including batavus, garelli, puch, safari, and motobee.

I have also managed to successfully register a 2004 jailing np50gl top tank version as a moped in new jersey.

this bike has a 4 speed manual clutch transmission. it goes about 50mph stock. it is not a moped. (I recently put a 140cc lifan engine in the frame, and it is STILL registered as a moped).

now I don’t mean to make the point that this is a moped, it is most definetely not.

The terms used on these vehicles are loose terms, and lets keep it that way. without those lose ends, I’d never know what an MB5 is.
