MOPED ARMY

it's a scooter.

Motorcycle someplaces, moped in others. Depends on your state's laws

The Ohio Revised Code defines a moped, or motorized bicycle, as any vehicle with two tandem wheels or one front and two rear wheels which is capable of being pedaled and is also equipped with a helper motor. The helper motor may not:

have a piston displacement of more than 50 cubic centimeters

produce more than one brake horsepower

propel the vehicle at a maximum speed greater than 20 mph on a level surface.

MB5 is probably a motorcycle in ohio

What's the deal with MB5's anyway? With all of the 50cc motorcycles out there, what makes these stand out?

motorcycle in michigan

I dunno, maybe I phrased that wrong. I've seen other 50cc motorcycles, but they don't seem to get the love the MB5s get. I have 1.5 Suzuki A50 motorcycles, which could actually come with pedals in some places! Maybe they're too enduro-ey, but I prefer the look rather than MB5s.

No but there is only a handfull of 50s that shift. I think one of the more popular bikes in the past was the mb5 and they still are today. second seems to be maybe an ar80. other than that, not too many mentions on here.

this made my day

I don't know, I saw one today, and chased him down, cool bikes, I would call it a motorcycle.

I was thinking a little more about this when I excitedly told my non moped riding friend I saw an mb5 today. He was like, whats that? I told him its like if a moped and an 80s motorcycle had a kid, and the motorcycle was a good father to it.

MB5 is definitely still a motorcycle TECHNICALLY in CT.

This is solely due to it's HP output. Either way, I ride mine like a moped and if anyone asks it's 49cc... of course it's a moped.
