Registration requirements depends on your state. In Alabama having an Alabama drivers license exempts you from registration and a special motor driven cycle license required for 14 and 15 year old kids. Most states set the engine displacement limit at 50cc but here in Alabama the limit is 150cc or 5 HP. I never registered it or have liability insurance, which is impossible to get anyway as its not required on motor driven cycles. I was pulled over several times the first 3 months of riding so after the first time I was pulled over I went on-line and copied the parts of the Code of Alabama pertaining to Motor Driven Cycle regulations so any Policeman pulling me over could check his copy of the Code of Alabama preventing his/her writing me tickets and getting embarrassed before the Judge by losing the case and having to pay court costs, which did happen once. I was nice and did not file false arrest warrants on the Policeman as the Judge suggested. A picture of me with my motorbike taken from the police cruiser camera now hangs in every law enforcement office in the state and a warning about the motor driven cycle registration loophole.

Does this kit really get 40 MPH? how far do you usually get on a full tank?
