What size is the engine? It may (legally) be a bicycle - like a moped.

I think that there is some limit on displacement and or top speed under which these things are not considered motor vehicles.

And to top it all off the exhaust from these things are terrible.

Saw these just after lunch, busted out a camera and forwarded pictures over to campus police and parking enforcement. (there are special motorcycle tags required to park on campus) It's especially dumb if you consider that the official motorcycle (and moped) parking is on-street next to the building these are parked by.

I get buzzed by one of those at least once a day while riding. It's one thing to use our bike racks but when they start using our bike lanes that really gets annoying.

I can't tell if they are coming in the bike lane behind me or in the traffic next to me so it's always a surprise pass by these guys. And to top it all off the exhaust from these things are terrible.
