Well a lot of good guesses out there and some are pretty close but no cigar.
Dont know how they did it but mopeds were able to get a paticular sticker that alowed them on public roadways.
You must have this sticker to start the process or it will not be allowed on the street. Even in Michigan.
Any guesses?
The manufacture / dealer must apply for it!
Hummmm ?
You cant apply for it.
Its Federal!!!

Its right next to the to the window sticker on that new car.
You wouldnt need it on an electric vehicle!
Hummmm?
The answer is the EPA sticker for street use and or highway.
They have specific Frame standards as well!
A custom bike has particular guidelines and is stamped with a specific ViN number from the manufacturing company. Only the manufactuer can have the vehicle approved for street use.
If someone had a self built or custom built bike approved then it was done thru a manufacturing company. The manufactuer would be responsible and liable; dont think they would risk thousands and thousands of $$$ and their license(s) so someone could ride on the street.

Nobody will ever get a DB tagged and street legal, the manufacturer did not intend it so the MSO paperwork is outlined in such a way as to prevent using the V.I.N. to actually register one for street use. A Warrior is tall enough and I seriously doubt anyone will ever get one of them registered, there are loopholes and those bumper car guys who mounted em on 4 wheeler chassis enjoyed street legal status until someone noticed and put a halt to it. I applaud the OP's efforts but am afraid they are in vain.:no:
Get one of those minitrail copy bikes, they are street legal. I think they are 120cc now. Go like 50 mph. Look to be a little bigger than the original. With the gears it would do fine around town. White knuckle it on the highway, get a long hair whig and wear a peace sign helmet. Now your getting it done.
In Virginia if it has two wheels, <50cc engine, and top speed is under 35mph it's classified as a moped and is legal on the street with no registration, or license, etc. You have to be over 16 and wear a helmet. The city of Virginia Beach even has a guidance document that specifically discusses gas powered "mopeds", "pocket bikes", and "mini choppers". All legal on the street without a license. I've read the state regulations, and can see no reason a traditional style minibike would be any different accept for the size of the engine. That said, has anybody ever tried to mount a 50cc engine to a minibike frame? Preferably one with a torqe converter of some sort. Might make a sweet, street legal (in VA) mini.
Amusingly enough, I can't tell you how many "scooters" I've seen on the main roads with no plates, no helmet on the rider, and going way over 35. I suspect the rules are interpreted very loosly, and the cops don't really want to deal with it.

ut:Actually in Minnesota you have to have an electric motor or 50cc or less gas engine and neither can exceed 2 brake HP so that rules out DBs, and you also cannot exceed 30mph on one. These are scooter and motorized bicycle rules, both of which are legal on the street. DBs are categorized as off road vehicles, more likely than not they would impound the minibike if they caught you riding it on the street even if you kept it under 15mph.
