They didn't want to cite me, they wanted to buy one! They asked all of the typical first questions and both had big smiles on their faces. I was expecting the worst but was told by them that as long as it was under 50cc, they think it's legal. As far as I know they are mistaken but I could be wrong. I am so happy with my MB
Yea, the LAPD is wrong as usual....along with all the halfwits at the DMV
but what else would you expect from government drones?
The California law says absolutely nothing about 50 cc
What it says is 2 HP.....
Were you wearing a helmet?
DOT?
Bicycle?
Did they ask you for your license?
You need an M2 endorsement.
Do you have the moped plate on your bike?
LAPD are OK, I never had any problem with them and I lived
very close to the infamous Rampart Station in Echo Park.
Treat them with respect and be friendly.
They are way too busy with mayhem that they usually don't mess
with the small stuff unless you are a fool.
People getting shot over not too much was a regular event in Echo
Park and there are some very rough areas in Venice too.
Glendale and Burbank Police are a different story and will bust you
over nothing.
