Pulled over in Los Angeles

To anyone..with the new hp increase in Cali.. does that mean I can ran the 79 cc pred rated at 3hp. and not have to run 49 cc???

There never was any mention of 49 cc or 50cc or any amount of cc
in California motorized bike CVC codes.

The old law simply said 2 HP or less.

The new law says 4 HP or less.

In real life on the streets since 2008 I never heard of anyone getting a ticket for having over 2 HP which the 66 cc China girls would be about 2 1/2 HP.

I once got stopped with 2 other bikes which were 5 HP Briggs and the Huntington Beach motor cop did not bring it up.

He did want to see DOT helmets, M2 or M1 drivers license, the license plate and a red rear reflector.

Only one of the Briggs riders got a ticket for no DOT helmet because the cop cut him a break for not having an M class license that would have caused him employment problems.

All three of us could have been ticketed for something, like no license plate for me and non DOT helmet for the other Briggs rider.
