Know your laws guys!! The NEW Improved, updated, handy dandy 2010 motorcycle handbook should be carried by ALL Cali mopedders! Today it saved us from having a Bully bike impounded!! As of 2010 the handbook merges Mopeds and Tweaker bikes (motor driven bikes) into one "motorized Bicycle" category. Under this new heading, we still need to have bikes with working pedals, 30mph limit, 2 horsepower, etc... but we DO NOT need insurance, m1, m2, helmet, registration, etc!!! If a cop pulls you over and cites you for any of these things, it is INVALID. Unfortunately, after proving the cop wrong on my no insurance ticket, he still let it stand (asshole) and left me to prove him wrong in court. He did not however impound Daniel's bike, instead making him pedal it away (he would NOT let us call for a Bully pick up truck!!)
If you're in LA and can avoid Santa Monica Blvd. I HIGHLY recommend it. I've now gotten two no horn tickets on that street!!
UPDATE: It appears that the section I'm referring to is just about electric mopeds. The confusing language here is in reality what got us out of the ticket earlier BUT I now know no less that 5 times with 4 different people that this has gotten out of tickets.
