Can a legit Super pocket bike be made street legal in PA if it has a 110 cc motor and safety specifications?

Question

If the bike has headlights, high beams and low beams and turn signals and a horn it should be able to be registered as a LSV low speed vehicle.

it can be registered for street use in many states. Most of our customers who have wanted to register these bikes for street use have been able to do so. You may need to add a license plate holder and/or rear-view mirrors, or other minor modifications. These items are inexpensive, can be found at most local scooter or motorcycle shops, and are easily attached via simple modifications.

All vehicle(s) come with a factory standard Certificate of Origin (Manufacturer Statement of Origin/MSO) which may be used for registration. We also include an official MSO for registration, with no extra charge for this service.


^^From what the site says ..the bigger super bike that i am getting, not to be confused with the smaller 50 cc models should be able to be street legal.

These are the rules in Florida...but i am in PA hopefully it is the same.

0. Have a motorcycle licence ( for a 110cc it is classified as a motorcycle)- you could try to say to say its 50cc then you dont need one but the certificate will probably say its 110cc.. You will not be required to bring the bike in to the DMV or ever do a riding test for anyone.
1. Headlights, taillights, sideview mirrors, signals, licence plate holder
2. Helmet- if you plan on not buying insurance ( you will defenetally not want to pay the price of the bike each month just on insurance r u nuts!!)
If you dont use helmet, you must have insurance. Cops can pull u over if you ride on streets where there will defenetally be cops, local neihborhood driving you can do without helmet with no cops near.)
3. Bring your factory standard Certificate of Origin (Manufacturer Statement of Origin/MSO) it is the important paperwork the bike comes with
4. Bring your ID
5. Bring $ it will cost $30.00 to put a Licence plate on it which includes the years stickers ( you will have to pay extra each year for new stickers)
6. Bring another $29.75 to get the bike registered
7, Bring some more money of 7% extra of the original purchase price. ( so if bike was bought for $500.00 you will have to pay extra $35.00 at the DMV.)

FOLLOWING THESE STEPS WILL GUARANTEE YOU TO LEGALLY RIDE ON ANY of the X series Mid Bikes( with minor modifications) on PUBLIC ROAD ( except highway)

so a total of about at least $100.00 of registration fees, not including your modification fees is all thats required to ride the bike legally.


BTW: it may sound like im answering my own question but im not about to drop 700 bucks on a super bike and not be able to ride it.

thanks.

Answer 1

My question back to you is Does it meet the minimum height for vehicle to be used on the road? Chances are it does not. Most every pocket bike I have ever seen is only about 20" tall which means that it is about 8" too short to meet minimum height for almost every state with any type of standards for vehicles on the road. Truthfully-do you really want to take a chance on being run over by some Explorer at 35 or 45 mph? I know I do not.

Depends on local laws. In the state of Arizona, they are illegal on streets, and are meant for off-road only. I would imagine that would apply to just about every other state. If you are looking to buy, ask the retailer the local laws regarding the use of pocket bike on surface streets. If all else fails, a local motorcycle shop has the answer.
