I looked this up for my area actually and it varies state by state.
A bicycle or “low speed vehicle” does not need insurance and can be in the road as long as it does not exceed 20 miles per hour. This is pretty common across the US. For this reason a lot of manufactures will limit the motors ability to go faster that 18 or 19 miles an hour. It gets even more weird when there are whole companies that design the low speed vehicle to have peddles and make it look like a ninja motorcycle.
Here is an example of what I was looking at buying:
Fuck Live PD. That show is absolute trash and exploits people for entertainment on the worst days of their lives. With shit like this the tagline should be “Guilty Until Proven Innocent”.
* Have **pedals** for manual propulsion by the rider (unless it is powered by an electric motor.)
* Have an **automatic transmission**.
* Have a motor that produces less than **2 brake horsepower.**
* Be unable to propel itself more than **30 MPH** on level ground, including with assisted pedaling.
Motorized bicycles of type CVC **§**406(a) also require special license plates and identification cards
we call em DUI-cycles, since they are the only thing habitual offenders who have lost their licenses can use to get around. im not sure if they’re 100% street legal, but the cops dont seem to care so long as they stay off the highway and out of traffic.
49cc or less is street legal without an endorsement in SOME States. Key part “Some States” if they didn’t run they may have been completed fine and actually had grounds file a legal complaint. But once you start running or acting like a ass, you’re kind of shit out of luck.
In my country these are legal but do require insurance and if you turned 15 after october 1st 2009 than you need to get a drivers license for them (Max speed has to be limited to 25km/h if made after 2003 or 30km/h if made before 2003) you also need to make sure the motor is limited to 1kwh and can not go over that.
Reminder that “Live PD” and “COPS” are basically just propaganda tools for cops. They’re also accused of coercing people to sign their release forms telling them that they’ll get lighter sentences if they do.
The cop seemed like a nice guy and his patience is likely due in large part to being filmed but the when she started saying “please don’t take my bike it’s all I have” I couldn’t help but feel bad for her.
This show is one of my guilty pleasures. I just found it a couple of weeks ago. It can have some boring parts but seeing this stuff live is just great.
I have no life Friday or Saturday nights most of the time.
So…. are the bikes legal in Oklahoma?
Mental illness is a terrible thing.

She had to dump the drugs somehow.
The way he says “Please stop……… Okay we’re in pursuit” kills me
This looks far to scripted.
The way the cop is like give me a break when she takes off is hilarious
He took her bike. Liar.
Oh look, a vid showing a cop in a positive light. Must be the opposite of that lurking around here somewhere.
Funny thing is, she’s actually right about the bike.
A motorized bicycle like that is, atleast in Oklahoma, considered a Moped for all driving laws if…
– It has pedals and a motor and can be propelled by either.
– It is an automatic
– Motor is at max a 50cc
– Cant get above 30mph under its own power.
If it meets those conditions then it is considered a Moped. It still has to be registered and tagged though.

Poor Andi
I just love his tone.
“Come on, Andy – don’t do this. Stop Andy.”
Its like Andy’s his drunk roommate and he’s sick of dealing with her bullshit.
If people weren’t such A-Holes,
There wouldn’t be a need for police.
He even kinda sounds like Officer Dangle.
Which is why you go electric. AFAIK that’s legal with no registration/license unless it’s got some crazy high power level.
She sounds like the Mama Fratelli from The Goonies

we can’t be positive that’s not Kerri Kenney under that face blur

If you were the other guy on the bike and the cop left like that would you be able to leave too?
I mean I probably would anyways but still

A dirt bike? That thing? Looks loike a bicycle with a lawn mower engine on it…
Kinda sad tbh 🙁
I wish she asked him which statute says she **can’t** ride it on the street…
She sounded like chunk from the goonies

That was really funny until it was really sad
This one too

“They’re the same as a dirtbike… or something like that.”
Bad cop, no donut.
Oh geese, I don’t think I have laughed this hard in a long time.
Revenue enforcement.
Got that “Throw Mama From The Train” vibe
He clearly dealt with her before. He’s had enough and wishes she’d get help.
“Earlier in Oklahoma”
Those 16oz aluminum bud light bottles actually wouldnt make a bad fuel tank for a bike like that.
The dude was holding, she baited the cop so he could get away. You all have been fooled.
What a god damned roller coaster.
exasperated sigh
This cop is a professional. I couldn’t even do this without laughing so hard I’d lose track of her.
