Summary

Existing law prohibits the operation of a motorized bicycle on a highway unless the owner applies for a license plate and attaches it to the bicycle, as specified. Existing law also requires a specified driver's license or endorsement to operate a motorized bicycle or a moped, except as specified. For purposes of these provisions, existing law defines a "motorized bicycle" or "moped" in one case as any 2-wheeled or 3-wheeled device having fully operative pedals for propulsion by human power, or having no pedals if powered solely by electrical energy, and an automatic transmission and a motor that produces less than 2 gross brake horsepower and is capable of propelling the device at a maximum speed of not more than 30 miles per hour on level ground. This bill would redefine a "motorized bicycle" or "moped" by increasing the maximum gross brake horsepower that its motor produces to less than 4.
