I want something like fortnines electric motorcycle, the only problems are its to fast for the bike lane and two slow for traffic, and I would need a motorcycle license, however it looks like a good way to get around, at the same time its more eco friendly than the cage

If you have a drivers license, you are automatically allowed to drive a moped, OP
Don't tell me you don't have one??

If you have a DUI, you can strap a chink engine to your bike and tootle fine

I feel your pain, though. My Puch, I never ride, even though she goes around 30-35mph.
She should be legally fast ennough but cagers are cancer. I just ride like I would a bike, center lane and vaugley right around cars.
Some roads I simply can't take her on due to their selfishness

in california, you need a Moto license, and its not worth it to get it for an moped, (why are all the laws here so gay this place would be cool if it wasn't for that) also can't ride it on the streets over that have limits over 30ph, can't ride it on the bike lane. I am getting a kit to put on my bike to make it an E bike, the reason im doing this is for the environment (two stroke engines have some nasty exhaust)

ebike is the way to go in general but especially so in faggy california. I've been riding my DIY ebike for over a year now almost every day, in the street, in bike lanes, on sidewalks, and have never been pulled over.

I think the key is to not ride like a retard and make your bike look like a bike. I really want an enduro type frame paired with a 6000w motor and 19" moto wheels but I fear that I will get way more attention for the moto look. For now my 80's mtb with 26" wheels is incognito enough but 30mph is my max speed on flats and there are 2 steep enough hills in my area that I need to shift down and really pedal to assist the motor.

maybe if I had a Moto license it would be nice to have one and just keep it under 4hp so its a moped and avoid paying motorcycle insurance but then it would be too slow,

yeah Im planing on bending the rules like that im i want a 750 watt but closed bike paths are limited to 500watts for a class 2 at a 20mph limit so im just going to lower my speed on those paths its not like polezi will know if unless they pull me over and check the serial number. I like how the classic moped frame look

Here's a pic of mine, locked in my parents garage.
Can't really leave their Hooterville and be safe with it when it comes to cunts speeding, and I can't take it here for fear oen I was still living with them as a childhood dream fulfilled, but I was homeless shortly after and never got to ride her a whole bunh

Now it's for when I visit them and get drunk

I mean, the problem is that the roads are just fine. My parents live off 25mph roads mostly, the problem is that everyone wants to go about 40mph on them and will bully you out.
Like people don't know how to react to mopeds.
I waiting to turn right and as soon as I was gonna do it, here comes a fucking pickup to also turn right and he's gonna do it AROUND me
Oh sure, they can take the 65mph roads, but no, fuck me, right.

This is the freedom offered in America

stastically when something like a motorcycle or bicycle has to mix and mingle with traffic its aways more dangerous, if we had a parallel net work of road for these types of vehicles , people would feel
safer use would increase, cagers only got to were they were by getting gibs in the form of roads designed for them if we got gibs like that small vehicles would come into there own

That's what they think, man.
I've been waiting at a red light on my bicycle, and have a car wiggle its way ahead of me, past the stop line, because he feared being behind a cyclist for a fraction of a second at the light turn. (And I wasn't even center lane, lol)

The moped is a slow vehicle but not slow enough to overtake easily.
Modern cagers are not accustomed to deal with slower vehicles in general. Especially on busy roads where "trains" of cagers naturally forms: the cager is hypnotized by the cage in front of him, like a horse with blinders other users are not seen. only follow the cage in front. never slow down unless the cage in fronts slows; speed limits and road condition don't matter.
If the cager decide to slow and wait for a safe opportunity to overtake a moped or another slow cycle he will see the distance with cage in front increasing while in the rear view mirror other cagers swerving around trying to overtake him. His heartbeat increases, he start sweating. «If the car in front made it, I can do it too!» thinks. He put down the throttle to sharply accelerate to 100km/h while reaching the blind corner. «Oh shit! another car incoming!», he swerves passing millilitres away from the cycle.

That's honestly a pretty good description of what it's like.
Exactly what it felt like being stuck beind a 45mph car in the left lane on the NEE while 80mph+ traffc flew up and zipped around me, not letting me out (I got in left to pass center, reasonable see car in front of me then dipped center, leaving me behind the slow, I wouldn't have ran up his ass)

California is gay for having this law written this way.
Colorado's law is based on the max speed, regardless of having pedals:
20mph max = bike, can go anywhere, no license
21-28mph max speed = bike, can not go over 20mph on MUP/bike path, drivers license required
29-42mph max speed = moped, must stay on streets, may use bike lane or shoulder, but not bike path
43mpx+ = motorcycle

only requirement's are front light and working brakes

They're already heavily regulated, there's a federal ban on anything stronger than 750w motors. The issue becomes who the fuck is going to whip out some sort of complicated test to determine if you're actually using a 1000 or 1500 watt motor. It's not worth anyone's time to enforce and since it's impossible to know there's something illegal about it just by looking it at then it becomes a high effort low reward law to enforce for coppers. In my state the fine for violating the electric bike law is $10. In the time it would have taken them to determine my hub motor is actually 1000 watts and not 750 they could have pulled over 20 cagers for texting and speeding at $150-$300 a pop.

Basically you keep your head down and don't be a faggot and you do what you want. Issue is it's always looming that some masochist colossal dickwad could choose to ruin your day if you annoy him enough and he's petty enough.

Didn't the shit he built go around 60 mph?
How is that too slow for traffic? Just don't take it on the freeway.

And yeah, many places you will probably need a motorcycle license since it's a electric motorcycle, as well as get it reg and insured.
It's the reason why so many electric mopeds are built as e-bikes rather then pure electric mopeds, with easily modifiable limiters that you can turn off and one depending on where you are riding. It makes them fall into a way more flexible gray area that hasn't yet been regulated into the ground like almost everything else.

it was 50 kph at 3/4s throttle on flat ground which is like 30 mph, full throttle is probably 40 mph, if I only had travel with in my town it would be a maybe, I live in a suburban town so being barred from the freeways limits my options, also isn't worth getting a motorcycle license for, If I build something like that I'm getting more than 1500 wats, I want at least 65 mph,
