They've been mostly replaced by shitty chinese e-bikes around me, which means now the pedestrians won't even hear it coming when they get hit by a crackhead doing 35 mph on the sidewalk.

I've built probably 30 motorized bikes, some of the ebay 2 stoke kits, some 4 stroke kits, most have been homemade. As long as it has pedals and you don't like like a dick cops won't bother you as it's a "motor assist bicycle", technically needs to be under 49cc but also no license needed.

I had one of those when I was 16, it lasted about 6 months before shaking itself apart. They're fun and cheap but I wouldn't reccomend them as daily transportation because they're pretty unreliable and dangerous. Whatever cheap bike you put the engine on wasn't designed to stand up to the vibration and force produced by an ICE.

DUI.
If the pigs bust you for relaxing a bit after work, but you still need to get to work, this is what you have to do. Bus doesn’t go to the industrial park. Taxi negates the whole “make money” part of going to work in the first place. Buy a BSO from Walmart, buy a gasser kit from Alibaba, stick them together with a monkey wrench and a roll of duct tape, and you’re good to go. If the weather sucks you can still take the car, just try not to get caught again. The whole thing will be worn out by the time you get your license back, small loss.

In my shithole state, a bicycle with a petrol motor is not a bicycle. And if it makes more than 200w it needs to be compliant with the authorities.
I have no clue wtf happens if it makes under 200w.

I like the 4 strokes more than the 2 strokes way better mileage/reliability also something I would rather ride than an ebike not having to deal with batteries. Surprised people still build them a lot these days around where I live in New York after the whole e bike boom this decade.

Cars are heavy. Literally tons of metal, they’re “heavy equipment” even if they’re not thought of that way. You’re not picking one up anyway! You can be “operating heavy equipment” on your commute home from work even if you are kinda stupid to do so drunk.

You seem to be living in a world where operating heavy machinery while drunk is bad and people who do it should feel bad, but driving drunk is fine because cars are not heavy. Okay. I can’t really argue with that logic.

I built one. According to the internet it was legal in my state but that didn't stop the police from pulling me over and sending more cops to block the road after I'd already stopped and gotten off the bike. I wasn't even out of my house for five minutes when it happened I'm 99% sure one of my neighbors called them on me. They said I had to have a motorcycle license, wear a DOT helmet (I had both), and the bike had to be insured. I had to go to court, pay the ticket, and then had a worthless motorized bike I could never use again or sell because I wasn't going to lie to anyone about why I was getting rid of it. In the end I gave the bike away after taking all the motorized parts off.

I do. Cops will say all kinds of shit. One of them told me I had to have a red rear tail light in the state of Maryland which if you want to bother looking it up is total bullshit. Merryland only says headlight after dark and red reflector in the back.

Serously watch a few Steve Lehto (lawyer) videos or something similar. Cops are not experts on the law.

This guy is absolutely correct, motorised transport is for cripples, women, elderly and other forms of degeneration.

in places like mine the battery powered pensioners are limited to 25 km/hr. So they are much slower than cyclists and rather in the way at times.
