Hello friends. I thought it might be fun to think a bit about what is legal to motor down our roads with, and what is not.
This is legal in all the states: see thumbnail 1
This is not legal in a majority of states: see thumbnail 2
If a 50 cc motor scooter is street legal, then why not my Can Am? I propose an ATV can be licensed and insured as a motorcycle with very similar requirements in most states. A new ATV would cost more to license than a 10 year old one. The additional revenue the counties would collect would more than offset the additional hassle of traffic policing when an ATV rider runs a stop sign. We owners can decide if the cost and hassle and risk of street riding is worth it, otherwise keep the ATV in the garage as we do now.
I think seeing an ATV on the street would be rather rare.
Do you have any mopeds riding the streets in your town? California certainly does as old ones are popular now. Show me some pictures of motorized vehicles that are "lesser" than ATVs but still street legal.
