mine has been illegal since it was 1 hour old...lol
and speaking of legal check out a law dicionary for driver...means hauling passengers or cargo for a fee in commerce
we are traveling unless it can be shown were we lost specifically lost our right to travel then it still exists
no lisence,no regestration=no contract or joinder as the cops like to say...so don't contract and enjoy traveling

legalish - - If it looks like a bike, it's a bike, if it doesn't, it isn't.

My bikes will all do 50mph or better, and they are 100% legal as bicycles. Actually I enjoy one added legal benefit that bicycles don't...since mine are motorized and can maintain > 40kph they are ok to take on the few highways where bicycles are prohibited. You better believe that I'm lovin the ebike freedom I enjoy. :mrgreen:

Kevo, that's what the dumb-ass minister of Transport spots instead of actually writing an ebike law in N.B. Canada

Lessss,
That's kinda funny in a strange way. Might as well take advantage of the rules as they is.
