    How about bicycles? Do they have to be tagged?
    No not bicycles because they don;t have a gas or electrically driven motor. When I called DMV to inquire about using my moped I was told that any motorized vehicle MUST be approved for use on public roads and must be registered and tagged for use on public roads and the operator must possess a drivers license. Other vehicles that don;t require a registration or license are for off public road use only. This is what I was told in my conversation with NYS DMV in 2001. Now, maybe they have changed it since then. But at the time I was interested that is what they told me.

    The ONLY thing that was not mandated for mopeds or small motor vehicles (50 cc or less) was insurance. They recommend insurance but do not require.

    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
