Didn't know which forum to ask this question. I was thinking of throwing together a bike with a 49cc motor I just acquired, to get to different spots on Block island and maybe bring to Vineyard next year. I know in Massachusetts if it's less than 50cc it doesn't qualify as a moped, but I was wondering if this would be a legal way to get around on the block and vineyard? Anyone ever seen any motorized bikes on these islands? When I went to Nantucket I remember lots of mopeds and moped rental places.Any info on the legality of this is greatly appreciated.
I was also going to add a freewheel on the rear tire so I could pedal it as well when not running the motor.
