Recently, there has been a growing interest in a type of vehicle called a "Motor-Driven Cycle." These types of vehicles are like a miniature replica of a real motorcycle and are fully operational. They are defined by State Code as "...every motorcycle that has a gasoline engine that (i)displaces less than 150 cubic centimeters; (ii) has a seat less than 24 inches in height, measured from the middle of the seat perpendicular to the ground; (iii) has no manufacturer-issued vehicle identification number." The operation of these cycles on public highways is prohibited.
