The laws and regulations that govern the operation of motorized scooters and pocket bikes vary from state to state.
In addition, enforcement may vary from city to city. Before purchase, we recommend contacting your local law enforcement agency,
DMV and insurance carrier to obtain the most up to date and accurate information for your area.
In addition, check local laws for motorized scooter and pocket bike helmet certification requirements. They may require that helmets
adhere to ANSI, Snell or DOT certification standards. CPSC certified helmets are approved for use with push scooters, skateboards and
bikes, but are not considered sufficient head protection when riding motorized scooters and pocket bikes.
It’s the customer’s responsibility to check all local laws and regulations prior to purchase. Our standard return policy will apply
with no special consideration on all returns due to legal restrictions in your area.
California C.A.R.B. Tier 2 Emissions Law
California has strict emissions standards which make 99% of all gas scooters and gas powered pocket bikes illegal for sale or use in this
state for purposes other than closed course competition. In addition to all other local and state usage laws and regulations, the gas scooter
or pocket bike must comply with California C.A.R.B. Tier 2 exhaust emissions standards.
There is a mandatory sticker applied to all gas scooters and pocket bikes that will read in one of two ways;
California Compliant Sticker: This engine conforms to 2000 California emissions regulations for small off road engines and EPA PH2 regulations
for small non-road engines.
Non-California Compliant Sticker: This product does not conform to C.A.R.B. Tier 2 exhaust emissions standards and is not for use or resale in
California for other than closed course competition purposes.
If you live in California, please be aware of this law when selecting a gas powered scooter or pocket bike for purchase. If you live outside of
California you may want to purchase a California emissions compliant gas scooter or pocket bike for other reasons. They’re cleaner (less polluting)
and not as noisy as non-compliant gas scooters and pocket bikes.
