Turns out, with enough streamlining, I could consider it a scooter, as long as the engine made less than 5 HP in it's normal operating range. Unfortunately, that won't really do, I don't think. Even for a vehicle whose intended top speed is less than highway speed. I think I'll stick with the other idea and just put a low-speed vehicle insignia on it. I don't believe anyone will give me any trouble about it, really. No local cops.
