In order to make the vehicle road legal, it must be registered. In order to be registered, it must be insured and, thus, titled. Neither can be done without it first being serialized. Since most std pedal bikes don't have an on-road or DOT serial number, that makes it illegal to use a home built motorized bike on public roads in PA, including electrics and assisted effort bikes.

That pretty much sums it up.
