While insurance may not be required it is a good idea to have it for liability reasons. That is the problem with illegal motorcycles pretending to be bicycles - they are impossible to insure without a VIN.
Uhh...
Explain the difference between a moped and a motorized bicycle.

On the other hand, I also had a Honda Scooter (metropolitan) which went 40mph as well with nothing required.

Didn't mean to hijack the thread but yeah 49cc below and electric vehicle laws make not a lick of sense when all present in the same area.
