State and Federal laws in the U.S. and elsewhere. The easist way to know the law is to call a local store. They will know. In general, in the U.S. if the bike requires insurane, inspection etc.Probably not, but I think you’d like to know for sure.
In general, if the maximum speed is less than 20 m.p.h., it is legal. But play it safe, ask someone locally who know.
Consider this part of getting your basic information and shopping around. I know I would never make a major purchase (an this is one since safety and price) without doing alittle research. Then I will buy that which i have determined will suit me best. If I want to reward someone for helping me, I can buy from them or use them for repairs.
